Photographic art and cultural books

Adams monograph artificial light photography ◆ Cartier-Bresson's photographic works ◆ Photography and observation art 1: Adams: the birth of 40 works.

24 format, 153 page, published by Zhejiang Photography Publishing House.

Ansel adams, who has been regarded as a master of landscape photography since he was introduced to China, founded zone system and left a strong impression in the history of photography, and is bound to leave an embarrassing position in the history of photography development in China, is surprisingly simple between the lines of this book.

Adams told us that he carefully selected 40 photos, and he recalled under what circumstances these photos were taken, and what treatments were made when they were developed and enlarged later. Technical details should be as detailed as possible. However, I am afraid what is even more touching is the master's understanding of photography aesthetics and his awe of nature. I'm afraid only in this way can the master's paintings have such great passion.

In the chapter "Equipment and Use", the author of Portrait Photography published by British Focus Press said that there is no need to use lenses with extremely precise optical quality in portrait photography. The old portrait lens has several optical defects, as well as those simple and cheap aspherical lenses or other ancient lenses with optical defects, which can still be used in portrait photography even today. As for the clarity and softness of the portraits, it is also the photographer's hobby that determines the artistic tendency of the works. Some people pursue high definition and like to portray the characters vividly, while others like soft lines and unclear outlines. The former needs high definition to express the characteristics of the elderly, while the latter seems to be more suitable for softening the femininity of women on the camera. Then, in order to show the personality and characteristics of the characters and shoot high-definition works, do you still need those expensive high-end lenses with excellent optical quality? I don't think this is necessary because we are talking about portrait photography. Generally, the position of a portrait on the screen is mostly in the middle, so as we all know, a three-piece Kirk lens can completely meet the requirements of any type of portrait shooting (Kirk lens has the characteristics of high center resolution and low edge resolution), and what's more, people often deliberately use its optical defects to decorate the special effects of portraits!

5. Patterson, a famous Canadian photographer and photographer ★ Photography art and observation ★ Photography and visual psychology ★ Photography of natural objects ★

An old photographer once said: 1993, I read a photographic work called "The Art of Photography and Observation", and it took me ten years to understand what the book called "learning to observe". !

The art of photography and observation mainly discusses three aspects: learning to observe, learning to imagine and learning to express. Each chapter in the book provides training methods for corresponding abilities.
