Photography and aesthetics

As one of the emerging arts, photography is far less ancient than traditional arts such as painting and music. However, as an important part of graphic art, the aesthetic value of photography is not only to bring visual effects to viewers.

Everything we see in it should live like this according to our understanding, which is beautiful; Anything that shows life or reminds us of life is beautiful. "This is the view of Russian writer Chernyshevski, which is very suitable for photography that relies on reality and replicates life.

Also, all natural beauty, that is, the primary beauty of reality, will depend on photography. In other words, all natural beings are the objects of photography-this kind of shooting is an accurate reproduction.

Rodin said: "Beauty is not too little for us, but we should find it with our eyes. See with your own eyes what others have seen and find beauty in what others are used to. "

Therefore, the aesthetics of photography, that is, the beauty of discovery, is the beauty of reproduction.

It can be said that the real beauty in life has been discovered and photographed, which is the basis of photography aesthetics.

The inner beauty in real life is discovered by photographers, and it is not an ordinary discovery. This is a unique, harmonious and striking picture discovery, and the real existence of the scene. This is the starting point of photography aesthetics.

Aesthetic feeling is a very abstract thing, which has the same * * * as music. The rhythm and rhythm of the music make people listen. Similarly, a rhythmic and rhythmic photo is also very attractive. These rhythmic composition methods are considered to be beautiful. The neat rows of trees and winding rivers all reflect the sense of rhythm, and the combination of static and dynamic, size contrast and virtual and real contrast mentioned in photography are the sense of rhythm.

Ansel adams once said, "When I see a good photo, I often hear the music of the photo. This is not my mystique and self-love, but a sense of structure, which is spontaneously produced by music from photos.

Adams' famous area exposure method has the same effect as music. Each area is like a different syllable in the score, and the photographer can freely adjust the light and dark areas according to his own ideas. In Adams' photo, we can see that he controls the exposure accurately, so that every part of the photo can be clearly displayed on the screen.

In today's era when everyone can take pictures anytime and anywhere, the light, color and texture captured by the camera all reflect the photographer's understanding of things. Art is not utilitarian, nor does it simply stay at the moral level. The works of excellent photographers permeate all levels of life. Photography is not simply taking pictures, and photography aesthetics guides photographers to create from the laws of beauty left by former people. More importantly, as a photographer, on the basis of grasping the subject and object of creation, he uses his long-term accumulated experience to experience pictures and emotions, and uses his eyes that are good at discovering to open more beautiful emotional support and create more infectious works.
