The Individuality in the Kaleidoscope

180年前,法国人约瑟夫-尼普斯拍摄了世界首幅影像,曝光8小时,拍的是阳台外的景色,即是"景观摄影"。近两个世纪来,对"风光摄影"和"景观摄影"存在定义上的胶着,当下摄影理论似乎更推崇以下说法:"景观摄影"或日"风景摄影",一是涵盖人力而为的景致(包括建筑、陈设及增添观看意趣的因素);二是景观在时空上同时也包含着时代、社会、生活、文化等资讯,当然体现的不仅仅是摄影者的审美观,更是拍摄者是非观和道德观的表达,可谓"相由心生,缘由影起"。

In the past two centuries,there has been a debate between the scenery photography and the landscape photography.At present,photography theories seem to prefer such a statement:the scenery photography(or the landscape photography)contains the landscape that created by human as well as the information of times,society,life and culture in time and space,which embodies not only the aesthetics of photographers but also the outlook of right and wrong and the morality of photographers.The landscape photography is like the fantastic Kaleidoscope on the earth.Meanwhile,it is the "cultural square" of life,on which professional photographers and cellphone shooters wandering.A qualified landscape photograph requests that we should use the thinking of philosophers,the poetry of literati,the mentality of tourists,the skills of photographers to show the individuality,leaving plain and wonderful.
