Tarnalitsky Maksim, thanks. I'm asking if this is a genre because I don't yet really understand what exactly this word refers to... So, I'm doing another search and finding some vague articles with vague explanations... for example: http://www.artprojekt.ru/Photo/Dyko/145.html Then my photo doesn't meet this criterion at least: "The medium shot dominates genre photography, close-ups are common, and wide shots and distant vantage points are almost never seen."
I once heard someone say that such a genre of photography as genre photography doesn't exist... that there's no such genre in the English language... Incidentally, in the English language, I would classify this photo as street photography, but in Russian, I'm kind of confused...
DiM, "Genre – scenes and images from a person's everyday life, everyday scenes, an attempt to penetrate the spiritual world of the character(s) through the events depicted. At the core of genre photography is a person, at the core of the genre is a certain plot involving a PERSON. Genre photography primarily shows a plot, a captured state or action. The plot covers a specific time period, with a beginning, development, and end – in a word, a certain process."
So plans have nothing to do with it, and genre photography exists.
Vladislav Krasnoshchyok, I think I understand what you mean – the foreground isn't much darker than the background (but it's darker ;) ). I think the situation (perspective? ) is somewhat saved by the receding surf lines, the proportions of the boy and man, the aerial perspective, and the focus gradually decreasing from the foreground. Thanks for the comment.
