What art is photography?
Painting art is one of the oldest visual cultures of mankind. By the time it developed to16th century, its modeling skills had been perfected. Painters can use brushes to describe various material properties of the objective world, such as shape, texture, packaging color, spatial perspective and so on. Photography is a young art, which comes with industrial civilization and is the product of the development of human social history to a certain stage. Photography tends to be on-site and objective; Painting tends to assume and idealize. The sense of scene and objectivity of photography are determined by the physical characteristics of photographic equipment such as cameras and photographic negatives. In the whole process of photography, it is impossible to produce photographic works without the help of science and technology, the assistance of machines, the mechanical function of the camera itself and the darkroom technology. Painting is different. With a brush, a piece of paper (or a piece of cloth) and paint, the author can daub it at will and write happily.

What does photography mean?
Photography art is an art form formed on the basis of modern photography technology, which can also be called artistic photography. It is similar to painting in the way of existence, display and aesthetic feeling, and all of them form an image on a two-dimensional plane, so it belongs to space art or visual art. Compared with painting, photography art is very different in the means of nailing, the use of materials, and the way and process of creation, but it is more closely related to film and television.

Human photography is a very sensitive topic, but it is unwise and impossible to avoid it. Facing the mature body photography in China, I have the following scattered ideas. Short history and eternal human body While people pay attention to their natural and interpersonal society, the human body has also received unprecedented attention in contemporary times. Especially with the gradual transition from primitive nudity to civilization, people carefully adjust the beauty system between beauty, sexiness and shame under various social and cultural conditions, forming corresponding boundaries and ethical standards in life. In reality, when the nude "site" is getting smaller and smaller, people vent their feelings through art. Therefore, they agree that the human body can be used as an art. They think that human body art is a praise of people's own value, without external social characteristics such as race, occupation and inferiority, and it is the image of people that is sublimated into the purest "person" without any additional signs. Let's not say whether undressing is equal to refining human image for the time being. We only experience the development relationship of human body art from the historical origin, and at least let us see the powerful vitality of human body photography as a social necessity-photography was born 160 years ago. When countless classic female body masterpieces appeared in paintings with thousands of years of history, especially photographers, male photographers were as brave as Adam and Eve who ate forbidden fruits in the Garden of Eden-they quickly pointed their cameras at women's bodies and exposed naked women for a few minutes without hesitation. This is a brand-new experience, which is the crystallization of science and art left by the photographer after playing with the shutter and aperture easily. The human body in the photographer's lens has since opened her prelude, which is dazzling and confusing. At the same time, people also find that human body photography is not only a unilateral practice of photographers, but also recognized by women themselves in some countries and regions, and hope that photographers can record their beauty in more ways in the lens, leaving enough visual memories to be treasured. For example, as early as 1855, shortly after the birth of photography, French photographer Eugene Durrell left some commemorative photo "suits" for women, much like the female group taking photos today. On the left side of the picture is a big picture of a woman, in the upper right corner is her human body, and in the lower right corner is a more natural picture of a woman with a bird. It is said that some ladies at that time liked to take photos like this and spread them among them, which became a fashion that we are not used to today. Even in China, where the traditional feudal consciousness is quite strong, as early as shortly after the introduction of photography art into China, photographers began to make bold attempts at human body photography, and many famous photographers were proud to set foot in the field of human body photography. For example, more than half a century ago, a master, Mr. Lang Jingshan, created many exquisite human photography works, which won many awards internationally, and also left a meaningful topic for China photography. Nowadays, whether the human body in the photographer's lens is a fantastic symbol and pastoral body, or a fresh body full of * * *, it has the texture of concrete, glass and steel plate; Whether the photographer chooses to focus on his own body or the model's body, and whether he takes friends or lovers as his subjects; Whether they directly approach the documentary, put it into the abstraction or composition of * *, or transform the human body into other life forms, such as scenery, or fantasy ... Whether their motives are scientific, aesthetic or political, photographers will still find the infinite potential of the human body. Perhaps, human photography, which directly takes the human body as the experimental object, is probably one of the most thrilling artistic practices so far. It has broken through various restrictions such as regional culture and become an unavoidable topic for all mankind. Looking through this precious portrait album and reviewing the ups and downs experienced by this exhibition, I am afraid everything is self-evident. On the reasons why female body photography is dominant. In the development track of human photography, what people may not have thought is that female beauty contains the most inherent secret of contemporary aesthetic culture. Aesthetists often regard human beauty as the highest form of nature, and female beauty is the peak of human beauty, but in fact it is not enough. A deeper explanation should be understood from a broader perspective- ......

