Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 218 Its impact is greater than everyone expected!
New Delhi, India.

In a luxurious house located in a wealthy area, Har Swaraj is looking at his newly purchased photo album. He is a graduate student who is about to become a photographer because he saw the slogan "Every photographer has a photo album." ” and choose to buy.

The photo album was not cheap, and he spent all the money in his small coffers, so he hoped to get value for money and learn something.

Turning to the first page, he saw a preface.

There is a translated version of this photo album, but Har Swaraj did not buy it, but chose the original English version.

He felt that this way he could understand the creator's thoughts more intuitively. It was only after opening it and reading the author's introduction that he realized that this was a work by a Chinese.

"Okay, I should buy the original version from China." He pouted, expressing his helplessness.

Although his Chinese is not good.

Har Swaraj did not read the preface because he felt it was not very important and could wait until the end.

Generally, the prefaces of photo albums are mostly about the creator's experience and the creative motivation of the work. There is nothing useful, so he still had this idea when reading this photo album.

But the further back he looked at the photo, the more confused he became.

Because he suddenly discovered that these photos did not seem to have a common theme and were completely different from the photo albums he had seen before. They were more like a selection than a complete work.

Of course, he could feel the photographer's ability from the photos, and the freeze-frames at different moments could indeed be called decisive moments.

But just like that, how can we call it a must-have album for photographers?
Har Swaraj continued to look through the photos with doubts. As the number of views increased, he gradually discovered some clues.

Just like searching for treasure in a maze, he found that the photographer's composition seemed to follow many geometric patterns.

Triangle, square, circle.

There are even some compositions that look very regular but cannot be imagined to be geometric patterns.

Har Swaraj felt that he had discovered a blind spot, so much so that he became addicted to it. He no longer looked carefully at the content of the photo, but focused on finding ways to compose the picture.

After looking at all the more than 100 photos, he found that his understanding of composition seemed to be comprehensive.

Looking at the ordinary things in the room, in his eyes they all seem to be full of interesting geometric structures.

For example, the water glass on the cabinet and the vase in the distance are one large and one small, one close and one far away. Their shadows also form elements of the composition on the ground. Har Swaraj couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and take pictures of them. .

"So that's it." He suddenly felt that taking pictures was not that difficult.

The relatively unfamiliar words and techniques that the teacher spoke of suddenly became vivid examples, stored in his mind, waiting for him to use them at any time.

"Interesting." Hal Swaraj turned back to the first page again. He felt that he had finished reading the album and captured the best part, so he could read the preface.

As a result, 15 minutes later, the young Indian slapped his thigh and said angrily: "Why should I read the preface last!"

"This is the exact explanation of the decisive moment, which is great."

"Yes, this is indeed a theory that photographers must understand." Tom read the preface and looked at a few more photos, and immediately felt the key points mentioned in it.

"No wonder I always feel bad every time I take a shot. It turns out it's because of the lack of composition." Bain looked surprised while recalling the photos he took. "Geometric composition + key moments + appropriate colors, I think the photos taken in this way can be called works." Tom concluded in his own words.

"Yes, our shooting was too casual before. Many scenes only focused on capturing the most important elements and ignored the beauty." Bain felt it was a pity. If he had seen this work earlier, he would have definitely missed it when filming. Those who notice these things will take better photos.

"But it's not too late now, I want to take a good look at this album." Tom closed the album, not planning to continue watching it, and preparing to leave a sense of mystery to himself.

"You're right, I want to buy one too." Bain thought the same.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly noticed that more and more people were pouring into the bookstore, and it seemed that they were all heading straight for "The Decisive Moment".

"Wait a minute, why are there so many people?" Tom looked confused.

Bain didn't know what was going on, but that didn't stop him from immediately pulling Tom's clothes and walking towards the bookshelf: "I don't know why they wanted to grab the album, but I know that if we don't grab it with them, we probably won't be able to buy it. To the album.”

Bain's guess was correct, because on the day "The Decisive Moment" was released, all major bookstores in the United States were sold out, and those who wanted to buy it had to wait for restocking.

Because many large and well-known photography bloggers have expressed their opinions on this photo album online.

They all unanimously call it "a must-have for beginners".

This directly caused many photography enthusiasts to cross the threshold of the bookstore and rush in to buy this photo album.

In China, although there is no grand purchase of "The Crow", many people still go to bookstores to buy it.

As for Zheng Guotai's senior citizens' group, they are still making great efforts and achieved a lively scene of sold out in the capital on the first day.

Seeing that this photo album was not as well promoted as "The Crow", but was actually comparable to it, major printing plants immediately started working overnight and continuously sent "The Decisive Moment" to all parts of the world.

Chen Pingsheng naturally feels this, because he is now at the center of public opinion.

When browsing the video, you can see many photographers discussing this work.

In just three days, he could even see that many review and lifestyle bloggers had purchased this album and made their own recommendations.

Although he used a lot of promotional coupons, including small, medium and large scales, he was still surprised by the market performance of this work.

Because in his mind, this work has a certain threshold, and not everyone can watch it immersedly.

However, it is now discovered that the influence of this work even surpasses his "The Crow", and the topic discussion it brings is far higher than that of "The Crow".

"Why?" When Abner came to the room to look at him, he asked curiously.

Abner, the publisher and promotional manager, told Chen Pingsheng: "Because this work will change the current photography industry. Chen, your preface and photos will lead a new trend in the photography industry." , these five words of the decisive moment will become the rules followed by photographers all over the world!”

"Its influence has just begun!" Abner stood up excitedly, his tone uncontrollably trembling.
