Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 66 About photographing female beauty

At noon, Chen Pingsheng, who had just slept for six hours, was woken up by a phone call.

"Hello?" He was holding his cell phone, his mind groggy.

"In my life, I am Feilin."

"Oh, Sister Feilin, what's wrong?" He struggled to wake up from the soft bed. Through the reflection of the TV opposite, he could see that his hair had become a mess.

My hair was quite neat last night, so why did it blow up right after I slept?

He listened to Feilin's words while smoothing his hair with his hands.

In short, there is a temporary shooting project that requires his help. As for the specific details, a document will be given to him.

"Photographing women's bodies?" When Chen Pingsheng saw the content of the document, he was very surprised.

At this moment, Yu Xiang was sitting next to him, and the two of them had arrived at the restaurant across the street for dinner.He was also stunned when he heard this.

The two people immediately gathered around the computer and read the entire document to the end, then fell into silence.

"We should find a female photographer for this." Chen Pingsheng muttered and put the last prawn on the plate into his bowl.

"Yes, I should have known I should have gone." Yu Xiang also whispered, feeling as if he had missed a good opportunity.

"And we're in a hurry. It starts at four o'clock in the afternoon." Chen Pingsheng turned on his phone and looked at the time.Although the price is very generous, continuous shooting is still quite tiring.

If Sister Feilin hadn't asked for more money, he wouldn't have accepted the filming.

"But you should be pretty good at it. This kind of photography will be more artistic." Although Yu Xiang didn't know exactly how Chen Pingsheng wanted to shoot, he still trusted this young man.

Chen Pingsheng peeled off the shrimp shells and nodded: "Fortunately, I already have an idea. I will write an order later and we will go buy something separately."

"What to buy?" Yu Xiang was a little confused. Is there anything that is not available in the studio?

And is it true that you have an idea so quickly?As a professional in commercial auction, he is still thinking about where to start!

According to the description in this document, the purpose of this project is to capture the connection between the female body and the world, photograph the interaction and composition of the female body and the world, and show the physical beauty of contemporary women.

The key is not the body, but the woman.

The body is just a vehicle for expressing this theme.

If you only shoot the body, it will easily create a feeling that is not suitable for children, but if you don’t shoot, you will not be able to complete the theme.

So Yu Xiang was in a dilemma, but he didn't expect that Chen Pingsheng was already confident and was about to show off his skills.

After eating, Yu Xiang took Chen Pingsheng's note and went shopping.

There are gauze of various colors, and some fabrics with silk texture, as well as mirrors and green porcelain bottles used as props.

There are all kinds of things, and it took Yu Xiang more than an hour to put them together by relying on takeaways.

By the time he arrived at the studio, it was exactly five o'clock, exactly.

Chen Pingsheng took the thing from his hand and couldn't help but praise: "Which photographer is so lucky to have Brother Yu as his assistant."

"Come on!" Yu Xiang picked up a cigarette angrily and took a long drag. "Has the model arrived?" he asked, putting down his cigarette.

"Not yet. Sister Feilin said she was here with Party A and wanted to hear my shooting concept. After all, we have changed the photographer." Chen Pingsheng had been placing lights before and had already produced the lights he needed.

Yu Xiang finished smoking and entered the studio with him. When he saw the lights arranged in various postures, he was a little stunned.

"Did you set it up?" Yu Xiang didn't quite believe that Chen Pingsheng could set up such professional lighting. Whether it was top lighting or surface lighting, everything was covered. As long as the model stood in, the shooting could be completed.

"Yes." Chen Pingsheng nodded. This is his old skill. Although he hasn't played with lights for a long time, he is still very skilled once he gets started.

Yu Xiang couldn't help but turn around and found that just like Director Liao couldn't fault the acting yesterday, he couldn't fault the lighting either.

Although lighting in photography is not as complicated as filming a movie, it is still a technical task with a high threshold. Whether it is the lighting angle, or the use of diffusers and light boxes, it will affect the final look and feel.

The most typical and well-known is Rembrandt light, which illuminates the face of the character and darkens the rest of the figure, creating extremely heavy shadows.For those who have no idea about lighting, if you think about how to set up this kind of lighting in a studio, you will know that it is not easy.

Yu Xiang had to retract his previous evaluation of Chen Pingsheng in his heart. He obviously had strong experience in studio photography, at least the lighting layout could be completed after many actual shots.

"What school are you from?" He looked at this guy who was four years younger than him, and he really couldn't figure it out. How could someone be so versatile?

Good at art, good at commercial shoots, good at acting, and good at looks.

Is this the protagonist’s treatment?
Chen Pingsheng knew the meaning of his question and explained: "My teacher is a professor in the photography department. I have a good relationship with her. She taught me a lot."

"I said so." Yu Xiang calmed down a bit, but still felt that having a good teacher could not solve everything. This guy must be extremely talented.

While the two were chatting, the sound of vehicles came from downstairs. The place they were in at this time was the elegant company building, but today was the weekend and no one was working, so the person who came must be a model.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, accompanied by the sound of high heels, an older woman led a young girl upstairs.

"Hello, are you Mr. Fan?" Yu Xiang stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, are you the photographer this time?" Mr. Fan was wearing a black and white women's suit. His hair was combed back and tied into a short ponytail. He looked energetic and capable.

"No, I'm an assistant, and this is our photographer, Chen Pingsheng." Yu Xiang felt a sudden surprise when he saw the unkind look on her face.

Chen Pingsheng said promptly: "Hello, Mr. Fan."

As he spoke, he extended his hand.But Mr. Fan seemed to be in no mood, and did not shake hands. He just glanced at Chen Pingsheng up and down, and snorted: "Is Feilin trying to deal with me? Using such a young photographer?"

It could be heard from her tone that she was not in a good mood.

"Mr. Fan, please believe in our professionalism. This person is a member of the South China Photography Association and has a work exhibition. Please believe that our style will not perfunctory every shooting." Yu Xiang suddenly became serious and his tone became formal.

Mr. Fan looked at him, but did not speak immediately. He then looked at the props and lights prepared in the studio, and then said: "Okay, since you are so confident, let's talk about your photography ideas. If it works, we will shoot it." , No, you just have to wait until the contract is terminated."

Then she crossed her arms and stared at Chen Pingsheng, waiting for his explanation.

However, Chen Pingsheng suddenly smiled, turned around and said, "Not everything can be said by mouth. I am a photographer, not a salesperson. So there is no need to explain. Give me 10 minutes and you will change your mind." "

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this sharply worded rant.
