Introduction to photographic language

Photographic language, that is, lens language, refers to using the lens to express our meaning like language. Usually the camera can take one picture after another, similar to one picture after another. Pictures can show the photographer's intention, the theme of shooting and the change of the picture. Readers feel what the photographer wants to express through the lens through photos, which is called "the lens can talk" In the image world, although the purpose of speaking is the same as usual, the lens language has no rules. As long as you express your meaning through the lens, no matter what lens method you use, it can be called lens language.