Taking pictures with a digital camera is of course photography, which is generally called digital photography.
What is photography?
Photography is basically a mixture of applied science, imagination and design, professional skills and organizational ability. Therefore, the correct way to learn photography technology should start with a comprehensive understanding of the whole process of photo formation, rather than focusing on technical details prematurely. This includes two aspects, on the one hand, the understanding of the photographic equipment and the photographic process itself, on the other hand, the understanding of the diversified visual ways that objectively, truly and accurately constitute the image picture, and the understanding of the self-expression and public interpretation of the work. Why take pictures? What does photography actually include? Compared with other picture composition methods or information and thought expression methods, what role can photos play? What method can be used to judge the quality of photographic works? This is exactly what this chapter will elaborate. All aspects of photography For many people, one of the most attractive aspects of photography is the mystery of the photographic equipment itself. All the high-tech modern technology condensed in photographic equipment is to press the camera button one by one in order to adapt to people's hands and eyes, the "click" sound when precision parts are in place, and the photographic equipment is "armed to the teeth", which has great attraction. Although the equipment is critical and the detailed knowledge about the equipment is interesting and important, taking pictures is not just as simple as playing with the camera a few times. Another attractive aspect of photography is its practical process of easily dealing with all kinds of complicated photography problems, as well as the reward of exerting technical expertise and making final images. People can recognize and appreciate the photographic effects from its inherent "quality", such as excellent details, rich colors and colorful colors. This process provides a way for photographers to "capture what they see" and form pictures of things around them without strenuous painting. A camera is a time machine, which can condense any selected person, scene or environment, and seems to give users a kind of strength and will. In addition, photography has an attractive aspect, that is, the enjoyment brought by the visual composition of photos, that is, no matter what the content of the subject is actually, we can get real satisfaction from conceiving the picture, such as the geometric shape of lines and corridors, the balance of colors, the cutting and design of scenes and so on. You can even get more enjoyment by changing the angle of view quickly or choosing different shooting moments properly. Perhaps it is mainly because photography is a fast, convenient and true way to record things that people are attracted to it and then engage in photography (one of the reasons). However, the most important thing in photography is the subject itself, and what the photographer wants to express objectively or will reproduce. Photography is both evidence and proof, and it is also a diagram of events, and the camera is a visual record book. On the contrary, photography is often used to manipulate or explain reality, so photos often highlight some "motives" or attitudes of photographers. Photographers can arrange scenes (such as advertising photography), or they can selectively put some aspects of events on photos and ignore others (such as politically inclined news photography reports). Therefore, it can be said that photography is a powerful means of persuasion and publicity. Photography always looks real. Under the control of human beings, photographers can express whatever they choose. Another reason (the second reason) for photographers to engage in photography is to master a method of self-expression. The actual theme may not be as important as its expression. It seems strange that photography can be expressed by actually very objective things, such as metaphor and fantasy, but what is expressed is not directly related to the theme. However, the audience may understand other things from the images they see, such as flickering flames, shadows or peeling paint. This is how some expressionist artists express ordinary objects as conscious works of art, and they create a picturesque beauty by reducing details and simplifying colors. The above content is only part of the activities and interests covered by the umbrella of the term "photography". They are equal, and it is difficult to tell the good from the bad. Some of them will try to blend into the work of a photographer, and some will blend into any professional photography field. The photographer's pleasure in creating photos is probably mainly based on technology, art or communication, and his interest in one city can easily develop to another. ......
What is the specific connotation of photography?
Photography is a plastic art. With the camera and photosensitive materials as tools, the theme is expressed by means of image composition, light, tone (or tone) and other modeling methods, and its artistic image is obtained. Photographers use cameras to reflect social life and natural phenomena and express their thoughts and feelings. According to the idea of artistic creation, we can make photos with artistic appeal through the process of darkroom production by using photographic modeling skills. "As far as concept is concerned, according to the agreement of Chinese prefix suffix," photography art "can be understood in a popular way as follows: the art of photography, in a broad sense, includes all artistic activities related to photography; In a narrow sense, it refers to the part of photography that can exist as an artistic variety, that is, "a plastic art" mentioned in Ci Hai.
