However, I found that when giving a title to a work, one is random, and the other is often troubled, so today I will talk about the title of a photographic work with my own understanding.
Title is an important part of a photographic work and the soul of the picture. It can enhance the expressive force of photographic works
The title and the picture complement each other and restrict each other. The picture is the foundation and the basis of the proposition, while the title is the extension and extension of the image meaning presented by the picture. The picture plays a decisive role in the title, but the reaction of the title to the picture cannot be underestimated.
The title of a photographic work of art should be the finishing touch, not the gilding the lily. Of course, it depends on the picture when making a proposition for a photographic work, but the title of "looking at the picture and talking" is not enough. Absorbing nutrition from various art forms, combining the strengths of many families, and applying them to the proposition of photos can often achieve perfection, unity and touching degree in vividly reflecting life and embodying specific ideological content. For example, learning from the imagination of poetry, the sense of rhythm of music, or borrowing idioms, proverbs, two-part allegorical sayings, dialects, etc., can all receive unique artistic effects.
It is an important way to create a title by repeatedly hammering and refining, improving the generalization ability, and achieving "no words in the topic, but more meaning outside the topic". There are many works with only two or three words in titles, even single-word titles or no-word titles (that is, using symbols and letters as titles), which are very artistic and achieve the finishing touch effect. Of course, the number of words in the title is not as small as possible, as long as it is meaningful, reasonable, affectionate and verbose, it is a good title.
1. Good titles should reflect the truth, goodness and beauty, such as: Gannan, autumn breath is within reach (Lanzhou Laodan), one and five-Gansu bitter children cry for learning! (Flying Swallows in the North), How long will it take to find seclusion in Meiyuan (Great Traveler)
2. A good title requires novelty
New words and new ideas. Grasping the pulse of the times and making creation and naming closely related to the times can create innovative works.
For example, today's landscape is Lanzhou (Oriental Boat), magic beans and magic beans are coming to life ~ (many), and people live in the sun (Siberian tiger)
But don't use vulgar and ambiguous words
3. Good titles should be elegant and subtle
Give those pastoral scenery, birds and flowers, beautiful scenery, waves as a mirror and reflections. Let readers appreciate the meaning and connotation of the works with their own personal experiences and feelings, thus being inspired.
For example, the water town in the dream (spring in the western regions), the golden gate source-the dance of the flower sea (northward), the faint fragrance (ash), and the still life essay "Love you through the winter" (the heartbeat is still)
4. A good title should be humorous and humorous
Questions, revelations, praises and lyricism can be used. Such as: playing a bird of paradise (building a city), African MM dancing for Lanzhou Club (yaya), leisurely walking on Zhangye Road (Confucian scholar), eating books (Du Feng)
5. A good title should be refined, the image should be refined, and the image can arouse the audience's * * * sound, expand their association, and enjoy the beauty of photography at the same time. Some idioms, allusions, famous sayings and epigrams can be used, and at the same time, in order to expand the influence, we should choose loud and beautiful rhymes and tones when choosing words, so as to make people sound pleasant and easy to remember.
such as: filming in Little Lanzhou-reincarnation in front of the temple (Little Lanzhou), locking in this life (many ♂), and meeting with Spring (many ♂)
Try not to use too straightforward words to name the titles:
Such as: novice, please clap a brick, please ask the teacher for advice, learn and so on.
