인물사진 표현방법에 관한 연구 - 지뢰 피해자 ‘인생사진’ 작품을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study is about the portrait work 'Life Photography', which was conducted with an emphasis on socially expanding personal stories. With the purpose of telling the story of landmine victims living with disabilities due to an unexpected accident, the photo education program was conducted to show that ‘Even now, mine victims continue to occur in Korea’. Portrait was chosen as a means of expression that allows subjects to directly show themselves as subjects serving as visual evidence as well as the photographer's perspective to inform social issues. As a photographer who conducts 'Life Photography', I tried to choose a method of helping them to bring out their life story and creating their own image together, rather than simply recording from the viewpoint of an observer who conveys facts and information. What I tried in this work was not only considering the recordability, sociality, and artistry, but also allowing the subject to have the experience of participating in the method of self-portrait construction. It stands out as a subjective object that can actively record one's appearance, and allows it to play a role in directly delivering a social message.
