Postmodernism is actually a difficult thing to define. From the time point of view, it generally refers to the 1970s to the present. However, from the perspective of the history of photography, the attempts of postmodernism photography appeared in immigrants in the 1950s. In the camera of Robert Frank, a Swiss photographer in the United States, it appeared under the background that modernist creation has shown weakness, appearing as an image that subverts the rational tradition of modernism. Looking at the background of the times, TV sets began to become popular and popular. The prevalence of consumerism has provided a breeding ground for the emergence of postmodernist photography.

The basic aesthetic principles of post-modern photography are summarized as 6 by Michael Koller:

Postmodernism

1、Photographers must "invent" new themes. It is no longer enough to "discover".

2、You can choose how to express yourself, and you can even use other people's classic works as a starting point.

3、Based on the photographer's intention, all techniques can be accepted.

4、Post-processing of photos is allowed and encouraged.

5、Do not insist on technical perfection.

6、The evaluation of the creative aspects of the work should be based on the work's ability to destroy the traditional claims of authenticity, objectivity and realism in traditional photography, as well as the ability to give a new meaning to things.

Postmodernist photography also pursues a kind of tolerance and equality. In other words, the purpose of rebelling against modernism is to strive for a kind of equality, just like adolescents who wish to be treated as "adults", regardless of whether it is high or low. Pursuing an equality in artistic status is its own goal. Although not as authoritarian as modernism, it still emphasizes a kind of conceptual originality.
