Shooting the human body is nothing new, just as a fashion tide, there are many punctuate
The human body, photo, right and wrong
In China, countless individuals body of photographic artists like to do underground work quietly exploring the road of human photography, from the secular public opinion from the law, never did not give them an easy authoring environment. From the ivory tower to the commercial field, the inevitable of all kinds of art, human body photography is probably the last of the “artistic nobility, human photo hot in the sudden rise of the new century, become a fashion of the metropolis, so that in the pure body art of photography photographer in the ivory tower to see the dawn before dawn, from art to commercial, perhaps, the cash-strapped real photographer a little economic Kuanyu some, from art to business, human body photography has also brought strange color and the community’s views.

Shooting the human body both in China and abroad have long been nothing new, just as a fashion tide, there are many worthy punctuate. Human history of photography, it has been in existence for 100 years, since the invention of photography, photographers fatalistic body tightly linked together. Frenchman Hyppolite Paya like a half-naked self-timer opened the prelude of the human body photography. Photography to a variety of art that can be compared with the painting, has been the goal of many photographers, Oscar Leland, British photographer in the 1857 shooting of the “life of the two roads is the most successful example of this effort. 1920 is the golden age of European modernist photography. With the revaluation of values ​​in the late 1960 worldwide, a number of human performance in the past taboo was finally broken. Human art of photography is relatively slow development in China late, only Zhang Yinquan “Eagle” in the May Fourth New Culture Movement, Ao Enhong “bathing”, Wu Yinxian “human” Long Jing San Chunyuan “and so on, the war and all kinds of sports, human body photography disappeared. More than a decade ago, Beijing held a Body Art Exhibition, 1998, 1999, in Guangzhou, held for the two “experiment, the human body photography exhibition” After the bell rang in 2000, Fujian has organized the “Oriental body photography Art Exhibition. ” Yes, “the human body is the highest form of natural beauty, is the highest level of aesthetic objects, the human body is a healthy, full of the vitality of the United States, a vigorous, body art is a human miracle of life tribute to the exploration of the mysteries of life, body art show life as the most beautiful, delicate, precious and secretive side, the excitement of the mood to love nature, love life. The body art default and then refused to accept, from the human body as a “scourge” to gradually more and more quiet, has experienced a reborn like the painful process of long-term “leftist” thinking of the detention lingers feudal ghost, normal metamorphosis unusual, solemn evolution as a trifling matter, in modern civilized society, formed one after another vicious circle. The place I work is a small medium-sized cities, a few years ago one was interested in art and photography, Mr. took some body photos, participate in the city’s Film Festival Competition, the judges refused to scoring, do not think that art, even the public security bureau also seized his store. Compared to the 1998 opening of the first experiment the human body photography exhibition “The next day,” Nanfang Dushi Bao “reported” held in Beijing 10 years ago and the first time the human body photography exhibition aroused enormous repercussions, the exhibition quietly . ”

Bit esthetician within and outside the structure of the human body made this analysis: Man is created in accordance with the laws of the United States. He is the diversity of the unity of opposites, is a slick vivo. From the gender point of view, showing the characteristics of yin and yang complementary of, the men to just wins, the body was inverted triangle on wider at the top, stable stable, suitable in action; women with soft long, body was Triangle, on the narrow width, suitable for static . From a structural point of view, always balance and imbalance in symmetry: eyes, ears, breasts, arms, feet is located just to the left and right sides. Although a nose, around the nostrils is symmetrical, although an upper and lower lip is symmetrical. The head is round, small resistance; feet close together was square, and standing stability. “Hemispherical dome”, “Know the circle line party associated with this. The hand has five fingers, points can together; thumb to one side, four points to the other side of the can clenched rope. Navel in the middle. The heart is located in the height golden Department. From the action point of view: the full dynamic symmetry and balance. Stood up and pricked like a mountain; lay down a cross, such as a river. Stretched out like a “big” occupied space up, twist like a ball, and occupy the space at least. Back upper extremity elbow, to facilitate the former song; lower extremity knee forward, easy to after song. Metabolism, in accordance with the frequency of organisms; breathing and heartbeat, to follow the rhythm of physiological field. The body of the swing, flexion and extension, jumping, rolling … the show features in dance, gymnastics, athletics, swimming, diving, windsurfing, surfing and other sports, rhythm and rhyme compose the physical beauty of the symphony. What’s more, per person constructed the same in different face in the crowd, two full face, no two exactly the same physical. Slight differences, extremely rich.

