How to express the emotion and imagination of landscape works

Landscape photography, as an art form, is not a mechanical record of the landscape, canvas prints nor is it an objective restoration of the scene, but a unique way of dialogue between man and nature, and the artistic perspective of their own understanding of nature. Technology is only the basis of photography, and only works with artistic appeal can stimulate the emotions and imagination of viewers.

The expression form of photography is to use plane images to express thoughts and emotions, just like writers use words to tell stories, canvas photo prints australia painters use brushes to depict the colors of life, and photographers use cameras to capture the beauty of life and express the emotions in their hearts through artistic creation. Any art form, when mastered the technology, and then go to the depth level, is the subjective expression of people. Photography is full of spirituality only when it carries the human spirit and emotion.

It is difficult for landscape photography to convey a certain emotion directly like the human and portrait subjects. However, when you carefully taste it, you will feel the implied emotion. In fact, the most memorable thing is not the strong emotion, but the half-meaning. Compared with male powerful scenery works, female photographers sometimes express more tenderness and warmth, and can integrate their emotions into their works more delicately. As the only female photographer of aurora, this paper shares my personal understanding of emotional expression of landscape photography.

Emotional expression of color

Color is one of the most expressive elements in visual art and can convey information that cannot be conveyed by many other visual elements. Psychologist thinks, the first feeling of the person is vision, and the biggest to its effect is colour. Colour is the first feeling that enters a vision, can produce the effect that has wallop extremely.

Colour has main effect to psychological activity, have very close relation with the mood especially, can make a person exciting already, can make a person quiet again, still can bring a person joy or halcyon mood. Color affects the state of mind and mood because it comes from the colors of nature, the blue sea, the golden sun, and the green fields and so on. Seeing these colors and associating them with the feelings and experiences associated with these natural objects is the most primitive of influences.

Colour learns to go up according to the influence of color to psychology, color cent is warm color attune, cool color harmonic neuter is tonal. Colorific changes in temperature feeling are people are formed as a result of association in long-term life practice. Red, orange and yellow often remind people of the sun and fire. They have a warm and enthusiastic feeling, so they are called "warm colors". Blue, blue can make the person thinks of blue sky, sea, ice and snow, give a person with cold, simple but elegant feeling, call so "cool color".

Color has infinite tension, which is conducive to the expression of the content and the deepening of the theme. It can establish the emotional framework of the picture at the very beginning. Many works that can attract attention are "color" first. In the use of color, some painting masters and film directors can be said to be unique. Van Gogh’s colors are full of strong personal emotions and psychological factors, and he used fanatical color language to describe a distressed heart. Gauguin's colors are rugged, reflecting his love of Tahiti's pristine beauty. In film art, color is also one of the important means of creation. The most emotional and emotional effects of color in visual language are used to give the film deep meaning and lead the audience into the plot with the symbolic meaning of color.

The specific analysis of the connotation of color is conducive to the expression of color in photographic works. Red has the longest visible wavelength and is an intense, impulsive, powerful color that easily attracts attention. Orange is the warmest color in the warm color family, bringing a cheerful and warm feeling, making people thinks of golden autumn and rich fruits. Orange and flaxen go together can have very harmonious transition feeling. The brightness of yellow is very tall, indicative is brilliant with brightness, as gules, belong to dazzing colour. Green is a fresh, peaceful and vibrant color, symbolizing life and hope. Blue is the coldest color, show pure, anacreontic, composed and unruffled.

Art of rendering - creating atmosphere

Build an atmosphere is to finish jointly by photograph of early days and later period apply colors to a drawing, according to the light condition of the spot, can show or only beautiful dream, or mysterious and abstruse, or abstruse and magical, or brilliant or halcyon wait for different artistic conception. Landscape works use light, shadow and color to set off the atmosphere and express emotions. The harmony between tone and artistic conception will lead the audience into the scene and generate resonance through imagination.

Hue refers to the overall tendency of colors in a photograph. We often see objects of different colors in the afterglow of the sun or in the pale blue of the moon. This kind is on the object of different color, enveloping some kind of color, the phenomenon that makes the object of different color has same colorific tendency is tonal. Tone is the overall effect of picture color composition, and sometimes it is formed after modification and adjustment intentionally in the process of postproduction, so it is subjective.

Tone is the essence of color, handled properly will let your work to a higher level. Want to get the overall tone of the picture, it is necessary to establish a harmonious and unified color relations. Should follow above all primary and secondary principle, the color that forms picture whole fundamental key is main body color, it may be the area is the biggest a color, also may be purity or lightness highest, the color with the most conspicuous. Foil color and adorn color are secondary color, they are tonal to whole and do not have decisive effect, but have the effect of rich picture. Colour has advocate have time, reasonable collocation lightness and purity, ability produces unified the effect that has window. The primary and secondary colors should be coordinated with each other, and the beauty of harmony is the basic principle to build a picture atmosphere.

Integrate humanistic feelings

Incorporating humanistic themes into landscape photography works can reflect regional characteristics, religious beliefs, local customs and other characteristics, so as to enrich the picture plot and make people think of the stories that once happened on this land, generate the resonance of déjà vu, and the works with thoughts and souls are more moving.

This trip through the tango prairie, along the direction of the tango temple, towering snow mountains stand in the distance. Because I was in a hurry and only had a short stay, I wanted to take a souvenir photo. Seeing the light wind blowing the prayer flags from time to time inspired me. Why not put the prayer flags into the picture? So I pressed the shutter at the moment of the wind, and set the speed to 1/8 second to show the dynamic movement of the prayer flags in the wind. On the picture, the golden light of the tagging temple is shining under the solemn snow mountain, and colorful prayer flags are flying around.

Pictures and stories

In my photos, there are quite a few that really need strong early-stage and post-stage technologies to complete. Even a single photo involves multiple technologies such as surround exposure, depth of field synthesis and panoramic film, etc. Some of them need to integrate astronomical and geographical knowledge and make a thorough plan to seize the shooting opportunity of extremely small chances. However, some photos are taken at will, even without a camera, just using a mobile phone to capture the moving moment, and such a picture with story is the most moving. No matter what technology you use, the premise is that you want to express what; technology is just a means to achieve the idea.

The photos captured by the mobile phone also show that the equipment is not absolutely important; the key is the ability to find and respond to the scene. Sometimes we can also deliberately arrange characters in the picture to design the plot. It should be noted that in landscape photography works, the characters are not the main body, but only play the role of ornament. Therefore, the proportion of the characters in the picture should be small, and they should not dominate the scene.

Summary:

Emotion is the soul of all art forms, and successful art works are all based on emotion. The same landscape in the hearts of different people will have different feelings, aluminum prints each work of light and color hidden in the books you read and the road you walked.
