Speak from experience

On Group Photography and Theme Photography

When it comes to group photography and thematic photography, we must first clarify two concepts: one is documentary thematic photography (hereinafter referred to as thematic photography); First, artistic photography group photo (hereinafter referred to as group photo). The difference between the two is that the former is dominant.

In order to convey the morphological information of the event, it is necessary to summarize the background and theme of the event in words; Art group photos mainly convey the artistic information of the object and express the theme in visual artistic language, so they pay more attention to the artistic content of each work. What they have in common is that they all use multiple works to explain a theme. In recent years, I have been fortunate to participate in some film festivals and competitions. I often see more and more manuscripts submitted by film friends for special topics or group photos, which shows that everyone likes special topics and group photos, which is a good thing. Theme photography or group photography is an exercise to improve the quality of personal photography. It has more links than shooting a single work and needs to be conceived and arranged. If it is documentary photography, you also need to write articles. However, from many monographs, I feel it is necessary to find out what special topics and group photos are and why they should be used to express the theme.

It is true that both thematic photography and art group photography are aimed at deepening the theme and achieving the purpose of better expressing the theme. When the information content of a single work is not enough to express the theme, it is necessary to use many aspects to express and deepen the theme, which leads to special topics or group photos.

To find out the meaning of a special topic or a group photo, it is suggested to pay attention to the following aspects when shooting a special topic or a group photo: First, the content of a special topic or a group photo, each work expresses one side of the theme, and there should be internal relations between them. Therefore, the content of each work of a special topic or group photo cannot be repeated; From the requirements of visual effect, the composition of each photo should not be the same. Make up a special project, don't list it together. Some photographers think that taking more photos at the shooting site and putting them together will form a group photo or special topic. This view, in my opinion, is a misunderstanding.

A few photos together look lively at first glance, but when you look closely, there is nothing. Several photos are actually the same content, and their expressions are similar. There is no need to express them in the form of group photos or special topics. The second is the expression of the theme group photo. Generally speaking, it is determined by subject matter and content, and the diversity of photographic subject matter determines the richness of expression, which is no different from a single work. Colorful forms of expression can better show the artistic charm of theme group photos, so that they will not be the same.

In addition, a photography theme, especially an art group photo, should be unified as far as possible, showing a sense of coordination and style; Thirdly, the structure of thematic photography, the four expressions around the theme should be close-ups of local descriptions, and the middle scene or the echo of the scene generalization will often produce better visual vitality; However, the photography of art troupes mostly adopts a unified tone and composition style. In short, a topic or group photo is not a pile of photos, but a series of photos with clear themes, clear levels and clear context. It should be concise and not procrastinating. Therefore, for a special photo, you can use three works to illustrate the theme, but you don't need four, you can use five, and never use six. In line with the principle of clear theme, we should not drag our feet.

To improve the quality of special topics, I think we should focus on two aspects: first, the information content of special topics, which exists in the plots and details that represent the essence of things, is the soul of special photography and needs the author to observe, refine and explore. We say that writing articles is to impress people by plots and details, and so is thematic photography. Only in this way can the topic be expressive. Second, the pursuit of visual effects can give people a brand-new visual effect, which is the other half of the success of the theme photo. Therefore, it is very important to mobilize all artistic means to take every photo well, and every effort will be rewarded.

In a few words, it is really difficult to understand topic group photography. If we discuss it as a problem, many film friends will have more pen and ink and be more talkative. Let's just say a few words here.