Shot the human photo of the girls, mostly with a high quality and good manners, company clerks, designers, and other white-collar workers, there are some teachers, graduate students, college students and models as well as organ cadres, they have completely independent of the ability to think, They know that “A Dream of Red Mansions”, “easy”, is obscene, touching, filled, or the palace chambers secret things “. Age more than 20-year-old girl, mostly unmarried or newly married, claiming to be photographed is to leave the best of youth as a memento.

The earlier shooting of the body and the commercial success of Guangzhou photographer Dong will beat the human body according to women is roughly divided into four categories: a category is already a mother-woman, she felt that their body to maintain good very proud of; The second category is not yet a mother married women, she felt no chance we do not shoot; The third category is getting married, quickly shoot the women, while control over their, if married must be large to apply to the husband estimated possible without approval. These three women are often influenced by the secular, the shooting is not very relaxed, hurry shots came to an end. The last category is I love to shoot. They have better posture, held on the human body photography to be confident, calm and generous mind, trust the photographer, with the photographer put the graceful movements, and they hate happy. I will abandon the distractions, indulge in light and shade, texture, line and composition, capture the moment that will never forget the good works easily in this type of female body.

I conducted an investigation, are able to accept the vast majority of city girls body photo, and think it is really beautiful, just worried parents to accept do not accept; and some enlightened parents do not oppose his daughter beat the human body; in some literary circles woman to talk, they hold an appreciation of the attitude of human pictorial. The final destination of life is a thing called death, I do not know can not retain the youth in the most beautiful moment when a person is to look back to their own lives in their own twilight. Miss Ann is a medium-sized company’s deputy general manager, talked about why shoot the body photo, Miss Ann frankly said: “I think their bodies, looks very good from the point of view of human aesthetics, the overall shape is better , think that they have 30 years of age, can shoot album, in fact, quite the meaningful, can be used to recall the good old days the young grow old. ”

One to accompany his girlfriend to the photo shoot the boys say, “the curve of the human body in all organisms is the most beautiful, personal photo is an art, so I support her.” The human body is not just an art, to a woman may all lead thought proud.

The Zhen true, the mainland’s first a girl personal nude picture album. For the album, she said: “nudity is not what the scandal, if one day you always get can not read, you can also come up with valuable information for the young beautiful left to tell you, ‘I have also so beautiful’.” What is sexy? is sexy woman characteristics, that is healthy, the sun, like the healthy feel. “” I want to tell the girls, as long as it is beautiful, healthy, and he did not feel distracting, they should be bold to do it. ” “I am not afraid to say anything if someone else must have erotic vision to see that his personal qualities.”

Once popular song, “Woman is the tiger,” many people is it not take the old monk to see the woman’s eyes to look at the “human”? Any kind of popular in the city along with gossip, bell-bottoms, bikini, miniskirt, Lo Shi, underwear, fashion, etc., without exception. More wear in today’s skirt behind the shorter of the phenomenon, in fact, the resurgence of the female gender awareness, women in a patriarchal society where self-liberation.

