Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 10 Fan Shusheng’s long comment
"Updated, then I must be No. 1!" In just a few seconds, people started to comment on Chen Pingsheng's new photo.

I am Xiao Xiaochuan: "The style this time is very unique! The large silhouettes and dark parts, as well as the lines of the architecture, are so cool."

Sun Yimao replied below him: "Brother, what do these pictures mean?"

I am a little Xiaochuan: "Wait for me to take a closer look."

At this time, Fan Tiesheng, a teacher in the capital, was typing on his mobile phone on the sofa. Because he had been replying to messages on the platform, he also immediately saw the new photo of the tough guy Brother Chen. There was no doubt that it made him feel... Stunning photos.

Although this photo doesn’t have much sense of story, this kind of photo full of lines tests the photographer’s basic skills.

Fan Tiesheng was not disappointed, or he felt that his mind was opened by these photos. He realized what was wrong with the previous shoddy photos, so he simply started firing map cannons.

"These 6 photos of tough guys are a complete mockery of the bad photos on the platform. Many people, including photographers, believe that street photography is the easiest way to make a film, and shooting buildings means monotony and mediocrity. , unable to take photos with real texture. But these 6 photos tell us that simplicity to the extreme is a brilliant way of expression. For example, in the first photo, a person is walking on the glass bridge. It sounds ordinary, but Look carefully at the photo.”

"The shooting angle is from the right side of the pedestrian. The warm yellow sunlight passes through the iron frame blocked by the bridge, forming a reflection on the ground. The iron frame and the reflection form a symmetrical relationship. In the regular composition, there is first of all a sense of orderly beauty. . But it’s not over. Passers-by serve as an element that breaks the monotonous lines and adds another layer of artistic expression to this photo. That is the connection between people and the city, and between people and the steel jungle.”

"And the last one highlights the photographer's composition ability. Every photographer knows the frame composition, but they are not necessarily very good at using it. But looking at this photo, it was obviously taken under a bridge. , on the far left are two red light strips, which correspond to the red light on the far right and form the first frame. The photographer deliberately adjusted the dark part to a large area of ​​black to guide our sight. This is the first frame. Two frames. Then we can see another pillar in the center dividing the picture. This is the third frame. Finally, we can see the silhouette of a pedestrian in the distance. Layer by layer, layer by layer, I believe everyone is in When you see these photos, you will be fascinated by the original beauty of photo composition, which is the use of points, lines and surfaces.”

"The reason why many photographers reject street photography is because they don't have this kind of thinking and can't take such simple and beautiful pictures. They can only take some messy things, without expression, and the content is monotonous. I think this It is also one of the shortcomings of contemporary photography. Most people choose to pursue hot spots and traffic, and only know how to copy and paste, which does not constitute artistic thought at all. These photos of Tough Guy broke through my imagination and made me discover that lines can use such a strong relationship between light and dark. to express.”

After posting this series of photos, Fan Tiesheng reposted Chen Pingsheng's photos on his account. He decided to recommend next week's tough guy Brother Chen because he found that this photographer really has the ability to break expectations.

Photography is the art of light and shadow.How to use light is a problem for all photographers, especially street photography, where light is even more difficult to control.The tough guy Brother Chen has now given an answer. In fact, it is not that people have never taken photos like this before, but they were only limited to one or two photos, and the ideas were not unified.

The tough guy Chen Ge’s color grading ideas and shooting ideas this time are particularly consistent. The six photos are completely a series. Although this does not mean that he is a street photography master, at least it is the first clue.

Fan Tiesheng is very happy to see the new generation of domestic blood. He usually also looks at foreign works. He feels that there is still a certain aesthetic gap between domestic and foreign countries. "Freeze World" is a global competition and will not give preferential treatment based on region. He hopes that the new generation in China can carry the banner and win awards in competitions.

But it’s still early to say this. These photos are more about ideas and basic skills. In terms of artistic value, they are not as good as the first photos. Fan Tiesheng has followed many talented photographers, and the tough guy Chen Ge is just one of them. Just look Is there anyone who can come out on top in this competition?

Chen Pingsheng has also been reading "Shadow Circle", so he naturally saw Fan Tiesheng's comments. He felt recognized, but also felt that it was a bit of a fuss.

He really just took the photo casually without thinking too much about it.

Photos with such a huge contrast between light and dark were already commonplace in the original time and space, because such photos are highly replicable.As long as you find a good angle and wait patiently, you can always take a few decent photos in a day.

But this comment made Chen Pingsheng realize that he had overestimated the aesthetics of contemporary art. Many styles were completely missing here. If no one photographed them, he didn’t know how long it would take to discover them.

After thinking about it, he suddenly felt that if he had more fans in the future, wouldn't it be possible to make money by teaching classes?He knows a lot of styles, including green-orange tones, fresh Japanese style, strong Korean style, etc., which are all styles that are very popular among netizens.

When the time comes, we will have a photography class and a post-production class. Each class will cost two to three hundred, and a course of treatment will last two months. Oh no, two months for one semester.By recruiting dozens of students, he would soon be able to make a lot of money.

Fortunately, he was a lazy person, so this thought disappeared from his mind immediately.

Looking at the comment area again, the number of likes on the photo has reached [-]. It is obvious that the platform recommendation has been attracting traffic to him. At this rate, he should be able to break through [-] followers this week.Chen Pingsheng looked at the replies with pleasure and enjoyed them.

At this time, a comment appeared under Fan Shusheng's comment: "You have many words, you are right!"

"+1"

"+1"

Someone responded one after another below.

Chen Pingsheng feels that it is no different from before. Everyone is still playing the same tricks.

After being silent for a while, I am a little Xiaochuan, and finally expressed my own interpretation in the comment area: "The theme of the photographer's shooting this time is lines, light and shadow, and color. There is no complicated intention, just the simple beauty of the composition. The beauty of light and darkness. This is the most basic thing in the art of photography, and it is also our most primitive enjoyment of photography. One light and one dark is like breathing, the pulse of a photo. It is also an important part of supporting a photo to become art. For this kind of photo , in fact, it doesn’t require too much interpretation, just watch it quietly and appreciate the beauty. I can only say that I hope there will be more and more of this kind of photos, instead of being robbed of traffic by those photoshop parties.”

Sun Yimao said below: "That's right, brother, I feel bored in the photo-taking circle now. Half of the photos are the same, and the other half are from the P-picture group."

Zhou Youmeng replied to her: "Be careful of those pornographic people who come to bully you online!"

"I'm from the P-picture faction, so I'm Sun Yimao, right?"

These words made Chen Pingsheng seem to have returned to the past time and space. Just as he was enjoying himself, he suddenly received a WeChat message.

"Tough guy! You must be a professional photographer! (dog's serious expression)"

There is no doubt that it is Lin Zishan.

"I said that I was taught photography by an old master in my dream for more than ten years. Do you believe it?" Chen Pingsheng wanted to tease her.

"Please introduce me to me! (dog kneeling expression)"

"Master, he no longer accepts apprentices. He has left."

"Then you accept a disciple?"

"Speak straight."

"Actually, our group is going out to collect photos, but I don't know what to shoot. I want to ask you for advice. (dog pleading expression)"

"We will tell you in detail tomorrow." After Chen Pingsheng replied, he put down his phone and dreamed of returning to Duke Zhou.
