The significance of the emergence of the early photographic genre

The significance of the photographic genre is to increase the beauty of photographic emotion, artistic conception and form.

Seek "beauty" in the common. Using close-up photography, close-up and other techniques, the subject is "separated" from the whole, highlighting a certain detail of the object, and accurately and faithfully depicting its surface structure, so as to achieve a dazzling visual effect. Ignoring the fact that the essence of art is the essence of the object, its aesthetic ideas belong to the category of naturalism.

In order for photography to have a status in art, photographers must first cultivate aesthetic ability and cultivate artistic accomplishment. Therefore, its historical merit is to guide photography from the initial mechanical copying of objects to the field of plastic arts, and promote the development of photographic art.

The genre of realism focuses on the documentary nature of photography. Photographers adhere to the principle of creating similarities that reproduce social life and natural landscapes, and do not destroy natural landscapes when shooting, so as to take natural and realistic images. This technique has a greater cognitive and educational effect on things than the aesthetic effect of art, and the appeal and documentary nature of the work are greater than the appreciation, so it is commonly used in news photography or military photography.

The genre of painting pursues the interest of painting, and standardizes the creation of photography based on the principle of painting modeling, and the development of this genre is divided into two stages. One is the painting school, which emphasizes the rigorous structure and exquisite layout of the picture, and the picture should be carefully arranged and processed by the photographer to achieve the effect of "poetic and picturesque"; The second is the painting school, which strives for the "poetic and picturesque" in real life, requiring beauty to be natural and beautiful without being pretentious.

The naturalistic school advocates the most direct and primitive feeling of nature, and this school puts forward the slogan "return to nature". They require the subject matter to be real and natural, rather than deliberately designing and arranging the scene. They believe that only works that are close to nature are the highest art.

Pictorial photography, an early photographic genre. It is a general term for the various schools of pictorial photography, referred to as pictorial photography. In the early days of photography, in terms of artistic expression, due to the lack of self-fiber and sensitive language, more borrowing from painting gave rise to pictorial photography.

Introduction to pictorial photography

The pictorial photography movement began with high-art photography that emerged from England in the 50s of the 19th century. High art photography arose out of the dispute over whether photography is art and the struggle to gain artistic status for photography. It is characterized by the use of the rules and principles of painting and the techniques of photography to create painting effects.

Representative figures: Rayland, Robinson, Priss and Cameron in the UK. In the 80s of the 19th century, realistic photography against high-art photography appeared in Britain, and it was called naturalistic photography because of Emerson's famous book "Naturalistic Photography".
