Various schools of modern photography

Although modern photography has different styles, its content is rich and colorful. But one thing in common is the opposition to tradition.

Understanding social life with a new way of thinking and studying photographic objects with a new perspective show the diversity of photographic creation, including the new changes in the values of photographic art.

If there is any characteristic, it is diversity of choices.

Cross-use a variety of visual language forms, including photos, pictures and words to express ideas.

Modern photography is characterized by innovation and change. They are constantly exploring areas that have never been explored before, which will inevitably bring about innovations in ideas or forms.

Modernity is not only the expression of time, but also its artistic style, which is characterized by rebellion against traditional photography.

First, the uncertainty of the picture content

The distinctive theme of traditional photography is one-way thinking, which can only touch the surface and cannot fully understand the outside world.

Modern artistic creation is a complicated process. In this cross-subject, colorful contradictory movement, photographers use self-emotion as an intermediary to let their artistic imagination construct their own images.

Only uncertainty can mobilize the viewer's thinking and reflect complex and diverse external phenomena.

Most of the titles are neutral, without any emotional color, and the audience can't see the meaning of the work.

The more complete the photo, the less likely it is to blur. Modern photography tries to destroy the integrity of the picture to prevent the audience from understanding it. The extensiveness and uncertainty of this expression are the psychological basis of polysemy.

Modern photographers believe that, in terms of the capacity and expressiveness of works, it is this kind of photos that provide the possibility of unlimited expansion of its connotation.

Second, the diversity of expression forms.

Traditional photography only accepts one mode, a single external form. This single form of expression hinders the development of photography.

Modern photography pays attention to the photographer's subjective thoughts and personal feelings about external objectivity in form.

Modern art photographers are constantly changing people's visual experience and aesthetic way.

Picasso said: the development trend of art today is that it is not enough to use only the purest art, but all forms of art are needed.

As an important cultural phenomenon, modern western photography art did not happen by accident, but its existence and development have an objective and realistic basis.

Third, objective reality and subjective emotion.

Traditional photographers regard realism as the essential feature of art, and they take objective reality as the object of expression, and create artistic works with aesthetic value with real and concrete visual images. Modern photography believes that photography activities with objective truth as the main goal are out of date. It is believed that photography should not be limited to the superficial scope of documentary, but should go beyond its own limitations, enter the subjective world from the objective world, and explore and seek new language forms.

Modern photography moves from objective to subjective, which is inseparable from western artistic thought. Existentialism has swept the whole western world. They believe that there is no reality outside people, and only personal feelings and intelligence awareness are realistic.

To understand the true nature of the world, we must reveal people's inner feelings.

They are not shooting the objective reality, but pursuing a psychological and spiritual performance.

Objective external things are just the carrier for photographers to express their inner feelings.

Fourthly, the interaction of audience participation.

The potential aesthetic features of a work can only gain artistic vitality if the viewer understands and participates in the activities.

Traditional photographers let the audience passively accept their own works, while modern art photographers let the audience actively participate and intervene.

In the development of modern art, the viewer's sense of participation is a very important concept in modern consciousness, which is synchronous with the strengthening of human subject consciousness in the whole modern civilization. The audience is more and more involved in the exploration of artists and the process of artistic creation.

Only when viewers put their different consciousness into the photo will the photo creation process come to an end.

The participation of the audience expanded the degree of expression. When modern photographers exhibit their works, they often create an atmosphere to facilitate the intervention of the viewers.

An important feature of modern photography art is that they do not take the work as the ultimate goal, but give the viewer the right to complete the work.

Modern photographers don't want his works to be immortal, just want the audience to enter his artistic realm.

Modern photographers believe that the use of traditional photography is a skillful technique to control the color and structure of light and shadow, and to create a beautified and blurred picture. These works are easy for audiences to understand and get used to. On the other hand, modern photographers want to change the audience's habit of appreciating their works. In the form of expression, it shows an extremely absurd scene to arouse the viewer's surprise and confusion. They often use the principles of thinking and contradictory expressions to show the world in an extremely contradictory and incredible way.

Five, across time and space

Break the boundaries of space, break through the concept of moment, and disassemble the visual space-time expression with some complete meaning in the works.

The reality they reflect does not exist in ordinary three-dimensional space, but in people's imagination space. They regard surrealism, dreams and subconsciousness as the source of artistic creation.

Sixth, the renewal of the concept of beauty and ugliness.

Another important feature of modern photography is questioning and challenging the traditional aesthetic value. Modern photographers show a preference for ugliness, which reflects their rebellion against traditional photography. They think ugliness is ever-changing. And ugliness has richer connotation than beauty.

Modern photographers believe that the scarier the form, the more attractive it is.

Eliminate the purpose and intention of shooting in advance, but emphasize unconscious contingency or contingency, and pursue natural inaction in artistic creation.

They downplay the typical and choose the "original ecology" of life. Let the viewer observe the true colors of things and feel life directly.

The theme is not important, what matters is the visual effect when these things are arranged together.

Traditional art photography is an orderly and perfect whole, every detail is arranged in the best position, and the content irrelevant to the theme is deleted. Modern photography believes that this is a rigid creative form, and a free state is the best choice. Without standardized expression techniques, it can bring the greatest freedom to artistic expression.

Modern photography itself can be regarded as a genre, and it will also cross with other photography genres.
