Inspiration from Daidō Moriyama

On a Chinese website calls ZhiHu, I saw a question about some Japanese photographer Daidō Moriyama's works.The questioner just asks how is these photography works and then show these pictures.


There are many answerers think these pictures are really bad on skills.But as a worldwide famous photographer. Daidō Moriyama must have his reason to shoot these works.And then they start to feel these pictures with difficulty.I am also in doubt for these pictures.Is these works really good?
But my question is answered when I see an answer.In this answer, the answerer pastes some other pictures.These pictures are about the same works with those works in the question, but they are in different mediums.



These are shot from Daidō Moriyama's personal photography magazines Record.Those works bring us the entirely different feelings on the large size and finely printed magazine.When we see these pictures from the website or our phone screens, we can only see the weird shots.But from the magazine, the whole works will forcibly occupy our sight and let us shocked by the vast feelings and rich details.
So actually, these works in the magazine are the real integrated Daidō Moriyama's works.We can't get the real intentions from these works without the correct medium.
Photography is an art.Not only the photos theirselves.We can also show our idea through the way  how we show our works.

Henri Cartier-Bresson is a photographer who  pioneered the genre of  street photography , and conceived of photography as capturing a  decisive moment.I  learned a lot of knowledge about street photography which was created by him before I knew him. On the street, he can see the person who has rich narrative and quickly catch the their best and natural dynamics and expressions. He can also find creative angles to create contrast, setting off or satire. His photos always are good at framing.And his picture always tells stories.And make us think about them so we can be absorbed in to his works.
