Certain Genres
这是一个信息，一个情况，一个模样。有趣的当然是中间列表一段；最后一段是为了完整我才一起引的；除非你是教师要教学生，否则不看为宜。
Eliot Shepard 作为 Hey, Hot Shot! 评委给应征者写的话。
Obviously what you choose to photograph is personal and subjective, and all kinds of subject matter is fair game for the competition. But there are certain genres and subjects which I think place a greater burden on the photographer in terms of originality. They’re submitted often.
* Diptychs or other multiple presentations where the photos do not have a direct relationship to one another. Steer clear of juxtaposition for its own sake.
* Parking lots, lonely shopping carts, gas stations
* Floral still-lives
* Suburban emptiness
* Eerie night photography
* Beds: empty, unmade, and so on
* Moody (nude) self-portraiture
* Meditations on illness or death of a family member
* Shoes and feet
* Loosely edited street photography
* Exuberant Photoshop experiments (Just Say No)
* Rigorously documentary travel photographyAgain, this is not to say that any of these things cannot be done, but that they are more difficult to photograph in a way that makes an impression. If this is your terrain – actually, whatever your terrain – it is incumbent on you to be aware of genre cliche and to avoid/subvert/surpass it.
