It's been a long time since I practiced reportage photography on an abstract topic, that is, not on a direct assignment. I used to shoot horses in a reportage style – that was six years ago.
Now I'm already shooting without thinking about the components of the frame.
Everything is worked out at the level of intuition, not only the construction of the frame itself, but also the plot as a whole.
The general plan, dynamics, close–ups, details, unusual angles - everything is automatic.
And most importantly, creating a beautiful selection is also not difficult.
And even then, when I was just starting to write something, I had no idea what it would all result in.
It was all so primitive, not only in terms of writing the text, but in terms of semantic load.
Photography is so deep and diverse that it's scary to think what else awaits me in life.
The most common hobby nowadays has grown not only into a lifestyle, but into a global philosophy.
And how many photographers are there who study not the surface of the image, but its depth?
With the help of photography, you can influence people! Don't you believe it? And I was convinced...
...Photo reportage is not exactly a deep genre, although from which side to look.
Even photographing an ordinary horse yard has a memory code for at least a few people.
The question is different: how many people in the world feel anything at all...not only from art and the results of human intellectual activity, but anything at all...?
How ridiculous the "product of intellectual activity" sounds...
This is a subtle mental process, but not everyone has it. Someone really has pictures taken with an ordinary mind, according to the canons or even not according to them, but without a soul.
People who have nothing to do with philosophy and the knowledge of the depths of the soul, still feel in some incomprehensible way this code, which is embedded in the pictures.
I was also convinced of this. There are even pictures that are not quite aesthetic in nature that fly like hot cakes on all social networks, because they have a soul in them.
And it happens that I took it off without a soul...although it is beautiful, but the picture does not catch anyone. All this is not just felt on a subtle level, but is indicative of real reviews.
