A famous documentary photographer

Born in Geldof, a suburb of Cologne, Sander worked in a coal mine when he was young, and then switched to portrait photography. He had no artistic training, so he developed a simple world outlook and photography skills. He once recalled the westling he studied: "These people, I have been familiar with their lives since childhood ... so from the beginning, I saw the same type from individual types of villagers, which is a sign of human quality."

Unlike many photographers, he is not a "predator" of images, but a peaceful face facing the subject. Just like his photography experience in the photo studio, his relationship with the subject is an intentional and peaceful display. The details and connotation of the subject fully show the identity of the subject through this intentional gesture, so the significance of the subject's existence is reflected through this display. Even if the subject tries to hide his identity, photography directly reflects the details. Just like John. Berg commented on Thornton's two films "Young Farmer" and "Country Band" in Westling Mountain: Even if both films are wearing suits, they can't hide the social class of the wearers. It is their physical characteristics and behavior that reveal some imperceptible disharmony, and it is this disharmony that gives the viewer an indescribable sense of absurdity visually.

But more often, his honest record of portraits of various classes in Germany made him go beyond the scope of photography, more like an anthropologist, accurate and insightful beyond appearances. It is this fair attitude that simplifies the photography language to a minimum, and allows more information of the subject to be provided to the viewer as much as possible. As time goes by, they become more and more precious.

2. Andre Kertesz, the pioneer of modern photography

André kerté SZ (1894-1985), an American photographer, was born in Budapest, Hungary. As a pioneer of modern photography, Cortez's photos and attitude towards life have always brought endless inspiration to photographers all over the world. Various expressions can be found in his works.

Every photo of Cortez fully shows the integration of art and life. He likes to construct pictures with changeable geometric forms to make up for traces, and enhance the mysterious effect of light and shadow through various forms of interaction, which causes a subtle and rich psychological feeling in people's hearts. Blacet once said: "Cortez has two qualities that are essential for great photographers: tireless curiosity about the world, people and life, and exquisite sense of modeling."

In the 1920s, Cortez began to take photos in Paris, and moved to the United States after 1930s, where he experienced a long career as a professional photographer. He has created a wide range of subjects, from news photography to taking professional indoor photos for vogue magazine. His style not only reflects the development track of European news photography, but also embodies the characteristics of a new visual movement that pays attention to conception and space.

The purpose of Cortez's photography is not to record important events, but to show the surprising side of ordinary things. Therefore, a major feature of Cortez's works is the interesting picture and perfect geometric structure, which makes it as important as the content.

Cortes is good at using modeling and space, and he is very interested in composition in plane performance. He also uses the corners, shadows and lines of objects to form images, and observes any unexpected vivid details with keen eyes and combines them into wonderful pictures.

Cortez's works don't pay much attention to capturing wonderful moments, but emphasize personal expression, and most of them are experimental. His photos related to mondriaan, a painter, once set a new high in auction works, with strong experimental style and composition. He told a friend: "I instinctively tried to show the artist's spiritual strength in my photos, which is his simplicity, simplicity and conciseness."

Cortez's photography career has lasted for 73 years, and he has chosen equipment ranging from large format dry camera to Paula SX-70 camera. Today, people who collect these works are all over the world.

Andre? Andre Chertes (1894-1985) published photography for sixty years (1912-1972).

3. The famous American photographer william klein.

William klein (1928-) and 1963 were selected as the 30 most important photographers in the history of photography by the international judges of the World Photography Expo, mainly because of his emotional album "Life in new york is good for you-William? The carnival that Klein saw in a trance had a great response in Europe.

In the picture book, he used what he called "failure in photography", which caused accidents, coarseness, blurring and deformation, and formed a brand-new visual language, showing new york's life to the world with just the right passion.

In some later works, we can also read some classic fashion photographs, especially the mirrors placed on the street, which won the applause of the audience with slightly exaggerated shapes and humorous colors. Some critics believe that his original creative technique "has never been seen since the 1950s, combining my strength and courage". When his works were exhibited in new york in 1980s, Sakowski, director of the Museum of Modern Art, wrote: "Klein's photos 20 years ago were perhaps the most uncompromising at that time. They are fearless and seem to be the most corrupt-far from the normal standards that people are used to ... These pictures confirm to people what life in photos will look like, thus expanding the vocabulary of life. "
