Abstract

With the development of computer networks and social media, photographic images are becoming more and more widely used in art, daily life and business. Technical difficulties have been gradually solved by camera manufacturers, and creating photographic works seems to become much simpler. In today's technological and cultural context, teachers' teaching contents and methods should be gradually improved in order to improve the teaching quality of art photography-related courses and promote students to create excellent art photography works. Fictional art photography has an important place in the history of early photography and in the development of modern art. Teachers should focus on analyzing the creative methods of typical fictional art photographers. The creation of excellent fictional artworks requires a remarkable imagination. Imagination through meditation, imagination through key words, and imagination through sketching are three ways to effectively stimulate imagination in teaching. The ability to set the scene is a fundamental skill in the art of fictional photography, and it is very important, but often under-appreciated in teaching. In teaching scenography ability, students need to learn the master photographers' high planning ability, rigorous attitude and meticulous working style. Due to the limited funds available for teaching, students need to be encouraged to use low-cost scenery solutions as much as possible. In order to achieve better artistic results, teachers should also guide students to highlight traditional national aesthetic features and contemporary characteristics in their scenes. In this paper, we discuss the importance of fictional photography, the importance of stimulating students' imagination, and the importance of teaching photographic scenography to improve the teaching of fictional art photography, and provide suggestions for improving the teaching of these three priorities. It is hoped that this will provide some inspiration for improving the teaching of art photography in higher education.