Foreign photographers that shoot a woman shot if the true colors of her body, it can only shoot a disguised woman. Careful difficult to find, and bills relating to the female theme of the film in international film festivals, and 80% must be involved to the human body. The term “the truth” since the Japanese arrived in China, its meaning has changed, giving a taste of feeling. In many disciplines of the arts, photography is probably the closest to the people. Combination of body art the God of Genesis that moment, their physical faculties, mysterious bones deep freeze people’s awareness and desire to revel many artists from the nude image of the human intake of inspiration, the pursuit of dreamy ideal of the flesh tough and irritating, the art of photography instantly from painting, sculpture and other visual a great step forward in the composition of light and dark interactive, photographers, body enlivened spirituality through the camera upgrade to another sure that the expression of the human abstract traces. A professor on the human body from the point of view of the plastic arts, in nature than the human body is more complex, more subtle, more perfect structure of the human body is the most living organisms, her torso and limbs, and her head and feet, her bony and soft tissue, as well as her creamy skin, covered in beautiful lines, curves, so that the whole body is full of beautiful and rich color, vigorous endless vitality. “In other countries, ordinary people to beat the human body Chiu is a normal thing in a foreign country to steal the store, 10 film, an average of 4 my own body, they view them as ordinary photographs, without any different to their own body photo to enlarge hanging in the living room or bedroom for guests or friends to enjoy, think this is a very proud thing. They love their own bodies, sun, rain love of life, far more than us. In fact, Chinese people also have their own vision, but also to appreciate the human body, but also learn to respect the body art. One of my business boutiques friend told me that painting of a few hundred dollars is often someone who has bought a hundred human album sold is also good. Due to the karma of the history and culture, Chinese people tend to their own ideas very subtle a way of sustenance expressed.

Some people think that shot the human photo photographer as well. In fact, this is a more conservative ideas, ask gynecologist there is no male? A saying that “men and women with the work and not tired,” male photographer more to discover the unique charm of women with their own wisdom and the most touching one, better get a natural, pure, quiet feeling of a human body. Human photographer, Zhang said: “I know I am a male photographer, women like to wear fashion, but more like their bodies, stripped the body of any clothing and accessories lines and undulating light, delicate and feminine, can not help that I do not visibly moved. I feel I am not in the creation of body image, but in the pursuit of the process itself. under different circumstances, different body and life, which shows how different values ​​and life in this process, I am the necessity and significance of their own existence, boring life appears a bright spot, I like to directly face the truth, beautiful women and their bodies, as well as their personality, is the beautiful existence of our human society. “photography division Tang Yonggang, praise, photography, painting, music, dance, body … What a great creation, mesmerizing, relaxed and happy. ”

Someone wrote: As for the so-called “photo” in the end how much “art” ingredients, but also put a question mark. One obvious fact is that even in the West, some of the stars “the truth”, is also a commercial speculation, star strip to make money, businesses to take this money-making, vulgar low-level, Dengerxiazhi uncommon. Moreover, in our case, is nothing more than mere copycat, blind Herd, if the wind flow reach, thinking that a bare “OK”, a take off on the “youth”, both can not say how much artistic fun, but also quite misleading young people suspected of . I do not know this person for abroad, for foreign women to understand the foreign photography how body art (body photography) have their own views? Chinese girl is not mentally retarded, and opening up, China has also become more mature, open to the women of China, more and more opportunities for contact with the outside world, the development of the Internet makes the world a close proximity, they also learned how to rationally rejected and accepted, they will not blindly follow the truth of what people will not become “groupies” loss of self-blind. The Women’s Federation of China would like a few years ago, the pageant did stand up position? Said body photo is not suitable for China, Peking University, students will not like the beauty pageant a few years ago as a declaration, refused to shoot the human body according to? Chinese feminists hold what kind of attitude? Anger? Happy?

Everyone knows portrait photographer has always been the human body photography as a sacred art and pay homage to, they either think or do to the human body photography, both in the realm of art and commercial areas are a serious and solemn. Photographer Xie said that sexy is a woman’s unique body characteristics, if the film of one or a group performance of women’s lack of sexy content, will diminish the appeal of the film, in the shooting of women, the number of ink with some sexy feeling. Grasp on the sexy scale is also very important, too much emphasis on the special area will become the sense of color, a wonderful color feeling is human emotion, but the models and picture visual who may be adversely impact from, however circles. Only a thin line between art and pornography, the viewer is not pay attention will be reduced to obscene vulgar. This is not just afraid of Council, son, but my own aesthetic result. I always try to avoid exposed three points, so that customers can easily accept. This is also the voices of all the photographers.

