[Story Translation] Rare historical lenses of natural daily life in the old era
Many people believe that they did not know how to shoot reportage a hundred years ago, that is, due to the imperfect photography equipment, they were unable to take photos in sports. Yes, that's the reason. However, there are still shots from the early 2000s where we see real life without any decoration and production.
The fact is that photography equipment is developing very rapidly. If it was impossible to remove personnel in the movement in 1890, it would be very likely by 1910, and in 1920 it was not a problem at all. To us, this 20-30-year difference seems trivial on the historical scale. But in fact, a lot has changed at the turn of the century in these 30 years.
This is a natural history shot that makes people like, because it is obvious on them that our ancestors are exactly the same as ordinary people, but their lifestyles and clothes are different. It's very likely that I'll imagine myself in it.
But first, I'll show you some of the staged photos so you can feel the difference. More precisely, they are staged, not to say there is something fake in the photo. Almost certainly, the photographer wants to take the most natural shots and see an interesting scene of life. But there is a certain human nature in the sense that people are frozen and posing. Or at least they looked at the frame, shy, laughed, and a little nervous.
Sometimes people work very hard. Here, I was initially convinced that the battle was in full swing, but then I couldn't think so, the audience was looking at the picture, the fighters were frozen in the correct posture, and also looking at the photographer.

is not very clear here, but I tend to believe that people (at least those in the foreground) deliberately slowly cross the camera.
Even the crowd cannot guarantee nature, and the photographer can at least make the entire village pose.
Then I will show a real report, a natural shot. These differences will be obvious to you.

Translator's words:
We don't know where, when, and who are the characters in the photos. All we can know is: this is in Russia, in the early years of the last century, Russian! Today we see these photos from more than a hundred years ago. How do you feel? Yesterday became the day before yesterday, today became yesterday, tomorrow became today, those times that have allowed history and us to continue to age have not slowed down, we have no other way, we can only cherish the present...
