How to give a title to your photography?

It's nice to see more photos taken by friends of Lanzhou Club. Everyone creates his favorite works with his enthusiasm in his spare time, which is the source of happiness. \x0d\ But I found that when giving a title to a work, one is random and the other is often troubled, so today I will talk about the title of a photographic work with my own understanding. \x0d\ Title is an important part of a photographic work and the soul of the picture. Can enhance the expressive force of photographic works \x0d\ Title and picture are complementary and mutually restrictive. The picture is the foundation and the basis of the proposition, and the topic is the extension and extension of the image meaning presented by the picture. Pictures play a decisive role in titles, but the reaction of titles to pictures should not be underestimated. \x0d\ The title of a photographic work of art should be the finishing touch, not the gilding the lily. Of course, giving a photographic work a proposition depends on the picture, but it is not enough to have the title "Look at the picture and talk". Absorbing nutrition from various art forms, combining the strengths of each family and applying it to the proposition of photos can often achieve a perfect, unified and touching degree in vividly reflecting life and embodying specific ideological content. For example, learn from the imagination of poetry and the sense of rhythm of music, or borrow idioms, proverbs, two-part allegorical sayings and dialects. , can receive unique artistic effects. \x0d\ It is an important way to create a title by hammering and scrutinizing repeatedly, improving the generalization ability, and achieving "no words in the topic, but many meanings outside the topic". There are many works whose titles are only two or three words, even single-word titles or no-word titles (that is, using symbols and letters as titles), which are very artistic and achieve the finishing touch effect. Of course, the fewer words in a title, the better. As long as it is meaningful, reasonable, affectionate and wordy, it is a good title. \x0d\ 1, a good title should reflect the truth, goodness and beauty, such as: Gannan, autumn breath within reach (Lanzhou Lao Dan), one to five-Gansu bitter children cry for learning! (Flying Swallow in the North), how long will it take to find Meiyuan to live in seclusion (great traveler) \x0d\2. A good title requires novelty, new words and new ideas. Only by grasping the pulse of the times and making creation and naming closely related to the times can we create innovative works. \x0d\ For example, today's landscape Lanzhou (Oriental Boat), magic beans and magic beans will soon appear ~ (a lot), people's life in the sun (Northeast Tiger) \x0d\ But don't use vulgar and ambiguous words \x0d\3. A good title should be elegant and subtle \x0d\ for those pastoral scenery, flowers and birds, beautiful scenery. Let readers understand the meaning and connotation of the work with their own personal experiences and feelings, so as to be inspired. \x0d\ such as: Dream of fertile water (Spring in the Western Regions), Golden Gate Source-Dance of Flowers (North _), Fragrance (Grey), Still Life Essay "Love You for the Winter" (Heartbeat Still) \x0d\4. A good title should be humorous \x0d\ and can use questions, revelations and compliments. Such as: shooting a bird of paradise (building a city), African MM (Yaya) dancing for Lanzhou Club, leisurely walking on Zhangye Road (scholar), reading (Du Feng) \x0d\5. A good title should be concise and vivid \x0d\ concise and vivid, which can arouse the audience's voice, expand their association and engage in reading. You can use some idioms, allusions, famous sayings and epigrams. At the same time, in order to expand the influence, you should choose loud and beautiful rhymes and tones when choosing words, which will make people sound pleasant and easy to remember. \x0d\ such as: filming in Xiaolan-reincarnation in front of the temple (Xiaolan), locking in this life (many ♂) and meeting with spring (many ♂)\x0d\ Try not to use too straightforward words to name the title of the film: \x0d\ such as: novice please clap bricks.
