——Inspirational quotes from Jane Cocteau Photography 3
1. This is a God-given opportunity, and we are part of the change, and each of us feels it. Some people are happy and have happy families, but there are also people who are poor and dissatisfied. These can be reflected through your images and words. This is the richness of the times.
2. A person’s need to see more is also related to his own knowledge structure. A person's knowledge, education, or some of his specialties can help him understand the image in front of him more and more deeply.
3. However, photos with meanings should be taken with a sense of proportion. Nowadays, many people who engage in contemporary photography always advertise themselves as "avant-garde" and "cutting-edge", but people cannot understand the meanings in the photos at all. . Therefore, those of us who do documentary photography, especially cannot be solitary and self-admiring.
4. Some people enjoy photography. They enjoy the process of taking pictures and post them in their circle of friends after taking the pictures. The purpose of commercial photographers taking pictures is to sell the pictures. News documentary photography should tell people the truth. Everyone has his own mission to take pictures, but he doesn’t necessarily use the word “mission”.
5. We all hold the same camera, and everyone looks the same, but the photos they take are different. What's the difference? How do you make your photos different from others’? Your eyes are very important. What you see will be what happens in the end; what you think in your heart will be what kind of photos you take in the end.
6. I also discovered that how many things a person can see is related to his courage. Society is complex and diverse. There are many things happening in this world, and some people really don’t know about it; some people are afraid of causing trouble and are unwilling to face it through the lens. It’s not that they haven’t seen it, they are just pretending to be deaf and dumb. , avoid seeing.
7. You can also use multiple photos to connect. Thematic photography is essentially about connection, connecting images from different time and space through linear or divergent thinking. Connection is not just a continuation of the same thing. It may be opposition, alienation, imagination, or similarity in appearance and difference in content... Connections can be diverse and all-round. In the final analysis, connection is to assemble and superimpose each photo in the ideological dimension to illustrate a problem. This is a great approach for documentary photography.
8. The times are turbulent on the surface, but there are also undercurrents surging deep down. As long as there are changes and problems, they are within the creative scope of documentary photography. Documentary photography is not only for nostalgia, but at the same time of dissemination, it can also send a positive warning to society, which can play a role in the development and progress of society to some extent.
9. When taking pictures, you must first see it, and then you can take it. But is the so-called doorway just seeing? Not really. The eyes cannot reach everything we "see". We see a lot, but not all of it is through our eyes. Some of it is seen with our thoughts.
10. The second one is poetry. What is poetry? Poetry is a person's feeling about the scene in front of him, and it is a kind of personal expression of emotion. Poetic photos are completely artistic and emotional, and have no necessary connection with the subjects being photographed. However, poetic photos also have practical significance in the context of modern photography. It has a sense of poetry and is also an effective way to give our photos a different flavor.
11. I have been a reporter for more than 30 years. Most of my energy and interest are in news and documentary, especially recording the changes in Shanghai over the past few decades. My photos are all "fragments", but when I put them back together and look at them again, I can not only appreciate the light and shadow, but more importantly, I can follow the pulse of the city of Shanghai and return to it. Go into the time tunnel and see how our city and its people have come through.
12. The simplest, first is to record some things and describe some things. Second, documentary photos require active participation in society and active observation, rather than just passively recording what you see. Photographers are like sentries standing guard, taking the initiative to observe any clues in the distance or near. Third, photos themselves have the property of recording, and “documentality” is a major difference between photography and other art categories.
13. A true photographer is as rare as a true poet or a true painter.
14. There is a sentence in Love's poem: History is sleeping, and time is awake; the world is sleeping, and you are awake. As documentary photographers, we must not fall asleep when faced with such a wonderful world. Pick up the camera and let us capture the wonders of the world in colorful forms.
15. From my personal point of view, there are four aspects that can add some flavor to the photos taken: rhythm, poetry, meaning, and connection.
16. In addition to poetry, rhythm, and meaning, what is more important is connection. Connecting is also my most common method. The connection here is actually not 1+1+1 in mathematics, but 1+1+1 in chemistry. It may develop into an "explosion", an explosion of information content. Connection can break the limitations of space and time, and everyone's processing method is different, which can make your photos unique.
17. The other one is the moral. What’s the moral? This picture is not only beautiful to look at, but we also give it a certain meaning. This can be called understanding from a subtle point of view, or it can be called drawing inferences from one instance. Just like when we name a company or name a person, there is always some meaning in it.
18. However, there is a misunderstanding in our photography circle. We think that documentary photography is about photographing old, dirty, old and broken things. In fact, this is not necessarily the case. Which old man has never been young? What old and disappearing thing was not originally born as a new thing? Therefore, documentary photos must of course capture things that are about to disappear, but we should not forget the things that have just appeared in front of us, because this era is changing so fast, and many things will quietly disappear when we are not aware of it.
19. The era we live in now is a once-in-a-lifetime era for documentary photographers. As long as you persevere, you can take photos of the pulse and changes of the entire city in twenty or thirty years.
22. So what exactly does documentary photography cover?
23. For documentary photography, it is important to convey your observations and the focus of your sight through images, and convey your thoughts and concerns. This is the most critical. The foundation of documentary photography is the language of photography, but the final destination is its connotation.
24. What is “mission”? That is, everyone always has a purpose when taking photos.
25. For example, I once went to the rooftop with some photography friends to take pictures. In the same time and space, some people are more interested in the scenery, while others are more interested in the old city under the building and the busy traffic on the streets. In the same time and space, why do some people see it but others don't see it or take pictures? Because the people photographed are interested, they are willing to look more and think more. So, we still have to follow our hearts. Your original intention can allow you to see more things that others cannot see.
26. Let’s talk about rhythm first. Rhythm is the sense of rhythm and layering in photos, just like the rhythm in music and the rhyme in poetry. Many people take photos with a long lens and a short lens, sometimes waiting for a person to come over, sometimes waiting for a group of people to pass by. In fact, these are more or less looking for a rhythm and a sense of hierarchy.
