Photography art aesthetics

With people's higher and higher requirements for spiritual and cultural life, photography is not only a simple activity, but also a creative and artistic aesthetic art. Let me introduce the aesthetics in photography to you.

In modern society, people often express or vent their inner feelings and cognition through the art of photography, and discover and create the beauty of photography with a unique aesthetic perspective and the application of aesthetic principles, which has a unique interpretation of the aesthetic perspective of photography consciousness.

Firstly, the aesthetic perspective in photography is summarized.

The traditional perspective refers to the general situation when the human eye observes an object. The angle of view in photography refers to the angle formed by the size of the lens field of view, which is determined by the length of the lens focal length and the pixel size, and is essentially different from the human angle of view. The creation of the artistic value of photography is inseparable from the aesthetic characteristics, that is to say, the aesthetic perspective of photography actually refers to the activities that photographers discover and create the beauty of photography from the aesthetic field with the help of photographic equipment based on the accumulation of daily life and their own aesthetic accomplishment.

Second, the aesthetic characteristics of photography art

Photography, like other art categories, has traditional aesthetic characteristics, but it also has special aesthetic characteristics different from other art categories. Relatively speaking, photography also includes the aesthetic category of visual plastic arts.

(A) photography technology is documentary.

The documentary nature of photography is one of its main characteristics. Documentary photography is like a historical mirror, recording all aspects of real life. Most of the photographic works we come into contact with in our daily life belong to the documentary category. Many people think that documentary photography is only a concrete reflection of real life and has no aesthetic value at all, and that aesthetics is something that cannot be seen or touched. But in fact, beauty is a visible and concrete image. Photographers record real life by integrating their own aesthetic quality and artistic beauty into their photographic works and respecting objective facts. Rene, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Close-up Photography in 2007? Bayer recorded a group of photos of a single mother and her son tortured by the disease, which truly recorded the dribs and drabs of a single mother helping her son fight the disease. Every photo makes people feel pity and moved, touched the greatness of maternal love, pitied the passing of young life, and inspired every viewer mentally. This is the aesthetic and artistic value of documentary photography.

(2) Photography technology has the characteristics of images.

Photography is documentary, which is expressed by photographic images. Video documentary is a special visual language, which transcends the limitations of time and space. The image performance of photography gives people a visual impact. A good photographic work, in addition to the photographer's modern photographic equipment, perfect composition and novel creative perspective, will make the photographic work more vivid.

Third, the embodiment of the aesthetic perspective of photography.

(A) the artistic beauty of photographic works

Artistic conception belongs to the category of classical aesthetics. The beauty of artistic conception of photographic works is understood through the sense of picture and the connotation behind it, which makes the appreciator have psychological feelings through the association and imagination of photographic works. Different photographic works have different artistic conception, which is more about the photographer's expression of his own feelings and his unique aesthetic perspective on objective things. The artistic conception of a photographic work can be a landscape or a documentary of real life. For example, documentary photography "Over the Berlin Wall" recorded the escape of some young people in East Germany before the Berlin Wall was demolished. By recording the expressions and actions of several young people in East Germany and the slogans on the Berlin Wall, the work describes the artistic conception of young people's adventure and hope for happiness.

(B) the beauty of the content of photographic works

The connotation of photographic works is the embodiment of the photographer's inner feelings and personal basic literacy. The cultural connotation, aesthetic perspective and artistic appreciation charm of photographic works are the embodiment of the author's aesthetic and cultural accomplishment. The expression of photographic works can not be separated from the use of basic elements such as composition, form, light and color tone. Photographers express their feelings through their unique aesthetic perspective and proper use of these basic elements. Rich photographic works can bring spiritual enjoyment and psychological pleasure to the viewer, and can make the viewer feel emotional. For example, in many photographic works reflecting the cultural life in ethnic minority areas, the author often conveys the unique spiritual culture of ethnic minorities through composition and the use of light and color, and sets off the mysterious atmosphere through the clever use of light, thus arousing the association and yearning of the appreciators.

(C) the formal beauty of photographic works

The formal beauty of photographic works is the beauty produced by the combination of free form and its constituent form, and it is the unity of content and form. The content and form in photographic works complement each other and are indispensable. Photographic works with aesthetic value often convey what they want to express through external forms. Photographers reflect their inner feelings through the expression of lines, lights, colors and other photographic language forms. The creative process of their photographic works is essentially to express their feelings about objective things in the lens from the author's unique aesthetic perspective. In this process, different photographers' cognition and expression of things are different, which mainly depends on the photographer's aesthetic quality and life accumulation.

The beauty of photography.

The artistic modeling of photographic works is the author's overall expression of the modeling relationship between objective things in space and form. Light and shadow are the soul of photographic works, and the popular light and shadow technology in photographic works will be the special artistic effect formed by light in photographic works and the overall modeling beauty formed by the combination of objective things. It should be noted that what the author wants to pursue is a photographic work that combines light with objective things, and he does not need to master certain principles of light and shadow and angle change. Moreover, the exposure time of photographic works is the perspective that photography strives to pursue. Shooting and recording things that change instantly through extremely high shutter speed, the instantaneous change of such things is fleeting, and it is difficult for our human eyes to observe. The most classic work is Harold? Dr. Ajett captured the moment when the apple was penetrated by a bullet, which brought a strong visual impact.

Four. conclusion

Photography originates from life, but its aesthetic value is higher than life, and more is the artistic sublimation of beauty in life. With the help of photography means and technology, photography art discovers and creates the beauty of photography with its unique aesthetic perspective. A photographic work with aesthetic value not only embodies the photographer's superb aesthetic perspective, but also has enduring artistic value charm. Therefore, if photographers want to create works with unique aesthetic value, they need to practice and innovate boldly from the aesthetic point of view.
