Similarities and differences between photography and painting

Photography is real and natural, natural objects are restored by photographic equipment, and painting is also a true representation of virtual scenery.

? (A) the * * relationship between photography and painting

Photography and painting are both artistic forms that express reality. When people appreciate photography and painting, they need to observe the images displayed in the works through visual senses. At the same time, both of them are the fixation and display of an instant image, and people can only imagine stories outside the picture in the appreciation of the picture; Photography and painting are a static graphic art form, which is different from drama and dance and has the characteristics of three-dimensional space.

(B) the difference between photography and painting

The difference between photography and painting is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

First, the equipment they use for creation is different. Painting art has a long history, and it still uses traditional painting tools, including brushes and pigments, which is one of the main characteristics of painting art. The application of photography technology mainly depends on modern photographic equipment, using modern optics, electronics and other scientific technologies.

Second, there are great differences in expression between them. Painting is fundamentally related to the painter's personal ideas, and the painter can express different combinations of lines and colors at will according to his own ideas, which has strong subjective characteristics; The focus of photography technology is to show real scenes and things. In the process of continuous development of photography technology, the goal is always to show more real pictures, and how to deal with photos also reflects the original appearance of actual things.

Third, the two are different in the requirements of creating scenes. When a painter creates a work, he doesn't have high requirements for the scene. Painters can form memories of the pictures they need to show in their minds and create paintings in different scenes, such as studios and suburbs. Photography needs to be completed in real time in a specific scene, and the work can only be post-processed in the photography studio.

Third, the time required for their creation is different. Painting often takes a long time, from a few days to several years or even longer. Photography can be done in an instant, and photographic equipment can shoot things in the scene in an instant.

(C) the interaction between photography and painting

Photography and painting not only have the above similarities and differences, but also have an interactive relationship that cannot be ignored. Especially since the development of the times, photography technology has been developing and progressing, and painting art is increasingly influenced by photography technology. The application of photography technology has a positive impact on the effect of paintings. For example, by studying and applying the principle of light and shadow processing in photography, painters can make their paintings more realistic. In addition, for some unrepeatable pictures, it may be difficult for artists to capture them at the moment they appear. At this time, photography can freeze the picture and broaden the scope of painting. For example, some disaster scenes can show more real scenes and pictures. With the help of these photographic works, painting can also show more content.
