Brief introduction of several photography schools

Realism pays attention to the documentary characteristics of photography. Photographers follow the principle that social life is similar to the natural landscape, and do not destroy the natural landscape when shooting, thus shooting natural and true images. This technique plays a greater role in understanding and educating things than in appreciating art, and its appeal and documentary nature are greater than appreciation, so it is often used in news photography or military photography.

The school of painting pursues the interest of painting and standardizes photography creation with the principle of painting modeling. The development of this school is divided into two stages. One is the school of painting, which emphasizes the rigorous structure and elegant layout of the picture, and the picture should be carefully arranged and processed by the photographer to achieve the "poetic" effect; The second is the school of painting, which strives to be "poetic and picturesque" in real life and requires beauty to be natural and unpretentious.

The naturalism school advocates the most direct and primitive feeling of nature, and this school puts forward the slogan of "returning to nature". They demand that the subject matter be true and natural, rather than deliberately designing and manipulating the scene. They think that only works close to nature are the highest art.