I know that the body photo in China is not the mainstream of portrait photography, the ups and downs on the body photo, hot cold, right and wrong will continue for some time, but shot the human photo is the urban girl on the self itself and self-worth identity, self-re women shed worldly bondage and shackles in a real ideological liberation. This pursuit of true self bold and courage worthy of our full affirmation.

The three talented photographers have chosen to end their lives when the cause of the most brilliant
Photographer, life, career, talented, ending
The three talented photographers, have chosen to end their lives in the cause of the most glorious moment, leaving the world a long list of sighs and questions. What makes them leave the world in the most extreme way? From their work, perhaps we can read the trace of the answer.

Between illusory and real swing — Diane Arbus

July 26, 1971, Diane Arbus in their own homes swallowed a barbiturate hydrochloric acid, dressed neatly to climb into the bathtub with a blade to cut his own wrists.

Arbus is the most important standard-bearer of American documentary photography, known as the photography of Van Gogh. She was born in a wealthy family, childhood grew up in the greenhouse, but fear the refined mediocre businessman the world. Her persistent concern of marginalized groups, photos, fascinated by the underlying world of the most “ugly”. She forced the public to have to re-examine the “normal” and “not normal”, “moral” and “immoral” and “justice” and “unjust” and “respect” and “violation” of some fundamental issues. In her works, almost every protagonist of a common — eyes, looked directly at the viewer, seems to be pressed people that the riddles of life. Arbus lifetime in between the beautiful unreal and ugly real swing, so that later suffering from severe depression.

Depression tend to have deep links with childhood trauma, but look at Arbus’s life, it seems do not see any obvious imprint. She would be only a traitor. However, probably as a result of writing the “Nanjing Massacre”, exposure to too much negative traumatic events and suffer from depression Iris Chang as Ms., into the hearts of too many freaks, perhaps Arbus produce a trauma infection, ie, the traumatic experience of the others also into the depths of her heart, her pain. What is the truth of the world? May the Arbus be able to answer, However, in addition to countless pairs of memorable eyes leaving enigmatic photos, and photos, all the answers, she brought the other side.

She was the salvation and regeneration winding — 法兰克斯卡 Woodman

The late 1960s, a young photographer 法兰克斯卡 Woodman started to enter the public perspective. But this has just published an album girl, the youngest and most confident in her 22 years of age, years of life, but never in New York East Village residence jumped down, leaving a big question mark in the world.

Woodman life filmed more than 500 works, most of which are self-portraits, she focused on the performance of the body, works showing a moving aesthetic achievements. Good at her through the eyes of women to observe their own bodies, to inform the woman of the world body also has the spiritual strength to break a woman in Western art history has always been just “beautiful”, “false”, “for men only look at rules. The female body dim and strange, integration with the space perfectly, like a ghost-like floating in the world, unspeakable, indescribable, captivating.

In the last years of life, a lot of Woodman’s works convey a metaphor of death, redemption and regeneration. Photos of the entire world is so inexplicable, ineffable, like the water is generally full of uncertainty, what can happen. Life will also be the case. That bathtub photo Woodman lying which was deeply wrapped, leaving only a bunch of black hair floating like a giant question mark. This picture seems to show an image that is the bathtub may be the entrance of another world, she will get stuck. Woodman seems to want to know the other world exactly what kind of? She has the answer from the action.

He is the vultures eyeing children — Kevin Carter

South African photojournalist Kevin Carter never thought he captured this moment of his life will lead to freeze. In 1993, Carter shot in Sudan prairie of the Great Famine, in front of a hungry skinny little girl is struggling to creep food distribution center in the distance a vulture ready to rushed. Carter waiting, hoping the vulture spreading its wings … after 20 minutes, did not wait until this moment you press the shutter.

Since then, Carter’s life such as riding a roller coaster, took him to the glorious life of the vertices of painting called “hunger Sudan” photo won the Pulitzer Prize. But at the same time, engulfed controversy makes him struggling to survive against the odds of the moral conscience. People asked Carter why do not you rescue that poor little girl. In the end, Carter end his own life.

