Curved direct view(Google Translation)
"What is this world like?" Everyone must have a different answer.、Get answers using countless photos in front of the questioner。of course、This is the way photos provide us。Before the invention of photography、People are a language to describe the world、article、Sculpture、I could only use indirect means such as painting。The invention of photography provides the technology to directly copy the "world"。This technology、To save past phenomena、Is to save human visual objects directly in a 2D image.。This original copy technology、It seems to fill the difference in the depiction of people's world。However,、The history of direct photography development、For viewing by all photographers、Different perspectives、emotion、Unforeseen circumstances、And shows that there are different viewing methods。These differences、When we see the world through images、Show us different attitudes and different souls、The world looks more diverse and wonderful from a photographic point of view。
Because Japanese culture is a neighboring country of China、Influenced not only by Chinese culture but also by Western culture、It also has a unique cultural trace and human style in terms of photographic culture.。In the golden age of Japanese photography、Providing many outstanding photographers and photographic works to the world、Established a complete photography system。This will、Japanese photography is the only one in the world、Inspired the perception of photographic culture。A new generation of Japanese photographers、Modern thought and thought、Humanities、Under the influence of social science、I let go of my obsession with photography for photography。Their vision is broader、Photographs are more socially recognized、Introspective and independent。The expression style of photographic works is diverse and subtle。In the artistic temperament of the work、Some are introverted and stubborn、Some are obvious and distant。Relaxed and wild、It's like a series of portraits of Japanese social characters。
Similarly、Contemporary Chinese photography、Whether it's building an idealistic system or creating a photographic work、Overcoming the barrier between practicalism and aesthetic form、First completed the leap of modernity。With the help of great economic development、Chinese photographic culture has achieved unprecedented prosperity、Established a relatively independent and complete feature of photo discourse。Today's Chinese photographers have a strong cultural consciousness、Photographs are society、nation、history、It ’s more connected to reality.、The intersections with the world are more dense、The attitude of looking at the world is getting stronger。calm down。Many Chinese photographers facing the cultural trend of bread fast food、Still supporting the spirit of humanitarianism、Adopt a strict photographic attitude、Integrate unique display methods and value judgments throughout the shutter press process、Discover and take pictures with your eyes Modern Chinese story。
today、Summarizing the works of Chinese and Japanese photographers、Through the various display methods offered by photographers from both countries、Understanding the world from multiple angles、I aim to be able to interpret。at the same time、Through the different cultural backgrounds and ideas of the photographer、Exploring differences in the interpretation of social topics from the photographer's personal perspective under direct photography、Gain a more comprehensive and diverse understanding and understanding of the world。Society and self-awareness、This is also a visual solution for cross-cultural communication provided by photography。
