The Oxford Companion to the Photography, edited by Robin Lenman. Straight Photography: The term emerged in the 1880s to mean simply an unmanipulated photographic print, in opposition to the composite prints of Henry Peach Robinson or the soft-focus painterly images of some pictorialist photographers. At first, straight photography was a viable choice within pictorialism, as, for example, the work of Henry Frederick Evans. Paul Strand's 1917 characterization of his work as "absolute unqualified objectivity' described a change in the meaning of the term. It came to imply a specific aesthetic typified by higher contrast, sharper focus, aversion to cropping, and emphasis on underlying abstract geometric structure if subjects. Some photographers began to identify these formal elements as a language for translating metaphysical or spiritual dimensions into visual terms. This emphasis on the unmanipulated silver print dominated modernist photographic aesthetics into the 1970s. ㄟ....看的懂就看，看不懂就等看誰有空來翻譯一下囉...^^||b 另外 straight photography 到 Documentary photography 的轉折當中，我注意到一位攝影家: Paul Strand. 在游本寬老師的 "美術攝影論思" 當中有提到，Paul Strand 和同時代的 Afraid Stieglitz 在處理作品時是完全不同的。Stieglitz 是竭盡所能的運用暗房技術，Paul Strand 則恰相反；另外我在翻閱 Paul Strand-Sixty years of photographs 這本書的時候，則注意到 Paul Strand 早期拍過 pictorial, 拍過特殊視角中 (近攝) 的機械結構 (Straight photography), 但他也拍過如林志明老師提到的 August Sander "Man in the 20th-centry Germany"專題類似形式的 portrait. (當然兩者還是有不同-August Sander 的專題畢竟是精心策劃，更著重於用來襯托不同人物的環境或物件；相較之下 Paul Strand 相對的要隨意一些。) 而在林志明老師的文章當中則指出，August Sander 的這個專題對於 Documentary Photography 的美學建構具有很重要的指標意義。 Stieglit 和 Paul Strand 對於照片後製 (暗房) 的理念完全相反，但是兩者共同的是在最後的照片上面不在加上擬畫的修飾。這個也許是 Straight photographer 共同的堅持。另外對於林志明老師文章中所提到 Documentary photography 的美學風格最後是在 Walker Evans 的手中完成塑；當中有提到 Walker Evans 有受到 Eugene Atget 的影響 (拜 Abott 之賜)，對於 August Sander 的影響則未提及；但同為大西洋西岸的 Paul Strand 卻隻字未提。不知道有沒有人有相關資料討論 Paul Strand 對 Walker Evans 美學型態建構的影響? -- 改標題~ ^^ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 124.8.21.58 ※ 編輯: echo 來自: 124.8.21.58 (02/22 01:34) ※ 編輯: echo 來自: 124.8.21.58 (02/22 01:37)
