Artistic conception in landscape photography
Artistic conception is an original classical aesthetic category of China, which first appeared in China's theory of poetry and Chinese painting, and has been widely used now. It can be said that it has become the same aesthetic category of various arts in China. It is the embodiment of the artist's noble personality and the aesthetic ideal pursued by lyric works. The artistic conception in China's photography art is the artistic realm of the photographer's subjective feelings and objective objects and images, as well as the sum of artistic interest, artistic atmosphere, artistic association and fantasy they may cause. In fact, the artistic conception of photography contains the meaning of photographic works, such as the blending of scenes, the coexistence of reality and reality, the long charm and the endless interest.
Artistic conception can fully show its essence in landscape photography. China landscape photographers were moved by the beautiful photos of nature. Mountaineering is very emotional, and watching the sea is also very emotional. Therefore, in artistic creation, we pursue the realm of blending scenes. Artistic conception is the unity of emotion and scenery, meaning and image, and also the unity of nature and mind.
Artistic conception of photography As for other photographic images, the important difference lies in its personality. The artistic conception characteristics of landscape photography are the embodiment of artistic conception characteristics in landscape photography works.
The character of the artistic conception of landscape photography is mainly reflected in four aspects: fate, truth, nature and implication.
Fate is to express the author's subjective feelings and feelings through objective scenery. It is the most important feature of the artistic conception of photography, because the artistic conception is full of photographers' rich feelings, and its purpose is to express feelings. Photographic artists put their feelings in the scenery of their works when they create art. The artistic image in the photo is no longer a purely objective object, but has injected the artist's feelings. Chen Bo, a famous photographer, said: Emotion is the expression of the soul and a great power. With sincere feelings, photographers can overcome all difficulties and gain artistic achievements. Everyone has this kind of experience, and the deep love of feelings will get more perfect and profound artistic gains than accidental fun. People often say? Touching the scene? Scenes blend? Without the author's feelings, no matter how good the scenery is, it is impossible to make poetic works. Although emotion is abstract, it is helpful to shape the artist's image. Vivid artistic image is the crystallization of the artist's most sincere feelings. ?
Truth, as Wang Guowei said? Who can describe the scenery and the true feelings? ,? What you see is true, what you know is deep? . It is the most vivid figure in the artistic conception. Artistic conception requires the truth of emotion first, then the truth of scenery, and the truth of emotion is the essence and the purpose. Photography is the product of the development of modern science and technology, and realistic documentary is one of the aesthetic characteristics of photography. However, to create the artistic conception of photography, the photographer must embody in? Do you know? Based on what? Really? Express sincere feelings, so as to guide the viewer into a broader and infinite artistic realm through the local and limited realistic scene in the mirror.
Nature, that is, there is no carving and no falsehood, and beauty is seen in simplicity. In traditional cultural theory, advocating nature is the fundamental spirit and aesthetic pursuit of China's art and artistic conception. Nature and truth are closely linked. Truth and nature are the basic signs of artistic conception beauty.
Implicit meaning? A scene that is difficult to write, such as in front of you; Meaning is endless, can be seen between the lines? . It embodies the characteristics of China culture and is the basic aesthetic requirement of artistic conception. Yuan, a famous photographer, thinks: Generally speaking, photographic works should be subtle and give people room for imagination in order to be intriguing. What if it is in the taste of the work? One? Looking for what? Yes, that's not interesting enough. Therefore, as a photographic work of art, to make it far-reaching, we must pay attention to the meaning and attach importance to it? Italian craftsman? Is it necessary to do as Du Fu said? You concentrate all your money on a piece of silk? Do it. ? Photos that are included but not displayed are often more intriguing, attractive and artistic than those that are directly displayed.
With the artistic conception of love, truth, nature and implication, we create artistic conception forms such as majestic, magnificent, lofty, ethereal, flying, simple, fantastic and quiet.
? Return to emptiness, accumulate life value and be a hero. Get everything ready and travel through space. Wild oil clouds, less Changfeng. ? This is bold. To create a magnificent artistic conception, we must have a magnificent spirit and cover the whole world; There must be Wang Yang's unrestrained and impassioned feelings; There must be a free and open imagination.
Magnificent, magnificent, grand and open. Compared with boldness, it is more spectacular and more open. So-called? Vast? It just describes the grand artistic conception.
The sublimity of artistic conception needs to start from sublimity. Lofty is looking up. Photographers shoot mountains, buildings and tall trees, which can make them show towering momentum and towering effects on the screen. Sublime is the sublime and lofty artistic conception caused by looking up at photography.
