Henri-Cartier-Bresson
Experience: You should practice more in everything, so should photography. Did you know that David Beckham, a football prodigy, shoots at least 1 times a day? Go out and shoot!
2. If your photos are not good enough, it means that you are not close enough. "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're
not close enough."-Robert Capa
Experience: Capa is a well-known war photographer. He really needs to be close to the shells to take wonderful photos, but now we don't have to fight with our lives. For modern photography, This sentence does not mean that the physical distance is not close enough, but the experience of the mind. If you can't integrate into the current environment, your mind can't get close to the environment you want to shoot, that is, the object, and naturally you can't take a good photo. Oh, yes, Capa is too close and finally steps on a mine and dies.
3. The most important component of the camera is that thing twelve inches behind it. "The single most important component of a
camera is the twenty inches behind it."-Ansel ADAMS
Experience: It means that your head, the camera itself is not the most important, but if the photographer thinks and watches the subject he wants to shoot.
4. If I see something I feel familiar with through the viewing window, I will try to see it again from a different point of view. "If I saw something in my
view finder that looked familiar to me, I would do something to shake it up."
-Gary Winogrand
Experience: This sentence is a famous saying of street photography. How to reinterpret people and things you are familiar with from different angles is the essence of street photography. The so-called mountain is not a mountain, and water is not water, alas ... realm!
5. The best camera is the one that is by your side when you need it. "The best camera is the one that is with you"
-Chase Jarvis
Experience: Yes, yes.
6. The best camera is the one you left at home. "The best camera is the one that you left at
home."-Zackarias' old stupid manager
Experience: This sentence sounds like an irony, but when it comes to my heart ... I often want to take pictures without a camera, but now I have an iPhone.
7. Everyone has a chance to make a great work. I am better because I made two. "Everyone will take one great
picture, I've done better because I've taken two."-David Bailey
Experience: So? What are you talking about?
8. Don't rely on your eyes when your imagination can't concentrate. "You can't depend on your eyes if you
imagine is out of focus"-Mark
Twain
Experience: Even Mark Twain has to say something, which should mean that when your imagination can't focus, you should think carefully about the people and things you see, because your eyes may be empty and you can't see them creatively.
9. A good photo is knowing where to wait. "a good photography is knowing where to stand"
-Ansel ADAMS
Experience: Time and place are very important in street photography, which is why Bresson said that street photography is not only the art of "looking for" pictures, but also the art of "waiting", waiting for the right picture at the right place and pressing the shutter.
1. A real photographic work needs no explanation in words, and it can't be explained in words. "a true photograph needs not be
explained nor can it be contained in words"-Ansel ADAMS
Experience: Indeed, the first reaction to seeing a photo is very fast heartbeat, palpitation and emotional reaction, and then you will try to express your feelings in some words. In fact, many times you just need to feel and enjoy the feeling brought by a photographic work, and you don't have to use words or words.
11. The most difficult thing for me is portrait photography. You must put the camera between a person's skin and his clothes. “The most difficult thing
for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a
person and his shirt” -Henri-Cateir-B Resson
Experience: This sentence means that in portrait photography, you must try to see through a person, so that you can chew on words ...
12.
Think before and after photography, and never think at the moment of photography. The secret of street photography is to slow down. The speed should not be too fast. The subject you shoot must be invisible to you. And you have to be fast.
“Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take
your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, how
ever, You must be very quick. "-Henri-Cateeir-Bresson
Experience: Street photography really tries not to let the subject find out that you are shooting them, and before shooting, think about the composition, wait, let the picture come to you, and press the shutter quickly when it is right. Bresson spent most of his time in street photography waiting for the appearance of the picture somewhere, instead of always taking the initiative to explore it.
13. If you can smell street photography when looking at photos, it is street photography. "If you can smell the street by
looking at the photo, it's a street photography"-Bruce Gilden
Experience: We describe a person as "delicious", which means that he has a certain temperament that is attractive except that he may have body odor. Bruce
Gilden said this sentence means that if your photos can clearly convey "street tension", it is street photography. What is street tension? This can only be expressed in words, so look at street photography more.
