What photography works amaze you?

1. Louis-Jacques-Jean-Daguerre

Although Daguerre is not a photographer, as a recognized inventor of photography, he is known as the "father of photography". 1839, the French government officially announced the birth of photography to the whole world. The "photography" here is Daguerre's "silver plate photography". As Daguerre himself is a painter, his photos have already had the shadow of early photo photography, which is well reflected in his masterpiece "Paris Temple Street".

At the beginning of photography, people thought that taking photos like painting could enhance the artistic value of photos. Painting school is the school that holds this view, and it is also the first photography style school in the history of photography. However, photography began to be recognized as an art, or from the work Two Lifestyles (also known as Two Lifestyles) exhibited by British Relander in 1857. This work was exhibited at the Manchester Art Exhibition in England and was collected by the Queen of England. Relander's successful development in photo photography also won him the reputation of "the father of artistic photography". & ltImg 3。 Henry Page Robinson

Robinson, an Englishman, also changed from a painter to a photographer, which was very common in early photo photography. But unlike other painters, Robinson not only has superb photography skills, but also established a theoretical system of photo photography. 1869, Robinson published the book "Picture Effect of Photography", 1884, and he also published the book "Composition Method of Photographs". This also made him the leader of19th century photography "advanced art movement". His representative works include Dying. & ltImg 4。 Peter Henry Emerson

Emerson was one of the earliest representatives who challenged the idea of photo photography. He wrote a book, Naturalistic Photography (1889), which advocated recording reality directly and pursuing natural effects. His masterpiece is Life and Scenery of Norfolk Generation. Although Emerson later changed his view, his "naturalism" photography thought influenced the field of photography and laid the foundation for later "direct photography" and "pure photography". & ltImg 5。 Alfred Stiglitz

Stiglitz is a well-deserved master of early modern photography in the United States and is called "the father of modern photography". He founded the American photography separation school, published the photography publication "Photographic Works", and also founded the "Photographic Separation School Small Gallery", with many works and extraordinary contributions in his life. The style of his works has changed from painting to modernity. He opened up a new world for photography, and also directly influenced later photographers such as strand and Weston. His masterpiece is late. & ltImg 6。 Edward Steichen

"Pure photography" in modern photography began to advocate the complete separation of modeling style and painting. Steichen is one of the advocates of pure photography and the founder of practical commercial photography in the United States. He erected a historical monument for modern photography with his 70-year-long photography practice and a large number of works. His masterpiece is Duncan. 7. paul strand

"Respect the object, in order to fully express the sense of existence, never use special techniques and tricks, but shoot directly." This is strand's description of his idea of "direct photography". Personally, from strand, photography really broke away from the influence of painting and began to find its own way. Strand's thoughts and viewpoints also influenced later masters such as Weston and Adams. His masterpiece is White Fence.