Empty spirit is a kind of artistic conception of emptiness and emptiness, and it is the unity of emptiness and reality, nothingness and existence, stillness and flow. It is mysterious, unpredictable and interesting. If the breeze blows gently, there is no trace, just like a vast space, just out of reach. It pursues lofty realm and transcendental aesthetic taste. Spiritual reality is based on emptiness, and emptiness and spirit blend harmoniously, transcending form, and reaching the wonderful realm of likeness to god until likeness and dissimilarity. Zong Baihua, an aesthetician, called the ethereal artistic conception the spiritual realm and regarded it as the ultimate artistic conception.
Being ethereal means flying, and flying is more ethereal. This is the mystery of China's artistic spirit. Flowers of nature are beautiful because they flow? How touching!
Artistic conception is produced by the unique artistic image of the work that resonates with the audience. Therefore, the creation of artistic conception works in photography is actually the creation of works that can arouse and summon readers and viewers to produce artistic conception. An excellent landscape photography is to integrate the scenery with the environment, atmosphere and phantom in the picture until it is integrated with the author's emotion and implication, so as to achieve the realm of ambiguity between meaning and environment.
Creative skills of landscape works with far-reaching artistic conception
First, the theme selection should be distinctive.
The theory of building socialism with China characteristics has become a great theory. One of the most important points is to highlight the characteristics of China as a landscape photography. Any scenery has its own characteristics, such as the wonder of Mount Tai, the wonder of Mount Huangshan, the danger of Mount Huashan and the beauty of Mount Emei, which are magnificent and dangerous.
Among these general features, we should choose the specific features (such as rocks, pine clouds, etc.) that best reflect this general feature. ), and use all modeling means and personal feelings to carefully show their most beautiful essence. For example, the Great Wall is called the Great Wall of Wan Li, which shows that its length is one of its characteristics, and the Great Wall is also an ancient military fortress, which shows that danger is also one of its characteristics.
The second is to be unique in the choice of pictures.
Photos are for people to see, so the success of a composition determines its quality. Photography is based on objective and concrete real scenes.
Scenery is a dead thing, and it is bound to be limited by objective conditions when composing music. It is impossible for a painter to have enough freedom in composition, but in order to achieve the perfect composition effect as much as possible, photographers can use composition selection and light treatment to make it come alive.
In the general law of composition, we should deal with many factors such as density, balance, contrast and spatial lines, and be good at using the relationship between density, subject and lines, and the relationship between distance and distance to achieve balance in change and enhance the sense of spatial hierarchy and rhythm.
Third, we should find another way to choose the shooting angle.
The so-called angle, including different shooting directions and different shooting heights, will produce different picture structures. With the change of shooting direction and height, the main scene and background scene of close shot and long shot will change, which is very clear to every photographer.
What is rare is that when dealing with the same scene, how not to follow the footsteps of others, be good at and dare to find another way, choose another angle, and shoot refreshing works. This requires taking a difficult road as Mr. Huang Xiang said, seizing the difficult opportunity to find a new angle, preferring to cut through the thorns and leave the road that people often take as much as possible. In order to seize the special atmosphere and fleeting opportunities, it is even more important for Dai Yue to travel through the stars.
Therefore, in the process of creation, the author must be diligent and exercise keen observation, such as photographing the Five Old Peaks in Lushan Mountain. Others photographed the majestic posture of the Five Old Peaks from the front. Why not shoot the danger of the five old peaks from the side? As Su Shi said: From the side of the mountain, there are different heights.
Fourth, there should be originality in the choice of artistic effect.
Photography is a kind of technology, and it becomes an art only because the author endows it with certain emotions in the process of shooting. Therefore, to achieve a certain artistic effect and artistic realm, we must skillfully use photography skills to achieve it.
We can use lenses with various focal lengths and performances to change the perspective relationship of the scene, and we can also use various auxiliary equipment such as color filters, rangefinders, polarizers, darkroom operations, etc. to carry out various reasonable treatments in a clever way to achieve a refreshing artistic effect.
Of course, the so-called originality must follow the principle of reasonable treatment based on the truth of life in order to achieve the real art of the Great Wall Night. It is a good example that people can hardly see the Great Wall at night. The author shows the Great Wall in different ways with flash and color film, which is really refreshing.
Fifth, we should be surprisingly successful in the choice of topics.
People often call works and titles good flowers and need green leaves to support them. A good title will enhance the artistic appeal of the work and extend and strengthen the artistic conception of the work. For landscape photography, the title is a supplement to the content of the work, a means to express the author's feelings, and a good embodiment of the author's comprehensive quality.
