Emotion-the highest state of photography

Let me talk about Mr. Zhu Ziqing's back first.

Some people say that the "back" can't be seen through without experience. Kafka said that people take pictures of things to drive them out of their hearts, and my story is a way to close my eyes. In my eyes, there is not much difference between a camera and a pen. They are all recording tools, even if you don't spit. For a text without emotion, just like a person without soul, a photo without emotion can only be called a photo or a photo taken casually.

Photography is not simple. Taking photos with a mobile phone can't be called photography.

Teacher Yang Xiaoli said that the essence of photography is instantaneity, and the highest realm is the expression of artistic emotion.

Kevin carter, the author of the above picture, committed suicide after winning the Pulitzer Prize for this photo. His works are full of emotion. He hopes to help these people. He used his meager strength to help these people, but he deeply felt that his strength was too meager, so he fell into deep depression.

If a photo is only the correct exposure, the restoration of color, and the rules of lighting (the use of vision, main light and auxiliary light) are not called artistic photography, but at best it is just an assignment.

Whether you are a photographer or an appreciator, when you face an excellent work, you should be able to experience all the feelings of the photographer from the photos. If a photographer doesn't touch himself, how can he take pictures that touch others?

1948+0949 During the winter solstice in spring, Bresson interviewed China cities such as Beiping, Nanjing and Shanghai. This picture of a little boy with a sad face was snapped and folded in the procession of Nanjing citizens buying rice, revealing the misery and suffering of the people of China. Bresson is a thoughtful photographer. B. Green, the famous president of the American Magazine Photographers Association, once said: "It seems that Bresson's photography seems to come casually. But in fact, he is a very thoughtful person.

The above is Bresson's masterpiece, which perfectly embodies Bresson's connotation of the intermediate decisive moment, but if you have no emotional connection with the subject, how can you feel the decisive moment of the subject (yes, photography is always object-centered)?

In new york 105 block, a rogue pointed his gun at the photographer's lens. "He is only 1 1 years old, but he has learned everything." Photographer Klein recalled: "Of course, he had a fake gun in his hand. He was just playing a game that American children used to play in the street." But in my opinion, this moment is no longer a child's game. "

Bravo once said: Photography is the result of people's efforts for many years and will continue to develop-photography must strive to improve people's image and the environment in which they were born. People and the environment are diverse and constantly changing, so it is possible to keep the image rich forever by putting your own views on it.

Therefore, when you find that your photographic works are not improved, artistic, infectious and shocking, and you don't want to see your own works, you should find the reasons from the connotation of the works. Do you have any contact with the subject, such as taking portraits? If you don't know your subject deeply and form a connection with him, how can you find this person's decisive moment? For example, if you don't realize your subtle feelings about some things in nature, how can you find the most suitable angle and the most desired combination among many parameters?

Zen says that as long as you live in the present, everyday life is meditation. And photography is also the art of living in the present. Photography is a great invention. Every one of us who studies photography should learn about nature and the object of photography from his works. At the same time, we should re-recognize ourselves, our experiences and our aesthetic and artistic views. When you really know your object and who you are, you really embark on the road of artistic photography. At that time, you will find that photography is actually a gesture of life, and your photography has made a qualitative leap.
