Photographs tell you what the camera sees, while pictures tell you what the artist sees.

The meaning of this sentence is equivalent to another famous saying: ordinary people are looking for and shooting things, and photographers are looking for contact with shooting.

Most people only look at photos to see what beautiful people and scenery there are, but the real purpose of photography art is to express the inner connection of deeper things, and express the artist's inner feelings through the composition and connection of abstract pictures such as tone, composition, line color, rhythm, direction, rich texture and level.

Many people may think that many pictures are not beautiful, even gloomy and sad, and some look like a mess. That's because most people misunderstand the meaning of beauty. Beauty is not only the pleasure of appearance, but also the inner voice, not only the beautiful scenery and people, but also the author's thoughts and feelings. What is in the photo is just a medium to express feelings and thoughts. The purpose of an artist is not to record the appearance of things, but to embody the spirit of harmony between man and nature in his thoughts, feelings and artistic pursuit.

Therefore, what the camera sees is an objective thing, and what the artist sees is the subjective connection between the external object and the self (that is, the harmonious relationship between man and nature), which reflects feelings and expresses his thoughts and feelings in the scene. Photographic artists are not only recording, but also creating.