14. All photos are propaganda. "All Photography is Propaganda"-Martin Parr
Experience: Yes, there is nothing to say about promoting the photographer's point of view.
15. I finally understand photography, and now I can kill myself, because there is nothing to learn. "I have discovered photography.
Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn."-Picasso
Experience: You don't have to say that, Brother Bi, although recording a picture will be tens of thousands of times faster than painting, the brushstrokes and abstract drawing of painting are still beyond photography. You can continue painting.
16. If you can keep calm, you will get everything. "If you keep your cool, you'll get everything"
-Elliott Witt
Experience: The most important thing in street photography is to keep calm and observe calmly. Don't grab the picture in a hurry, don't look around like a headless fly, try to wait in one place. Keeping calm and clear-headed can help you observe more clearly and know when to press the shutter.
17. A good photo lies in the depth of emotion, not the depth of field. "Great photography is about depth of feeling, not
depth of field"-Peter Adams
Experience: Many people will say, "Wow, what a beautiful photo." Anyone who turns up the aperture with an F/.95 lens can take a cream-melting background, but the really good photo lies in the story and emotion, not just on the eternal background.
18. Many times the simplest photos are the most difficult to take. "Some times the simple picture is the hardest
to get"-Neil Leifer
Experience: I think of this sentence. Bresson said that portrait photography seems simple, and the subject can sit well for you to shoot, and if it is not good, you can retake it, which will make you happy, but it is almost impossible for you to capture his soul and let the people who look at it see through him.
19. You asked me which photo I like best? The one I want to take tomorrow. “Which of my photographs is my
favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow. "-Imogen Cunningham
Experience: There is no best, only better, keep shooting! (Then I won't put your work on my side, Mr. Cunnigham. Let's wait until you finish shooting tomorrow. Oh, you may say that you have to wait for the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will say that you have to wait for the day after tomorrow, and then come to me when you think about it ...)
2. Photography has nothing to do with what you see, but how you watch it. "It's not what you look at that
matters, it's what you see."-Henry David Thoreau
Experience: A good street photographer can see different wonderful things from different angles in daily life. The so-called mountain is not a mountain, water is not water, realm ... Has this sentence been used before?
21. My life is formed by the sense of urgency to look around constantly, and the camera is my passport. "My life is shaped by the
urgent need to wonder and observe, and my camera is my passport."-Steve
McCurry
Experience: This is the so-called passion for photography ... the sense of urgency when you often see some pictures.
22. I keep chasing light, and light can turn ordinary things into magic. "I am forever chasing light. light turns the
orderly into the magical"-Trent Park
Experience: "light" is the most important element in photography, and without light, nothing can be done. A great part of street photography is the diversified light provided by the street. Although it is troublesome to constantly adjust ISO,
aperture and shutter, it also provides street photographers.
23. My camera is just like my toothbrush. It does what it should do, that is, it takes pictures. "I only use a camera like I use a
toothbrush. it does the job."-Don McCullin
Experience: Otherwise, like Stephen Chow's folding stool, can it be used as a weapon besides sitting? What's the point of not taking pictures with a camera? Of course, it is also possible that he has feelings for many cameras that can shoot movies now. He may think that the camera is to take pictures instead of making movies.
24. Don't put the camera away unless you want to leave the shooting scene. "Don't pack up your camera until you've left
the location"-Joe McNally
Experience: I have such a feeling about this sentence that I often feel that I have finished shooting, so I put away my camera and go back, but I don't have time to take it out when I see many great pictures on my way back. Unless you really don't want to shoot, please don't put it away, because it's time for you to walk into the house.
25. I am a tourist. "I'm a tourist"-Gary Winogrand
Experience: When tourists go to a new place, they usually take pictures of everything, including the steps in front of their houses, telephone booths, signboards, road signs, passers-by and traffic lights. Everything looks novel, and the street.
