Haha, I found it:

"Reflective photography:

Emotional exploration of structure "

Its key word is "seeing with emotion", which is not too much theory, but probably a reflection and sublimation of documentary photography. It's just that reflexive pronouns are used a little more. . Thinking too much is often mean. I'm sorry. Hmm. How interesting

Huh? Is there such a saying? There are too many title parties these days, so if you put a little trick on a set of "theories" that can barely be said, you will pretend to be a pioneer. However, there are still some references, we might as well guess:

The theory of reflexivity comes from the investment philosophy of the famous investment master Soros. Please feel free to read the reference link for details. I think Master Suo just copied the theory of cyclic interaction of Buddhist five connotations (this theory can be found in almost all introductory books of Buddhism). Simply put, if "knowledge" is taken as the starting point, it will act on other links of the world's five aggregates for a period, and then it will act on "knowledge". Starting from the "line", the process is the same.

One of its conclusions is a bit strange and reasonable: there are no "impartial, independent and unaffected" observers in this world, and what you know one moment will change what you know the next, not necessarily the same as what you know now, or even the opposite. The so-called "reflexive photography" may, probably or may be based on this conclusion.

For example, when you see a group of workers working, you want to photograph the "hard scene" of the working people. One of them is so tired that you want to take a picture with him as the focus. When you adjust the focal length and aperture, others find that they can be photographed when they are not working. You may have taken a group of photos of people pretending to drink tea and smoke. This example makes you a little sweaty. You might as well deduce for yourself what the consequences will be if you take pictures of yourself, officials traveling incognito, etc.

I guess "reflexive photography" is only shooting things that have changed because of the consciousness of being photographed, and the reaction of the subject is likely to point to the photographer. For example, a war correspondent filmed a gangster pointing a gun at the camera, and a nude model smiled back at the photographer? Hmm. How interesting

Compared with this boring and vicious speculation about experts and masters, I'd rather "reflexive photography" refers to this:

In order to find an interesting angle, many photographers bend over between their legs and put their cameras behind their hips, which is often very fun.

It's a pity that "masters" often don't like this shallow fun.
