Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 38 This is the time to be famous

The time goes back to the second day when Chen Pingsheng came to Songyuan.

A week later, "Shadow Circle" released this week's platform recommendations, but what is unexpected is that three photos were taken by one person.

It is indeed Chen Pingsheng’s Gaze series.

Three of the ten photos were recommended by the platform, which not only delighted Chen Pingsheng’s fans, but also made many passers-by wonder who they were.

As a result, a large number of photography enthusiasts and people who care about photography clicked into the account of this tough guy Brother Chen.

Looking at it, oh, although the photos posted by the account are not many, the content and style of their expressions really surprised many people.

In particular, the film style captured has a unique texture and is very eye-catching. It stands out among the coquettish bitches who only know how to use PS.

Therefore, the number of followers of Chen Pingsheng's account began to increase rapidly. Within 24 hours, the number of followers increased by 1, and he received a large amount of traffic.At the same time, the number of likes and comments on each of his Instagram posts continued to increase, directly pushing his set of staring photos to the top of the rankings.

But this was not the final result of this matter. Unexpectedly, "Shadow Circle" received a call from the South China Municipal Government.The poverty alleviation team wants to use these photos to launch a special event.

It's called: 360 Five Days in Yao Village.

At that time, the government will launch a tough battle against poverty in Yao Village and simultaneously broadcast the latest situation on the platform.

The "Shadow Circle" naturally actively cooperated with this promotion policy and promotion of positive energy. Therefore, three days later, when everyone thought that this wave of traffic had passed, a piece of heavy news suddenly came.

"Shadow Circle" and the South China Municipal Government's Poverty Alleviation Group Office will launch a one-year activity called "365 Days in Yao Village" on October [-].

This activity will record the changes that have taken place in Yao Village within a year through photography and video, demonstrating the government's credibility and governance ability.

The first batch of pictures used in the event were Chen Pingsheng's work "Equality of Eyes" and the tough guy Chen Ge's work "Gaze".

However, although people in the city government and the "film industry" knew that this account belonged to Chen Pingsheng, they did not reveal the real names of the authors of these photos. Instead, they uniformly referred to them as the works of the tough guy Chen Ge.

As a result, public opinion became even more turbulent, because most people did not expect that someone could make two extensions of a work on the same theme, and every photo touched the bottom of the heart and moved people.Many famous photographers have posted their own comments under the topic to express their views on these pictures.

Liu Yizhao, Vice President of the South China Photography Association: "Ever since I saw the 48-inch version at the exhibition, I have been thinking about it. If you use a mobile phone to watch it, it is actually difficult to find the most important details of these works. If you can, It is best to use a computer to enlarge the view.

"Looking back at these works, the biggest shock they gave me was that they made me feel that peace is the most powerful language. When shooting, many of us photographers will try our best to exaggerate the suffering and even vilify the subjects in order to shock people. The effect. But this has gone against the original intention of photography. I have taken photos for 40 years and looked at photos for more than 40 years. I think these photos can stay in the history of photography and become a humanistic benchmark for another generation."

Wang Ruxi, a member of the Shanghai Photography Association: "I saw these photos yesterday, but because they were on a mobile phone screen, my eyesight was not very good, so I didn't look at them carefully. Until today, my students used a big screen for me I was shocked when they were shown. This is undoubtedly an impact on existing humanistic photography. Whether it is the use of film as a carrier or the exclusion of the photographer's personal subjective influence, it makes them look so different today.

"I watched it for half an hour before I understood the good intentions of the photographer. Its title is Equality of Looking at each other. As long as people naturally have the right to look at each other equally, but there are too many prejudices and shackles in the world, making this kind of The rules that should have been the default have been distorted. Today, money and power are facing each other, luxury and status are facing each other. Ordinary people have been deprived of their right to look at each other. They can only look up and look at those standing on the top of the mountain. If When they meet in person, they even have to bow down and grovel. It is really embarrassing, but through this series of photos, the photographer shows everyone's most basic right, the right to look at each other."

Famous photography critic Feng Yisheng: "Compared to the equality of looking at each other, I prefer staring. Because from the perspective of mass communication, they are more conducive to ordinary people's thinking about their own lives and social phenomena. And although The photographer used an extremely sharp contrast and tore off the fig leaf at once, but because he took the photo from the back, this not only protected the person involved, but also made everyone continue to think and finally become involved.

"Whether it is young people or middle-aged people, they will think, these people in Biyao Village, are we really living a stressful life? Are we really living in dire straits? Should we go out and see the outside world? The world. This kind of meaning is incomparable to photos that simply capture suffering. So I like them very much. Of course, I think those people who were photographed may have to throw away the clothes in the photos today, or forever. Hide it. Otherwise, if you are recognized, you will only get a look of contempt.

No one expected that in just over ten hours, Yao Village’s 365-day ranking would continue to improve. Originally, the city government did not want to stir up this matter.However, it may be because these photos are really eye-catching and have attracted many comments from photography experts who usually dive, causing the popularity to continue to rise.

In the end, it stayed at the third position. The first two are selfies and photos released by popular actresses in the entertainment industry.

With this wave of popularity, the popularity of the tough guy Brother Chen account has also taken off.Many big names in the industry began to inquire about his identity, whether he was a disciple of some artistic masters or an independent photographer.

Among them, Liu Yizhao was the fastest. He called Zhuang Zeqiang directly. After a round of compliments, he successfully obtained Chen Pingsheng's information.

Liu Yizhao knew from the account name that this young man must be young, but he didn't expect that he was still a senior.After all, there is no other information except the names of the people on the exhibition.

And when he learned that this boy was Professor Li's student, he was extremely happy, because Professor Li himself was a member of the South China Photography Association, so if he wanted to recruit Chen Pingsheng to join the association, it would be too easy.

Nowadays, photography associations are very involved. In order to grab people, they dare to offer any kind of preferential treatment.

So Liu Yizhao decided to take a preemptive strike and drag Chen Pingsheng into the association. For him, age is not a problem!What matters is strength!
Of course, Chen Pingsheng, who had just returned home at this time and read the latest comments, did not know that the major associations had already begun operations.He just felt that this time he was really a heifer riding a rocket, soaring into the sky!

Because he saw the five numbers in the column of account fans: 43201