Carter left written records its heartfelt painful struggle: “in a bad mood …… I have been murder, corpses, anger, pain, the memory of the children injured entanglement …”

This photo gave angrily Carter is the vulture picture, the child is a symbol of the suffering people, and Carter’s daughter says father is powerless child, the real world is the vulture. This society there is a phenomenon, when the benefit was because of the suffering of others, would certainly be the curse of the whole society, even if it is not related to the catastrophe reporters. Kevin Carter’s tragedy is here, if he is suffering because of this picture, for example, soldiers hurt by the ravages of a disease, or during the shoot, his fate may be completely different.

Portrait photography is three to grasp the most important of course, is light

Portrait photography is three to grasp the most important of course, is light
Portrait photography, portrait photography, photographer, eyes light
First, a good grasp of light

Photographer proper light, will be able to take full advantage of the inherent exposure latitude of color negative emulsion. Lighting a good portrait, pleasing lighting effects and better color quality, the customer easy to accept, usually able to receive satisfactory results.

Light: the two used to the lights of the lighting of a subject, the total effect, the intensity difference between them is called the light ratio.

This is usually available figures expressed as a ratio. For example: 3:1 ratio refers to the parts of the subject by the total effect of the two light, its brightness by a light area three times. This can also be photometric unit. For example: parts of the high light of 300 ft / candles, the shadow area of ​​100 ft / candlelight. “3:1″ means that does not mean that the aperture differential of 3:1, to point out that, as the following.

Typically, the formation of light than the two light, fill light and main light.

Fill Light: the so-called fill light is usually located in or close to the camera axis line, the overall lighting of the light on the subject, its purpose is to make the shadow of the Ministry of details to get the proper exposure.

Only fill light, the lighting is quite flat. Lighting from the photographic optical axis can not be displayed satisfactory contour or shape of a three-dimensional object. This light can not produce high light, so many photographers with a relatively soft, or more diffuse light source. White reflective umbrella, skylight installations, or large-scale diffuse light is often used as a fill light.

The main light: it is the dominant light in the light cloth, often referred to as the “tone of light” or “modeling light”. These two terms are right, because the main light is indeed decided to “tone” of the scene (high-profile or low key), and its location will produce the outline of the shape formed by the shadows and highlights. Comparatively speaking, such election will be soft and light as a fill light, the more “harsh” light is often chosen as the main light. Parabolic reflector, a small silver reflective umbrella and light will have a flashing light, can be chosen as the main light.

Than: light than the concept of confusion from the light than those figures.

It should be remembered: the parts of the main light is only used for lighting the subject of high light or bright parts, it is not lighting the shadow of the subject site.

Should also be remembered: such as the fill light located above the camera axis line, can lighting lens can see all the high light and shadow part.

The numbers indicate light, refers to the total amount of light exposure in the high light site, and the shaded parts of the ratio of the amount of light. The highlights can also accept the total effect caused by the main light and fill light, shaded only receive the effect of the fill light.

Can understand the inverse square law, and control the right light is not a difficult task.

If a particular light source and the subject distance of 10 feet, the subject light for 100 feet. Candlelight illumination, a distance of 20 feet, the subject by the luminosity?

If your answer is envisaged in the distance has doubled and that the brightness is half – 50 ft / candlelight, then you may have to review the review the inverse square law, because you are wrong! All light in a way to follow the inverse square law pointed out that the light energy descending) increments also ran), the basis of the square of the distance change.

Square is a number multiplied by itself. For example, if the light one foot away from the subject, the subject by the luminosity of the calculation method is: times one equals one, then find the reciprocal of 1/1, or one divided by one, this time the subject by the luminosity of the X (photometric unit). Moved two feet toward the light, the use of formulas, Two times two equals four, seeking its countdown, divided by four, that is the subject of luminosity only 1/4X. Move three feet toward the light, Three times three is nine – that is, by luminosity only 1/9X. Now back to the problems discussed earlier, apply the inverse square law formula – distance multiplied by itself, and then seek its reciprocal – you will be able to determine, at 10 feet, subject to accept the light source 1/100 the amount of light, while the at 20 feet, it only accepts 1/400 the amount of light of the light source. This means that the amount of light only when the distance is doubled, subject to acceptance of the original 1/4.

