What is the difference between news photography and other photography?

The main differences between news photography and other photography are:

1, with different expressions:

News photography is a form of news reporting, whose purpose is to reveal the significance of news events in time and space as completely, accurately and timely as possible, so as to achieve the effect of affecting social life;

Ordinary photography is generally an artistic expression, and this new way is based on the subjective "deviation" in the process of shooting and making photos. Artists can create their own images and vent their subjective feelings through the choice of objects in shooting and the processing and creation of objects in production, so artistic photography has distinct subjectivity.

2. Different photography concepts:

News photography is usually done through interviews. The so-called interview is to find, discover and record news-worthy events and events in sports social life, including political, economic and cultural activities. In addition to the quality of extensive knowledge in the above fields, the interviewer should also have a calm, objective and sensitive journalist consciousness. Journalists must find news information that is valuable to the whole social life through their own subjective efforts. When shooting news objects, we must capture the most valuable typical moment of the object, which refers to the essence of things and events themselves, rather than the general external appearance of things and events. The capture of typical moments can only strictly respect the natural process and natural characteristics of things and events in time and space. Any subjective interference and manipulation will change the authenticity of the object and distort and change the original specific social significance of the object itself. Journalists can't use artistic thinking to capture and examine news objects.

Because the purpose and function of artistic photography are very different from news photography, its requirements for photographers have just gone to the other extreme, and photographers must get rid of machinery. In creation, the more subjective the photographer is, the more distinctive the personality of the work is and the higher the artistic value of the work is. In creation, the psychological preparation of photographers and journalists is completely different. The reporter examines the meaning of the object with a rational eye and judges the value of the object with a logical method. In the creation of artistic photography, the author, as a perceptual person in real life, faces a rational society and creates with a perceptual personality to vent his life impulse (that is, desire) and reiterate his perceptual self lost in the rational world. Artistic creation is a transcendence of reality, and the purpose of this transcendence is to pursue the free and perfect existence of individual self-life. The artist's creation can not only satisfy his own subjective feelings, but also provide the society with the pleasure of creative inspiration.

About photography;

The word photography comes from the Greek word φ? Phos (light) and γ ρ α φ ι graphics (painting, painting) or γ ρ α φ? Graphê together means "painting with light". Photography refers to the process of recording images with some special equipment. Generally, we take photos with mechanical cameras or digital cameras. Sometimes photography is also called photography, that is, the process of exposing the photosensitive medium by using the light reflected by the object. Someone once said an incisive language: the photographer's ability is to transform the fleeting ordinary things in daily life into immortal visual images.
