What is the connection between painting and photography?

Photography and painting belong to two-dimensional visual plane plastic arts.

Photography has absorbed many modeling principles of painting in the development process, which makes photography have artistic characteristics similar to painting since its birth. The remarkable feature of both is to create a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plane through light, shadow, color, point, line and surface.

Therefore, many basic skills of painting, such as the grasp of light and shade, the understanding and application of color, and the choice of composition, are also shared by photography. For example, composition, but also pay attention to "airtight, sparse and not leaking"; In terms of color, we also pay attention to "three colors".

In addition, the colors used in painting and photography have the same influence on the mood of the viewer. Therefore, if you have a basic knowledge of painting, learning photography will get twice the result with half the effort.

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. The painter can freely express different combinations of lines and colors 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.
