What do you think is the charm of photography?

It is said that photography is the handprint of civilization, and I quite agree with this metaphor. The invention of photography is a great progress of modern human civilization, because it was deeply branded as a "civilian" as soon as it appeared. Although photography has long been a "plaything" of the rich, it has aristocratic lineage, but its bold and unconstrained personality in its bones determines that it will eventually "run away from home" to fight and find its position and role in the changing world. It caters to the mainstream direction of contemporary civilization progress and has strong vitality. Photography nowadays is nothing more than ordinary people. When the camera walks into every ordinary family and there is nothing to do, it is nothing more than a common practice to take some photos as a souvenir when taking family members or calling friends out to play. Further, it is to shoot the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers for people to enjoy the beauty; Take a group of beautiful wedding photos as a permanent memorial when you get married; In order to stay young and beautiful, it seems that photography is a very relaxing thing. But sometimes, when you see some photos, it seems that you have been hit by a ruthless bullet, and the invisible blood flows mercilessly, so you can't help but groan. At this point, you don't feel a little happy, but you feel a heavy pressure on you. Photography faces two choices at this time. One is artistic, and the other is documentary. Photographers are also faced with a kind of confusion, a kind of thinking and a kind of pain.