If you have studied photography, you should have your own feelings. Don't stick to the standard answer.
What is the essence of photography?
Jiangnan, Jiangnan Zhang, today saw the blog post "Fuzzy Pingyao and Fuzzy Avantgarde" written by the blogger "Nianqing", and had some ideas, and I wanted to get rid of Nianqing. In fact, Nianqing is an unusual blogger in Yukiko Iwai. She likes photography and writing, and the original photography and writing works published in her blog are excellent among non-professionals. Jiangnan just discussed a problem with Nianqing today. Jiangnan is a lover of words and used to be a photographer, but he is not a photographer. Although he likes photography since 1980, his cameras range from 120, Phoenix 205B and Seagull 300 SLR produced in the 1960s to several digital cards, digital SLR and so on. Of course, he can't forget the students of our university photography association developing photos and cameras in the darkroom. Jiangnan still remembers 1988' s record about the essence of photography in the textbook "New York Institute of Photography" bought from Xi 'an Zhonglou Bookstore: it is said that the essence of photography is to record the beautiful things you see. As for using mechanical camera or digital camera, it doesn't matter whether the post-production uses ordinary darkroom technology or digital darkroom technology. The key is how to reproduce the beauty you see instantly. The process is not important, but the result is important. Jiangnan is a literary lover. Let's start with literature. If a writer wants to write something, he must first think about what to write and then start writing. Photography is different. Often, you hold the camera first, then find something to shoot, and find the composition and ideas in your mind before you can freeze it into film. Jiangnan understands that photography was originally designed to leave memories, but with the changes of the times, photography has become an art, a profession and an entertainment. Cameras are used to take pictures and record romantic nights, talented people and beautiful women, as well as society and life. It varies from person to person, and hobbies decide! People recognize it as a work. Otherwise, it's called a photo! Writers tell stories, convey feelings and express ideas according to different combinations, and photography is similar. The image of the world is its material, which can be recorded and freehand brushwork according to different combinations. Everyone's personality and experience are different, and the accumulated sensory experience is also different. If you want to impress people with your works, you must have profound life experience in order to accumulate rich sensory experience and impress others. All arts are the same. Photography is only a form and means of expression, which depends on the photographer's concept, comprehensive cultural background and artistic accomplishment, and also depends on what kind of ideological and emotional tendencies you want to express through this means; The depth of your perception of the scene depends on whether you take a work or a photo. Some people sum up that it is playing with equipment in the final analysis, and Jiangnan also thinks that it makes sense. Just look at the development of cameras. An improved version of cameras and lenses is not only for less distortion, lighter dark corners, higher resolution, more realistic color reproduction and less noise. In short, realistic images are the tireless pursuit of camera users and manufacturers. What is the essence of photography? Different times have different connotations and society is developing. Can you say that photography is the kind that uses film? Can it be said that shooting the original film directly is photography? Can it be said that the film made is only to express the connotation, and the purpose of not winning the prize is photography? Just have fun. Whether you play with equipment or digital film in the later stage, if you must freeze on the so-called "essence" of photography. From the origin and types of photography, Jiangnan believes that the essence of photography is the true recording and reproduction of objective things. Whether it is high-end scientific experimental photography, rigorous judicial photography or common news photography, it is a true record and reproduction of objective things. The artistic photography we play is also rooted in life, reflecting life, higher than life and originating from life. Some old photos with cultural value, which have won national and world prizes in recent years, are good examples. The essence of photography is to record and reproduce the history of realization, and its main body is the function of the camera. The purpose of photography varies from person to person, and its subject is human thinking, and different thinking will produce different purposes. Just as the essence of eating is to fill the stomach, the purpose of eating varies from person to person. Different people have different purposes, and the same person has different purposes at different times. Nature shows a kind of natural beauty, but photography is artistic beauty. Only through proper capture and discovery by photographers can our works show the beauty of nature. Jiangnan believes that real photography is life, recording things or people around you, and a photo is a story. Photography is also an act. The key is, can such behavior bring us punishment? glad ......
