How to give a title to your photography?

Titles and pictures complement each other and restrict each other. 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.

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.

Repeated tempering and refining, improving generalization ability, and achieving "no words in the topic, but many meanings outside the topic" are important ways to create titles. 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.

1, a good title should reflect the truth, goodness and beauty, such as: Gannan, autumn breath within reach (Lanzhou Lao Dan), one and five-Gansu bitter children cry for learning! When did you stop at Meiyuan (Great Traveler)

2. A good title needs novelty.

Use new words and ideas. Only by grasping the pulse of the times and making creation and naming closely related to the times can we create innovative works.

Such as: today's landscape Lanzhou (the boat of the East), magic beans and magic beans will soon appear ~ (a lot), the life of people in the sun (Northeast Tiger)

But avoid using vulgar and ambiguous words.

3. A good title should be elegant and subtle.

When naming the works with pastoral scenery, flowers and birds, beautiful scenery, flat as a mirror, clear reflection, flowers in the fog, girls, love or sunset, we should make the names fully reflect the beautiful, gentle and relaxed artistic conception, avoid too strong stimulation, and at the same time be subtle but not too straightforward, leaving room for readers to think and guess. Let readers understand the meaning and connotation of the work with their own personal experiences and feelings, so as to be inspired.

Such as: the water town in the dream (spring in the western regions), the golden gate source-the dance of the flower sea (north), the faint fragrance (gray), and the still life sketch "Love you for the winter" (the heartbeat is still the same)

4. A good title should be humorous.

You can use questions, revelations, praise, lyricism, narration, textual research and other methods, and use various modification methods such as metaphor, exaggeration, suggestion, pun, symbol, homophonic and metonymy to achieve humorous effect. Such as: shooting a bird of paradise (building a city), African MM (Yaya) dancing for Lanzhou Club, leisurely walking on Zhangye Road (scholar) and eating books (Du Feng).

A good title should be concise and vivid.

Exquisiteness and image can arouse the audience's voice, expand association, appreciate the beauty of photography art, and also appreciate the beauty of literary language. 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.