Second, good grasp of the background

Figure as the main photo, the context of the important relationship between figures and background can reveal the inner world of characters.

From the practice of portrait photography, the background may be a wide variety of planes, the depth of the indoor and outdoor …… how the character portrayed by background of the subject character from the following aspects consider:

A. Choose a background theme Photo Suoyu clarify to shoot pictures of people, the photographer usually has a very clear creative theme, due to the different theme, photography should be in the choice of background depending on the situation, be a reasonable choice. For example, to display the subject’s occupational characteristics, we can to work the scene as a background, and the scene of natural light shooting, and strive to the screen to produce a normal atmosphere, the environment as an important part of the screen, to the environment to set off, with environment to prompt the inner world of characters.

If photos reflect the character’s appearance, temperament, and that the background should be a concise, simple is better, it can greatly strengthen the main characters is very clear, vivid.

In order to portray a good character, personality and artistic achievements, the photographer chose an abstract for the background of this unique background to contrast the characters very prominent and memorable.

Two. Based on the content of the background to choose a different aperture to determine the background content, the manner in which the performance of the background has become a key issue. Specific the manner in which the performance of the background, which depends on the background if the background is an organic whole, the picture, an important part of it can convey a lot of help viewers a subject , it should adopt the practice of small aperture, so that the background detail considerable clarity. If the background is the only tone composition is different from the principal material used as a screen, you can enlarge the aperture, so that in the picture a little ambiguous.

3. Grasp the background in the picture occupied the position of the proportion of background in the picture what the accounting for the number of status as the best, not a requirement, but some principles can refer to. If you shoot a portrait of a performance subject occupational environment, then the background you can use a large, not a big noise Bin won the degree of soil can be pictures of people travel photos monuments appear in the screen, the background share the status can also be as much as possible, avoid the scenery photograph incomplete missing. Also, the film character body like the background should be more in order to avoid a sense of uneasiness, while Paixiong the like according to the head according to background are advised to be less, so that the audience’s attention more focused on the top of the main.

4. Good background to avoid some bad background can play a foil, beautify the role of the subject figure, while a poor background will affect the appearance of the screen. The following are some views are not generally suitable to act as a background in photography:

A. The scene is messy and complicated.

B. Distracting bright color of the scene.

C. With the cool colors of the scene (because when it is reflected to the matter face to be proactive, make the figures show a morbid look).

D. Unusually strong contrast to the scene.

Good grasp of the eyes light

Portraits, regardless of the use of any light source is located in the photo in front and there is sufficient brightness, it will be reflected to the eyes to appear reflective point, which constitutes the eyes light. The reflective display in the eyes, always different in shape, size and location. For example: in the indoor portraits, the light came in from the windows of exposure away from the subject, there will be a bright window of each eye shadow; use the flash on the camera, it will cause small white spots in the eyes of the center; use of reflectors or reflective umbrella, will form a reflective area, and this reflex is usually to one side.

Various eyes light effect is very different. Bright small light pleasant, and a wider range of light appear soft, without lighting the eyes like deep pools. British photographer Gordon. Anderson pointed out that in order to shoot a superb portrait photography, before pressing the shutter, be sure to take into account the eyes of light. So that the subject raised his head slightly or re-arrangement of the light source will be able to determine whether there eyes light. Eyes light should be balanced, you can not make the light in one eye while the other eyes there is no light. To check the generated eyes light source is not in the adequate position of the face in front of the subject, so that it can shine on the eyes and thus will not block the shadow of the nose. If you head to the side of rotation, the eyes light source is preferably also with the rotation. The light source position is not too high, otherwise, the two eyes is not a horizontal line, you may have an eye not shine eyes light.

As eyes light source does not need a strong power, but must pay attention to coordination with the environment. Anderson believes that he would prefer the natural light as eyes light sources. Eyes light indoors, over the shoulders of the best trial windows shone light manufacturing, even if it is not the main light should be so. Outdoors, use reflectors auxiliary flash to be much more natural, especially in close-up photos. Also try to avoid the reflection of the whites on the main light source, it just tasteless glowing white light, will make people’s eyes out of balance.
