Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 26 The Photo Called Staring

Chen Pingsheng, who returned from the funeral that night, posted a new set of photos on "Shadow Circle".

"Film work "Gaze", Braunica SQ-A, Turret 160."

"Ding!"

Lin Zishan, who is far away in Yunnan, received the "Shadow Circle" reminder immediately.

She was resting in a B&B run by her classmates and friends. It was a room where you could see a large mountainous area when you opened the window. There were two beds, and the suitcases were spread out on the ground, which looked a bit messy.

"The tough guy sent the photo, let me take a look." Lin Zishan leaned against the window and clicked on the photo. He thought it was another street photo, but what he saw was a set of photos taken at an art museum exhibition.

The compositions of the photos were all similar. They were all taken from the perspective of a person looking at the exhibition from behind. However, upon closer inspection, Lin Zishan found that the photos this time were extremely straightforward, so straightforward that it was like a knife scraping bloody parts of the photo. In the mind of a viewer.

For example, in the first photo, when you look at the screen, you can see half of the back at first glance.His body is aging and he looks quite old. He looks like a park man that you often see on weekdays.

But when her eyes followed the back view to the center of the picture, she saw an old man again. However, the old man in the photo frame had dark skin, a stooped posture, sparse hair and lack of color. It was obvious at a glance that he was lacking in nutrition. of.

Comparing the two again, Lin Zishan suddenly discovered details that he had not noticed before.

Although the old man in the back is older, his skin, clothes, and hair all appear clean, neat, and rich.You don’t need to think carefully to know that one old man lives in a wealthy city, while the other old man lives in a poor rural county.

This clear contrast is indescribably suffocating, because no one usually pays attention to such details, but now it is displayed so nakedly.

Looking again, she saw that she had also seen the photos of the old man in the picture. Naturally, they were those of Chen Pingsheng.

She had not gone to the exhibition because she was busy with school matters. Unexpectedly, Chen Pingsheng used another way to structure the photo again.

She lamented in her heart that the creativity of artists is endless. The same photo taken in a different way will give a completely different feeling.

Similar to picture-in-picture, but more intuitive and shocking than picture-in-picture.

After she looked at the five photos, she wrote a series of comments.

Simu Mumu: "When I looked at the photos before, I didn't actually feel that shocked. I originally wanted to go to a photography exhibition to see it with my own eyes, but I had no time to take care of it because of my studies. I didn't expect that the tough guy actually took his own photos and used them as a Recomposing them in another form is undoubtedly more direct in the expression of the photos. I wanted to say that art is restrained. But these photos shocked me no less than other photos. It is always a reminder We, in the corners or places that we have not paid attention to, there are some similar people who are born like us, but do not receive the same treatment."

After she posted her comment, she saw Fan Shusheng’s repost and long comment.

This time he did not talk about the composition and techniques, but only talked about his feelings about these photos from the perspective of shooting ideas.

Fan Shusheng: "I have been thinking after seeing these photos, thinking about a question, are people really created equal? ​​We live in an era of information explosion, and too many things flash before our eyes. Can't make waves. We seem to be used to seeing this gap, getting used to our life as the bottom of society, and gradually becoming numb. But these photos remind us that we are actually living very well, compared to those who are poor For the elderly and children in the village, our current life is beyond their reach.

"The tough guy's photos this time are very direct, direct and even a little offensive. Especially the third one, the comparison between the middle-aged man in a suit and the man with an arm missing is simply a comparison between the rich and the poor created by modern civilized society. Reflection on the gap. Having said this, I dare not say too much. I still want to praise the tough guys from the perspective of shooting ideas. To be honest, I have seen many photographers shooting other already formed works. This is an art. form of expression. But Tough Guy incorporated his own thinking into this. He did not act as a remake, but expressed his own ideas by adding different contrasts, and this idea deepened the purpose of the exhibition photos. If the photo author himself saw I think these photos will make me feel even more gratified. I think these photos will definitely be recommended. If not, I will give shit."

