I am a photography enthusiast, I took a lot of photos and organized many photography activities, but in the end I was too stupid and the results were not great. I have only a little understanding of photography theory, but I don’t understand the performance of photography equipment very well. I just take pictures based on my feelings. This feeling is my love and pursuit of "beauty". I think "beauty" is the soul of photography and the standard for evaluating photography works. No matter what equipment you use or what method you take, as long as the photos you take feel beautiful, it is a good work. If your works can give people a sense of beauty and enjoyment of beauty, and then arouse the association of beauty and pursuit of beauty, then you will become the messenger of "beauty".
I would like to be the messenger of beauty. "Beauty" makes me love my motherland more, peace more, work more, and friends more; "Beauty" makes me curious about everything, full of longing for the future, and more attached to life.
Beauty is in my heart, beauty is in my subconscious, the feeling of beauty directs me to press the shutter and take beautiful pictures. Due to my growing obsession with photography, I have come to experience that everything in the world is so beautiful - the beautiful sky and the earth are beautiful, the beautiful mountains and waters are beautiful, the beautiful flowers and grasses are beautiful, the beautiful people and things are beautiful, the beautiful macros and the beautiful microscope is beautiful, the beautiful movement and stillness are beautiful, the omnipresent and omnipresent beauty constitutes our colorful world, and weaves our colorful life.
There are thousands of kinds of beauty, and each beauty has its own special core characteristics and expressions. For example:
The beauty of body lies in both cultivation. Whether it is a graceful model or a actor who dances in a bright dress; whether it is a young and mighty warrior or an athlete who cuts through the waves, his body is graceful, strong, sporty, or standing still, which makes people feel trembling and sigh. This is a kind of beauty that can sway the soul, a kind of beauty that unites the spirit and form, and a kind of beauty that has both cultivation and cultivation. Physical health is the basis for forming physical beauty, modification and dressing are a means to improve physical beauty, and purifying the mind is the key to maintaining physical beauty. Practicing the body is not only about practicing the body, but also about practicing spirit, temperament and cultivation. Appreciating the body is not only about appreciating people's appearance, but more importantly about appreciating the harmonious and unified beauty of people's hearts, personality, language, morality, and behavior. Through this appreciation, the real role is to inspire people to love themselves, modify themselves, improve themselves, and shape themselves, and everyone becomes the most beautiful person of the times.
Portrait beauty lies in the unity of form and spirit. Whether it is art or photography, expressing portraits of characters, is one of the basic courses. From the perspective of the human body, there are men and women, old and young, fat and thin; from the perspective of the region, there are Chinese, foreigners, southerners and northerners; from the perspective of identity, there are workers, farmers, students, merchants, and the People's Liberation Army; from the perspective of their professions, there are countless religions, nine levels, five elements and eight works.Many types of people have their own expressions, either their age characteristics, their regional characteristics, their experience characteristics, or their industry imprints. After a long time of observation and research, you can accurately express them with the camera and brush in your hand, forming a vivid image beauty, and achieving the state of unity of form and spirit. For example, the image of an old man shows tenacity in the vicissitudes of life, the image of a girl shows vitality in the handsomeness, the image of a worker shows firmness in the toughness, the image of a peasant is wrapped in the roughness, the image of an actor stretches beauty in the prettyness, the image of a child shows in the innocent in the romanticism, etc. The portrait of "unity of form and spirit" can give people an extreme beauty.
The beauty of the wilderness is vast and spectacular. Most photographers like natural scenery, especially the boundless wilderness. Shooting the wilderness can not only make good blockbusters, but also broaden our horizons, feel the natural greatness of the building, and be shocked by the soul. The mountains on the field are winding and continuous, majestic and magnificent; the forests on the field are covered with colorful greenery, but only the vastness; the grasslands on the field are boundless and boundless; the deserts on the field are filled with mounds and rolling waves, and golden light shines. People are in the vast wilderness, and they are all relaxed and amazed. The vast wilderness, the spectacular wilderness, and the mysterious wilderness bring us the beauty of ethereality, the beauty of shock, and the beauty of spiritual purification.
The beauty of architecture lies in the cultural heritage. Tourism photography, various buildings account for a considerable proportion. In terms of category, buildings are divided into garden buildings, palace buildings, residential buildings, temple buildings, venue buildings, mausoleum buildings, etc. Various buildings, whether ancient or modern, Chinese or Western, or ethnic or religious, all present different characteristics and contain profound cultural heritage. For example, the Top 10 buildings in Beijing , Great Hall of the People in the 1950s, National Culture Palace , Chinese Art Museum , and Beijing Railway Station; National Library , International Exhibition Center, Great Wall Hotel ; CCTV Tower , Olympic Center, Beijing New World Center in the 1990s; contemporary buildings Bird's Nest, Water Cube, National Grand Theater, CCTV New Building, etc. are not only unique in design, diverse in form, different in style, and extremely beautiful, but also each building has its own unique historical and practical significance, reflecting a profound cultural heritage, bringing great impact to people's senses and psychology.
