Landscape photography

Landscape photography refers to a type of photography based on a calm, rational and relatively objective viewing mode, with "manufactured landscapes" as the shooting object.

Landscape photography was originally Nathan? In 1966, Cai suggested that the connotation of landscape photography should be expanded and the concept of social landscape should be put forward. Landscape photography is not only shooting "manufactured landscapes", but also gaining a new understanding of society and nature. China's cutting-edge photography is almost divorced from the characteristics of photography, and only keeps photographic records. Among these works, the most famous is often not the techniques and concepts of photography, but the attractive content in the photos. And landscape photography is also to shoot the essence of society through scenery.

Fan's contemporary order

The object of the author's photography is the artificially transformed landscape, the state of people living in these places, the order they constitute, and these seemingly ordinary scenes, focusing on presenting many States and phenomena in the city, trying to find out the causes of social landscape and different regional scenes in the process of urbanization development through exploration and practice.

The topic of "contemporary order" is also reflected in these photos. The man-made tall buildings, roads and people in the photo are all orderly. The order of tall buildings and the order of people going up are for one thing.

Zhang Xiao's coastline

While the face of China has undergone earth-shaking changes, many traditional concepts and living habits have also been subverted. The traditional living habits of China people have been strongly impacted. Lack of a sense of belonging may be a collective problem of our contemporary China people.

China has a long coastline, stretching 18000 kilometers from the mouth of Yalu River in Liaoning to the mouth of Beilun River in Guangxi. Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, great changes have taken place in China every day. Every city is like a big construction site that will never be completed. China is stepping up its pace to keep up with the general trend of globalization. All this is particularly prominent in coastal areas, where a large number of China people have left their homes and flooded in. The process of urbanization continues at a high speed, but people's spiritual life is slowly stagnant.

The windy city of Gao Yan

In the windy city, the changes that have taken place on this island are a complete and unique cultural ecosystem. The artist records the changes of the island from a personal perspective, and through constant watching, he understands the relationship between local people and the natural environment, cultural heritage and modern civilization. At the same time, Gao Yan is constantly thinking about how people can adapt to this rapidly changing era by constantly adjusting their social status and living conditions in the new cultural ecology.

In an interview with reporters, the author said this. When I heard the word "original ecology", my first reaction was that the real original ecology may have long since disappeared, and the local natural environment and humanistic ecology will certainly be affected by the homogenization problem brought about by consumer culture and globalization.

visual angle

Landscape photography is a broader concept than natural landscape photography, which includes human landscape, artificial landscape, urban landscape, political landscape and economic landscape.

Landscape photography has gradually become a new hot spot in contemporary China photography. Photographers reflect the problems and essence of today's society through the lens, criticize the society and express their inner thoughts. There is no boundary between scenery and documentary. Landscape photography is not only to shoot beautiful scenery, but also to express deeper meaning. Art has no boundaries.
