What is the purpose of news photography?

The planning of news photography reports must be able to give full play to the advantages of photography: visual impact. The principle of planning and considering the theme is to have a sense of lens. The so-called camera sense has three criteria: first, the news subject can be displayed by the picture, especially the inner world of the characters; Second, the news background and its environment can be displayed through pictures; Third, the news scene has a strong impact, that is, whether news and picture composition can form a climax that makes people echo each other. At present, there is a phenomenon of "big" in newspapers. That is to say, newspaper pages are lifeless without pictures, but there must be a degree between the "big" and "small" news pictures. The ruler to grasp this fate can only be "big" and "small" of "news content". However, in the eyes of some editors and reporters (including a few editors-in-chief), they think that the bigger the picture, the better the visual effect and the stronger the impact. As a result, the "big" wind of greed in picture editing seems to be getting worse. Long and empty words are often denounced by readers as smelly and long "lazy wife foot-binding" Similarly, a big and empty picture without "news content" is also a kind of "bubble". Although this kind of news picture looks "big", it has no influence because of its dull, pale and empty content, but it can only occupy, waste and even pollute the space.
