An Analysis of the Photography "Hungry Sudan"

The composition of this photo is a common dichotomy (the composition method of the word "well"), and the raptor and the little girl are located at the upper left point and the lower right point of the four intersections of the word "well" respectively; The empty environment makes the two subjects more prominent, but a powerful raptor and a weak child who should not be together appear in one picture. The strength of birds and the weakness of children have formed a great contrast with people's normal thinking, giving people a stronger visual impact and ideological impact. Color is the imaging effect of ordinary color film, and there is basically no post-processing; Under the strong sunlight at noon, coupled with the empty and barren environment, the drought in Africa at that time was highlighted (this period is usually avoided when shooting unless necessary).

Therefore, the technical content of this photo is not high, just some basic techniques (but the basic skills are solid), and it is a snapshot. The key to winning the prize is not the shooting level of the photo, but the information it contains, which gives people a shocking feeling and highlights the great famine in Sudan.
