Documentary photography review

Many photographers have said that documentary photography creation, in addition to emphasizing truth, is also a process of expressing feelings and pouring feelings. How to take emotional documentary photos? In this issue, I will give you a comment. The following are my comments on documentary photography, hoping to help everyone!

Documentary photography review

Works: Time flies, leaving only memories.

Author: luck

Comments: The success of the picture lies in the good use of the dynamic blur effect, black and white tones, old and simple barber shop scenes, dim lighting, and two elderly people over 60 years old, which makes the years feel slipping away quietly between their fingers. The author's shooting and expression techniques are very good and thoughtful.

Engineering: ship dismantling

Author: Ideal

Comments: In a complicated and harsh working environment, a simple smile represents an optimistic work and life. The combination of the hard background and the softness of human nature just shows the true meaning of life. It is suggested that the lens performance should not be too straightforward, and give the picture some "connotation" and imagination space. Just like a face full of tears, it is far from a face that hides its face and cries.

Works: It looks beautiful.

Author: stamping heart

Comments: The theme of the work fits well with the capture of the picture. This is a picture full of warmth and love from life. Black and white harmonious and quiet scene, quietly, properly shows the depth and massiness of father's love.

Works: Son of the Sea

Author: Kurome

Comments: The tone and space are very good. The line of heaven and earth echoes each other. People with different distances and a winding path break the balance of the picture, adding a lot of color to the sense of space, and the content of the picture is also full of strong life breath. Experienced in expression, strong in composition and snapshot. It would be more perfect if we could add more lens language and pictures that can make people feel some associations!

Works: overlapping images-recording old streets and teahouses that have passed away and are about to pass away.

Author: Ba Soul Spirit

Comments: The author makes good use of multiple exposures to show the dying old streets and teahouses, which really gives us a feeling of being swayed by considerations of gain and loss in the torrent of time. In fact, history is overlapping, and there may be an unknown history and traces buried under modern high-rise buildings, not to mention those seemingly familiar historical life scenes that cannot be reproduced. The overlapping pictures are complex but not chaotic, and the theme content is prominent.

Childhood swing

Author: children

Comments: The author uses a plain shooting angle and expression technique, but the seemingly plain expression technique has won the resonance of the public: people can't help but think of carefree childhood and lonely swings. The hue is slightly yellow, but slightly dark. If the first and last photos of the whole group are put together, the separation of time and space and the rendering of color tones will be more infectious.

Documentary photography review

Comments: Black and white low-key, a heavy feeling, which is the overall atmosphere of the work. The theme of the first work is a delicate-looking child, but there is a kind of sadness in her eyes, a kind of sadness that should not belong to a child of this age, and holding her is a rescuer's helmet, which shows that the creative background of this work was shot at the scene of the disaster. The element of hand also appeared in the second painting. The difference is that these are the hands of two weather-beaten old people. Wrinkles and gullies on the hands, including broken nails, indicate that these two hands have experienced various kinds of work. In order to make a living, these two hands look older and more vicissitudes.

Moreover, it is obviously the hands of two old ladies. You can tell by the silver ornaments on their wrists. The concrete floor under their feet also exposed their living environment, which was dark and damp. The water stains on the ground are still faintly visible. The cracks in the floor keep pouring out moisture. There are many black elements on the old people's hands, and their nails are polished and even bruised, indicating that they are engaged in jobs that have nothing to do with their brains, that is, manual labor, or digging coal in coal yards, or sorting out minerals. In a word, this is a labor-intensive job. Both works are talked about. The first picture is about children, and the second picture is about old people. Their hands reveal a message that no matter what era, there are factors that threaten human survival. Whether this factor is sudden (the first picture) or gradual (the second picture of long-term unhealthy work).
