Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 258 Best Photographer of the Year!

To be honest, this was beyond everyone's expectations.

Although Iwama Koichi's work "Rainbow" is very brilliant and is his best work in recent years, the degree of topic and discussion it aroused is not as good as "The Decisive Moment".

What fascinates people in "The Decisive Moment" is not only the summarizing words and unique concepts, but also the surrealism expressed in Chen Pingsheng's photos.

This point has become the consensus of many people after being commented by many critics.

So everyone really doesn’t know why this work was not selected?
Is it because this work is too controversial?

But isn’t art inherently controversial?

On the other side, Chen Pingsheng was now in a much calmer mood. Since the work for which he had the most high hopes did not win an award, he felt that he might not have much chance for the remaining grand prize.

So he didn't pay attention to what Mr. Ericsson and Ms. Akihi Kawashima said on the stage. He just watched it all quietly, and then when receiving comfort from the people next to him, he nodded to express that he was in a good state. Well, no need to worry.

In his eyes, everything seemed to be a silent mime. The actors came on stage, spoke, and then left the stage.

The stage became colorful again, and the singer came on stage to sing. As for what he sang, Chen Pingsheng didn't seem to remember anything.

But although he didn't think about the next award, other photographers thought that he might win the Photographer of the Year award.

After all, no one can release three topical albums in one year.

It is generally believed that Chen Pingsheng has reached his creative peak, and perhaps he will not be as adventurous as he was this year in the future.

And with all the small awards given out, the competition finally reached the final climax.

"I believe that everyone has been waiting for this moment for too long. Every year, countless outstanding photographers emerge in the photography world, and their works and thoughts express their views on the world."

"So in order to encourage their exploration, this award for the Best Photographer of the Year was established. Not only to reward new photographers for their unbridled creativity and the heat of discussion, but also to let everyone see that some photographers have been consistent for decades. Days of hard work.”

“They are the rare treasures in the photography world.”

“So, allow me to introduce this year’s nominees to you!”

Chris took out the card and began to read out the nominees to everyone.

"America, Tom Hans, he photographed a family for 30 years, allowing us to see American families, their joys, sorrows, joys, and life changes."

Applause rang out at the right time, and an old man with white hair slowly stood up to pay tribute to everyone.

"Britain, Carter White, he has been paying attention to nature and marine life for decades, and the photos he took have become important academic materials for the United Nations."

The old man stood up shakily on crutches, and people around him helped him.

He smiled, his face full of traces of time.

"China Hong Kong, Ning Zhao, his works are unique. He has made his own exploration in color expression, which is very distinctive. His works have been included in major auctions all year round. He is a model of the combination of photography and business."

After Chris finished reading, a Chinese man appeared on the big screen. His hair was dark and looked well maintained, but the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes betrayed his age.

For these elderly people, everyone gave us the warmest applause since the beginning.

Chen Pingsheng is no exception. Everyone respects these seniors very much. After all, the predecessors planted trees for others to enjoy, and many things require perseverance.

Just like recording nature, it is very important for the future ecological protection of mankind.

Chen Pingsheng also thought that when he was 40 years old and no longer had enough energy to explore the boundaries of photography, he might be able to find a lifelong recording job, stick to it, and leave some information for future generations.

So Gesai gave them awards. He felt that there was no problem at all. This was something worth telling everyone.However, the next second Chris suddenly broke out of his thoughts and announced the final nominee.

"China, Chen Pingsheng! His "Decisive Moment" summed up the most important concepts in the photography world, and many of his works also proved his unique creativity in photography. There is no doubt that he will be the most shining star in the photography world in the future. Stars!”

Facing the camera and applause, Chen Pingsheng looked calm and nodded politely.

"Then let's invite our guests to present to you the last award!"

The music gradually became louder, and an unexpected guest appeared in front of everyone.

"Richard Walter. Currently the oldest photographer in the photography industry, he is also the mentor of many photographers." Mr. Wall next to him introduced Chen Pingsheng.

Chen Pingsheng nodded his chin. He knew that this old man was indeed the most important guest in the photography world.

"It seems that the result is obvious." Mr. Wall shrugged, saying that he had seen through everything.

"Who does Mr. Wall think will win the prize?" Chen Pingsheng asked in a low voice.

"It's definitely not you, Chen." Mr. Wall's expression was mysterious, as if he had seen through something.

Chen Pingsheng smiled and didn't feel offended, because he thought so too.

If you really want him to win the award, you won't move out three heavyweight veteran photographers.

You know, this situation has never happened in previous years, with three seniors and one young player.

This shows that this year's competition is intended to award the Best Photographer of the Year to seniors and recognize their contributions.

But to be honest, this award is somewhat undeserved.

Because this is the best of the year, not a lifetime contribution award.

But now that Gesai has brought out these heavyweight seniors, others can't criticize them too much.

Sure enough, it was not as expected by Chen Pingsheng and Mr. Wall.

Mr. Richard Walter read out the final winner amidst the music.

"England, Carter White! Congratulations!"

He took the lead in applauding, and all the audience also applauded, but the fans in front of the screen did not accept the result very well.

They all went to the film industry and commented in the official contest section.

Ranbumuraqiu: "What kind of award is this? Photographer of the Year. Did the competition judges eat these words?"

The little photographer who committed the crime against the wind: "I think Gesai just didn't want to award the award to Brother Chen! On purpose, absolutely on purpose."

Keli Keli: "How come Neon Man's photo album can beat the Decisive Moment! The Decisive Moment is so popular all over the world. My friends who don't usually know photography all know this photo album. How can it not be the best of the year! This There must be something shady!"

At any time: "I am just a passerby, I don't know much about photography, I just watched the live broadcast and was a little surprised. Gesai must have done this to prevent Chen Pingsheng from winning too many awards. Alas, art still cannot escape people's hearts."

There were also many comments from fans and passers-by.

But Chen Pingsheng couldn't see these. At this time, the competition awards were all over and it was time to enter the reception.