The beauty of the park lies in the ingenuity of the craftsmanship. There are parks everywhere in urban and rural areas, and the parks are full of beautiful scenery. The park is a favorite place to relax. Whether it is an ancient park or a newly developed park; whether it is a city park or a country park; whether it is a popular park or a park with a certain characteristic, it reflects the beauty of different designs, the beauty of cultural heritage, and the beauty of humanistic characteristics. Looking at these parks, especially those with a long history and profound cultural heritage, small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers are really ingenious and beautiful. The park is a public event garden. Therefore, meeting people's needs is the most fundamental purpose of designing parks, building parks, and playing the role of parks. When people have sensory needs, all kinds of trees and flowers are planted in the park for people to appreciate; when people have activities needs, various cultural and sports facilities are built in the park for people to exercise and entertain; when people have the need to make friends, all kinds of quiet paths are paved in the park for couples to stroll and express their feelings. Only by ingenious facilities with people's singing and laughter can the park be energetic and energetic, and can it fully reflect the beauty, charm and functions of the park.
The beauty of flowers and plants lies in all kinds of colors. million flowers and plants are decorating the world, they are competing to open up for the beauty of nature and compete for beauty.Flowers are big and small, but they are not willing to be lonely, and they show themselves in the best shape and beauty; the flowering period is long and short, but they are not pessimistic and lost. Even if it is a flash in the pan, they must "leave it freely". The shy pink face of spring peaches, the bright and gorgeous summer lotus, the colorful colors of autumn chrysanthemums, and the frost and snow in . All have their own unique beauty and charm. Photographers of the brilliant sea of flowers should carefully ponder and observe carefully, and use photography language and techniques to fully reflect the unique beauty, gorgeousness and dedication of all kinds of flowers, which are of various colors and colorful, for people to taste and appreciate, and further inspire people to admire and love for the beauty of the world and nature.
The beauty of animals lies in their appearance, color, sound and state. There is a famous saying that "don't perform with children and animals", because the language and expressions of children and animals are innocent and will not be artificial. The expressions of animals are vivid and natural. Each type of animals has their own expressions, and their beauty is reflected in their appearance, color, sound and state. The expression of a horse is high and unrestrained, showing the beauty of tension; the expression of an old cow is down-to-earth and honest, showing the beauty of honesty; the expression of an eagle is spreading its wings in the wind, showing the beauty of bravery; the expression of a dove is quiet and beautiful, showing the beauty of peace; the kitten and puppy closest to people is cute and lovely, showing the beauty of peace. Show the appearance, color, sound and state of each animal, and your shooting will be successful.
There are many more, For example: the beauty of the mountains lies in steepness; the beauty of the sea, the beauty of the vastness; the beauty of the morning glow, the beauty of the gorgeousness; the beauty of the moonlight, the beauty of the tranquility; the beauty of the city, the beauty of prosperity; the beauty of the countryside, the beauty of the simplicity; the beauty of the movement, the beauty of the agility; the beauty of humanities, the beauty of harmony; the beauty of work, the beauty of dedication; the beauty of dance, the beauty of shape; the beauty of performing arts, the beauty of expressiveness; the beauty of children, the beauty of innocence; the beauty of girls, the beauty of liveliness; the beauty of craftsmanship, the beauty of exquisiteness; the beauty of sculpture, the beauty of solemnity;...

Beauty is everywhere, everywhere, these are all subjects that we can't take and endless photographs.
Photography is to explore the essence of beauty through its appearance and then express it, giving people infection and touching. To do this, you must have the following four elements:
First, the beauty of photography is in your heart. In a broad sense, photography belongs to the category of fine arts, that is, it is an art that expresses beauty. Only by having a beautiful heart, beautiful hope, beautiful will, and beautiful virtue can we actively explore beauty, deeply explore beauty, study beauty carefully, and express beauty appropriately.
Second, the beauty of photography is in the eyes. Art master Luo Dan said: "Life is not lacking in beauty, but the lack of eyes to discover beauty." As the saying goes, "the wise eye recognizes the pearl." Photographers must develop "fire eyes" and must train their ability to discover, refine and solidify beauty. We must love life, think diligently, observe carefully, and feel the real world with a beautiful heart. Usually, you should watch more film festivals, more photography albums, and more good works from others. If you see more, your eyes will become "poisonous", and you will be able to discover beauty that others cannot find, and you will be able to show good works that others cannot find.
Third, the beauty of photography is in the hands. is to work hard to study and master photography skills. It is not difficult to get started with photography, but it is very difficult to really take some good things and become a photographer. I think "photography is the hard truth". Reading books alone is not good. You must combine learning with practice, think more and watch more, shoot more and practice more, so that our photography level can be continuously improved, and our desire to express beauty and the goal of creating beauty can be achieved well.
Fourth, the beauty of photography lies in accumulation. This accumulation is not only the accumulation of photography experience, but also the accumulation of knowledge in many aspects. An excellent photographer is definitely not just good at photography. He must have many talents (such as art, calligraphy, literature, philosophy, performance, etc.). The moment you press the shutter is actually the release of the photographer's connotation and aesthetic emotions. A good photography can be regarded as a calligraphy, a song, or a poem. Only by accumulating many aspects of talents can we truly have the ability to discover, create and express beauty.
Every photographer and every person who loves photography should be the discoverer of beauty, the advocate of beauty, the creator of beauty, and the practitioner of beauty.
Let beauty decorate our lives and accompany us for the rest of our lives!
