The Application of Shooting Techniques in Humanistic Documentary

Introduction: I once said that "photography is a true record". So, what elements does "humanistic photography", another popular theme in the field of photography, contain? With ten years of photography experience, to talk about this theme may be a bit like "playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong" for many predecessors. Therefore, ten aspects choose to sum up all the themes I often shoot, such as "social record", "local people's feelings", "temple fairs and festivals" and "street photography" in this chapter. To put it simply, humanistic photography can be roughly divided into "suddenness" and "regularity". The so-called "suddenness" means: "all kinds of unexpected events, street photos, realistic notes, etc. that are not deliberately arranged." The so-called "regularity" means: "there are certain tracks to follow, mostly predictable festivals, activities, seasonal themes, portrait photography, etc." The shooting technique of humanistic documentary is used

The "Loneliness in Toucheng" is a grand event of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Yilan, and the event is held on the last day of the seventh lunar month every year. The form of the competition has been roughly the same for many years, so it belongs to the theme that can be planned in advance. On the way to southern Xinjiang, I met a market in a small village. I quickly stopped by the roadside to shoot and used two cameras and two mirrors to shoot flexibly.

In previous years, the first city of Yilan was held in Wushi Port on the last day of the seventh lunar month; The orphan robbery in Pingtung is held in Hengchun on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month every year, so don't make a mistake about the time and place. Safety helmet, towel, tripod, protective cover? Do you know what kind of subject to shoot in ten faces? That's right! It is the important celebration of the Lantern Festival, the "salt water bee cannon".

As representative as "South Bee Gun", it is the "Northern Sky Lantern". There are actually several events in Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival every year. During the Lantern Festival in previous years, there will be at least three theme spots (events) to shoot, namely Jingtong Station (Jingtong Elementary School), Pingxi Station (Pingxi Junior High School) and Ten Stations (Pingxi Junior High School).
