“用钝刀子割肉,是半天也割不出血来的。”(《毛泽东选集》第四卷一三二一页)这是毛主席在谈到提高报纸宣传质量时指出的。真是生动、精辟的比喻,一针见血,发人深省。作为强有力的宣传形式之一的新闻摄影,如何才能不断地提高图片质量,做到生动、鲜明呢?这实在是一个值得经常研究的课题,也是摄影记者常常面临的难题。偶而看到张亚生同志拍摄的《后院的早晨》照片,从中受到一点启示,那就是:点子要新。 “To cut a flesh with a blunt knife is a matter of half a day without bleeding.” (Selected Works of Mao Zedong, Volume IV, March 21) This was pointed out by Chairman Mao when it comes to improving the quality of newspaper propaganda. Really vivid, incisive metaphor, sharply, thought-provoking. As a powerful propaganda form of news photography, how can we constantly improve the quality of the pictures and make them vivid and vivid? This is indeed a subject worth studying frequently and also a common problem for photojournalists. Occasionally I saw Comrade Zhang Yasheng’s photo of “The Morning of the Backyard”, a little inspiration from it. That is, ideas should be new.
