School of landscape photography

The genre of landscape photography is popular and common, but do you know how many forms of expression we can use in landscape photography? The following are some genre introductions about landscape photography that I have compiled for your reference.

First, documentary shooting skills

Is to restore and extract a kind of natural beauty from your vision and technology. The biggest feature is that the role of cognitive witness plays a leading role.

Virtual rather than fictional.

Not all the scenes and things in the past can be truly reproduced, and some need to be virtually reproduced through the current scientific and technological means, but these are all virtual, not fictional. Because these virtual scenes and things are based on real existence and history. Using three-dimensional animation and digital special effects for virtual reproduction is a kind of virtual reality with scientific and historical basis. For example, the documentary Yuanmingyuan cannot be constructed without the support of modern digital special effects technology, so it cannot be reproduced. As we all know, this magnificent royal garden in the history of our country has been destroyed by war. If we only construct by shooting objects, I'm afraid there are broken walls everywhere in front of us. Curious to see the special documentary broadcast on "Man and Nature"? In Walking with Dinosaurs, foreign photographers made good use of the technique of virtual reproduction, which made me see the lifelike? Living dinosaur community.

The combination of reality and virtuality

Real reproduction needs our memory and knowledge reserve, while virtual reproduction needs our imagination. When the two are combined, we will be well integrated into this documentary. As we all know, China's opera art vividly embodies the combination of reality and fiction in documentary shooting. China's opera performance only needs simple props on the stage and the makeup and costumes of the actors. Sometimes we can even understand the complex reality that actors want to express through their simple actions. But this is a great challenge to our imagination and knowledge reserve, and it is often difficult for the younger generation to understand the real existence contained in opera. In Plant Kingdom, a documentary about plants, I was deeply moved by the combination of reality and reality when explaining the development and changes of plant species, and showed the dynamic changes of plant species proportion in a three-dimensional graphic way.

Second, photo photography.

The characteristics of photo photography are: pursuing the interest of painting. Everything is based on the principles of painting, including composition and standardization. In short, everything is based on the standard of painting. The creation of photo photography can be divided into painting school and painting school. Painting school is roughly posing, drawing a sketch first and restoring it according to the layout and scene of the picture; The school of painting is to restore the previous picture appropriately according to the scene, which makes people feel like a painting.

If painting photography needs a definition, it needs a position. In fact, based on a higher level of aesthetic needs, works of art are placed in a mysterious position: compared with lively and fiery fashion photography, it seems more? Chun Xue? Some are more meaningful; Compared with simple instant shooting, it has more connotation. Personally, photo photography is actually a photographic work that combines instant shooting+time or space scenes+painting techniques. In short, if transient photography is a witness of history, we can make a footnote for it; Painting is a prop that can decorate life and a carrier that can take care of aesthetic enjoyment. It should appear in every corner of people's lives.

For photo photography? Painting? It is a form, and if we want to turn this form into a meaningful work, we must integrate our personal thoughts into the photos. So what? Painting? The first weight? Meaning? Chinese characters can only be a failed work if they only pursue the picture effect and ignore the intention in the picture.

Third, surrealism photography school.

The characteristic of this school is to deal with people's subconscious inspiration and illusion through technical means, and then produce some incredible and even absurd plot effects.

Surrealism art originated from the Surrealism Manifesto published by French writer André Breton in 1924. In this manifesto, he wrote: "Surrealism is a purely mental unconscious activity of human beings. People can express this real thought process orally, in writing or in other ways-the free activity of thought, without any rational control and without any aesthetic and moral prejudice. " Therefore, the philosophical basis of this art school is henri bergson's intuitionism and Freud's psychoanalysis. In their view, people's truest feelings can only be found in the subconscious and dreams. Therefore, people's subconscious activities, sudden inspiration, psychopathy and dream world are the vast world where all arts gallop.

Fourth, pure photography.

The characteristics of this expression method are: using the advantages and characteristics of photography itself and using pure photography technology to seek the beauty and clarity of the picture, the richness of levels and the subtle changes of light and shadow. For example, the level of the picture, such as the surface texture of the material, requires exquisiteness. Dark bits cannot be dead black, and high bits have no hierarchy.
