Analysis of the little girl with big eyes in Hope Project from the perspective of photography

In this excellent photo, in addition to the shallow depth of field, the photographer also used an effective shooting technique to highlight the subject and eliminate other distractions, that is, shooting with a telephoto lens. As we all know, telephoto lens will produce some image distortion, but it will not produce distortion, and restore the real and natural character image. More importantly, it has the characteristics of small viewing angle, which also pushes the reader's line of sight to the subject impeccably.

This is a low-key photo with large light ratio and strong contrast. Here, it is easier to show the character and characteristics of the characters, and it also makes the little girl's thirst for knowledge clearer and clearer, and makes the little girl's heart stronger. At the same time, it constantly stimulates and inspires us. How much action, effort and sweat we have to put into the burning hope in our hearts, but I believe that we will stick to it, just like the little girl in the picture, no.

The photographer's flat shooting angle makes the viewer feel a kind of approachable intimacy, as if the reader is in the scene at this time, which successfully narrows the distance between the reader and the little girl in the picture, and also narrows the distance between the hearts, making an inestimable contribution to the viewer's understanding of the deep meaning of the picture, and making us clearly understand how we should face knowledge, the future and ourselves.

Expand the material to change the fate of poor children with their own photos. The famous photographer Jie Hailong's masterpiece "Hope Big Eyes Project" has fully explained this point. This personal photo collection "I Want to Go to School", which won the special contribution award of China Press Photography Society, makes people feel the great impact and appeal brought by photography. This is the photographic power of Jie Hailong.

Jie Hailong's photography practice of Project Hope provides a new possibility for people to understand the social function of photography from many aspects. When he introduced his documentary photography, he said: When he began to hope for documentary photography, there were "nearly 200 million illiterates" in the mainland of China, while "there were as many as 4 million students lost in remote areas every year, among which one quarter of them dropped out of school because of poverty." Faced with such a harsh reality, Jie Hailong spent ten years, starting from 1990, traveling more than 20,000 kilometers, visiting 128 counties in 26 provinces of China, contacting tens of thousands of children in more than 100 schools and taking tens of thousands of photos. He wants to use photos to fight for the right to education for rural children.
