Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 237 Fierce situation! (Wan Geng 34)

"Aren't you going to refute them?" Huang Liao asked while scrolling through his phone on the way back to the hotel.

"What's the refutation?" Chen Pingsheng turned around and asked.

"These are the photographers who are anti-decisive moments." Huang Liao naturally has a foreign version of the film industry, and you can see the comments above.As for herself, she was very angry at those guys' arrogant remarks.

She feels that this is simply a kind of discrimination, a kind of discrimination based on race, region, and age.

In fact, there are no very famous photographers among those who refuted the decisive moment, but there are indeed many photography internet celebrities and emerging photographers, as well as some unknown older photographers.

Holding high the title of Freelance Photography, they lash out at those who think the decisive moment is good.

This has led to the scolding war between the two sides now continuing to intensify.

"How to refute? Photographic interpretation itself is free. If I ignore them, they will just beat the snake stick and pester them endlessly." Chen Pingsheng got to know each other for a long time, and naturally he knew how boring and shameless this group of people were.

But if he ends up, it will become an endless quarrel, where the public is right and the wife is right, and he doesn't want to turn photography into a debate.

Huang Liao also knew that this was true, so he did not continue to speak out.

But when the two of them walked to the door of the hotel, she suddenly said again: "What if we use photography?"

Chen Pingsheng stopped, as if some inspiration flashed through his mind.

"You keep talking."

He turned his head, leaned on the railing, and looked at Huang Polygonum.

Huang Liao thought for a while and said, "What if we use photography to tell those people that what they said is wrong?"

"Yes, that's it." Chen Pingsheng clapped his hands and affirmed: "This is what I need."

Huang Liao's short words suddenly gave him a very bold idea, an idea that was shocking enough, and an idea that was absolutely unexpected by everyone.

"I know how to deal with them." Chen Pingsheng smiled, and the helplessness on his face had disappeared.

"Really? Can you tell me?" Huang Liao was very curious and looked at him with wide eyes.

Unexpectedly, Chen Pingsheng waved his finger: "We can't say it yet, it won't work if we say it."

"Okay, but can I participate?" Huang Liao was a little eager to give it a try.

"Of course, we will start doing this when work is over tomorrow."

After saying that, Chen Pingsheng looked at the lights above the hotel and continued to walk forward.In just one day after he posted his reply, a large number of photography influencers began to raise questions about the matter.

"First of all, I have read the book "The Decisive Moment."" Stavin Barron, a well-known Internet celebrity who specializes in criticizing photography, pointed to the recently sold photo album in the photography circle in his video.

"Then I want to say that this actually implies a trap. Yes, you heard it right, a trap!"

"That's it: I think content and form are not separated. Form is a rigorous organization of the interaction of planes, lines and tones. Brothers, two words of evaluation, shit!" Stavin Barron made his own The most classic gesture is a thumbs down.

At the same time, his words were not forgiving at all: "Chen first defined photography as content and form inseparable, but photography is free. Why can't a single shooting content or a single shooting form be used? Even if the photos he took , the shadows and light under those urban buildings, don’t they abandon the content and focus on the form?”

"So he's contradicting himself."

"More importantly, he solidified photography. I have asked many people who have read this photo album, and they all think this is what photography looks like in their minds. If they shoot in the future, they will follow this method. Basically Not realizing that my thoughts were fixed in one place.”

"This will lead to more and more people in the future following this decisive moment, and the things they take will tend to be the same."

Stavin Barron said passionately: "This is a completely wrong concept!"

"Fart! Stavin is just alarmist!" Fosken retorted in a video posted on his channel: "He is simply misunderstanding what Chen means. Whatever aesthetic principles you have, you will get the decisive moment that you think is perfect. . This is the most important sentence in the preface, and as mentioned before, Chen is only defining this work, not other works."

"Many bloggers just make it up on purpose just to get hot spots! I think this photo album is great because it points out a clear path for all new photographers. As long as you follow this way, you can easily gain a sense of accomplishment. And then keep at it.”

“If you have a new aesthetic in the future, you may no longer use this rule, but the thinking and composition abilities it brings to you will benefit you throughout your life.”

Fosken excitedly waved the album in his hand and said, "Don't be led astray by others. You must read this album."

"After watching this, you will fall into the trap of the Orientals!" The first sentence of Jha, a red-necked blogger, was alarmist: "Freedom belongs to the United States, and photography also belongs to the United States! This was invented by the United States, and we are the orthodox. Don’t be deceived by the words of the Orientals!”

"I can't imagine what kind of impact these works and words will have on our children when they spread to our children. Moreover, Eastern photography has only been developed for a few years. Look at their works, they are a mess."

"Even winning the qualifying award doesn't prove anything because we have won more of this award."

"To correct Jha's wrong statement, photography originated in France. Also, photography is art and has no borders. We cannot look at other people through colored glasses. This is naked racial discrimination. If you look at someone today If a black man says that, I'm sure you're going to get a subpoena from the court."

A Chinese-American brother, Bruce Yang, also posted a video to refute.

"Chen's artistic attainments are recognized. Although he is still very young, our photographer's vision is unmistakable. Whether it is "The Crow" or "The Decisive Moment", they are both excellent works and are destined to be spread in the photography world. A classic. It should not be denigrated or misinterpreted."

"We can't blame an artist for things that don't exist! He just wants all newcomers to understand photography better, not to solidify photography."

Bruce Yang raised his eyebrows: "And to be honest, the photography industry used to be an unchanging backwater, and who cared about its life and death. It was Chen's work that changed this status quo and gave the photography community a degree of discussion."