Lin Zishan scrolled through the comments and found that in addition to those who agreed, there were also some funny comments.

Luanwu village ball: "You eat and drink, right?"

One user 9878789: "Why should you reward yourself?"

Air Transport Plane: "@李伟伟伟, I found out that someone is about to perform an Ollie to be swallowed, please read."

Li Weiwei said slightly: "I've read it, it's very good, very good."

Everything is too difficult at the beginning: "What do you mean, you two are just putting this cosplay on?"

After reading the comments of the netizen, she was about to send a message to Chen Pingsheng when she suddenly saw a new comment.

Katherine: "Great photos, full of humanistic care. I'm already looking forward to cooperation."

cooperate?What's the meaning?
Lin Zishan thought for a moment and thought it might be Chen Pingsheng who took over the business, but hadn't he been taking over funerals before?When she learned about the funeral, she found it ridiculous. She also felt that Chen Pingsheng was different. Other photographers took photos of weddings and photos, but he was the only one who always took photos of funerals.

It’s actually pretty cool to think about photographing a funeral.

And it’s more relaxed than a wedding. You don’t have to please anyone or teach others how to pose.Lin Zishan took on several jobs at the university, which made her very tired.

Never underestimate the rigidity of a person's body, even if it is a woman. Many poses taken by models are completely different from those taken by ordinary people.Especially facing the camera, it is easy to feel overwhelmed.

So Lin Zishan thinks that he can also imitate Chen Pingsheng and take over the funeral work?

Not thinking about this, Lin Zishan shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts, and then looked at the replies from "Shadow Circle". They were all asking whether the photos in the exhibition were also taken by tough guys. Even Shusheng Fan was asking, she replied After a few messages, I closed "Shadow Circle" and started sending messages to Chen Pingsheng.

"Tough guy! Your photos this time are too strong."

Chen Pingsheng, who was working out, replied: "It's okay."

"When will your exhibition be open? I will go back next week."

"It's over (sad expression)"

"Ah! (dog crying and kneeling expression)" Lin Zishan typed quickly using the 9-key input method.

"How come it's so fast? I still want to see it."

“The photography exhibition only lasts for one day, so it’s a temporary stopover. To be precise, it’s a waste of time.”

"What about the photos? Will they be sent back?"

Chen Pingsheng twisted his neck, feeling that his muscles were sore from training: "No, several of my photos have been sent to the government, and they said they are going to put them in the Poverty Alleviation Office."

"Okay, I still want to see it (dog sighing emoji)."

"If you want to see it, there's another one. I'll bring it to your store when the time comes."

"Okay!" After Lin Zishan replied to the message, his roommate suddenly opened the door and came back.

While wiping her hair, she looked at Lin Zishan and asked with a smile: "Who are you chatting with? Are you so happy?"

Lin Zishan was stunned for a moment and replied: "How should I put it, both a teacher and a friend."

"Hey, he's also a teacher and a friend, isn't he handsome?" the roommate said with a teasing look on his face.

"Don't be ridiculous, but he is indeed handsome." Lin Zishan didn't notice it before, but now that he thought about it, Chen Ping actually had a very friendly and handsome appearance.

If we use a TV show as an analogy, he is the kind of handsome guy next door, although this kind of role can never be compared to the CEO who descended from the sky.

"Would you like to introduce me?" my roommate asked tentatively.

"What? Are you feeling excited?" Lin Zishan asked curiously.

"Aren't you looking for a handsome guy who is both a teacher and a friend to teach me?" My roommate came closer and joked.

"What you're talking about is definitely not a serious class." Lin Zishan clicked his tongue twice.

"Teacher, teacher?" The roommate called out twice, pretending to be wild, causing Lin Zishan to blush, and then stretched out his hand to touch her itchy flesh.

"Haha, help, stop making trouble, I was wrong." The two rolled over on the bed, and a burst of laughter like silver bells spread far through the window.
