Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 251 Potential Consensus

The selection process was very hurried, and the judges only read three albums in half a day.

After the staff distributed the lunch boxes to the judges' rooms, everyone began a short lunch break.

In the afternoon, before Ryan woke up from his nap, he was frightened by the knock on the door and stood up straight from the bed.

"Damn, it's time for the selection again." Although the air conditioner in the room kept cooling, Ryan still felt stuffy.

There was a sultry fire in his heart, and he felt that this kind of review work was simply torturing his nerves.

It seems that he is really old and can no longer stand such closed work.

"Let me see which unlucky guy it is!" He muttered and took the photo album from the staff, but he didn't expect it to be very heavy.

"Which book is this?" Ryan opened the paper bag, and the corner revealed was the one he was most familiar with.

"Wow! The decisive moment! You're finally here!" Upon seeing this, Ryan immediately put aside his anger and became excited instead.

What kind of psychology is this?

If we compare it with the situation in the novel, then this album is about the protagonist who has always hidden his strength. On the field where all the heroes gather, he finally shows off his full strength, which is very exciting.

Ryan also read this kind of novel when he was a child. He still remembers how he cheered for the protagonist as a child and felt proud of the protagonist's strength.

The mood now is very similar to that then.

Because he loved this album from the bottom of his heart and was optimistic about this album, subconsciously he hoped that this album would become the best album this year and prove himself again.

Kind of like a fanboy, but Ryan is a little more sensible.

And the reason why he is so sincere is because this photo album is a perfect summary of photography. The photos he takes in daily life have actually always followed this rule, but no one has ever defined it.

Now that Chen Pingsheng has put forward the theory of "Decisive Moment", it naturally makes him feel more intimate. The more popular this book is and the higher its status, the more orthodox and valuable Ryan's photography techniques are.

But because of this, "The Decisive Moment" has caused a lot of controversy, because many people are unwilling to give up this "definition power."

Especially many experienced photographers will feel that they have proposed similar theories before, and Chen Pingsheng simply mixed several definitions together and published them.

Ryan would always laugh when he heard such remarks. If the summary was so simple, why didn't anyone come up and summarize it before? They had to wait until this young oriental man made a photo album and released it before speaking like an afterthought.

However, such remarks gradually disappeared after Chen Pingsheng launched it. The exhibition "This is also the decisive moment" was simply too classic, and it immediately raised the whole thing to the level of art, even those who opposed the decisive moment. , and cannot fight back effectively.

Because their artistic level is obviously at a higher level, any photos you post are just humiliating yourself.

Ryan opened the photo album while recalling the turmoil of the past few months.

They were still familiar photos. He had looked at these photos more than once. He could even recite the composition and content of the first few photos without even looking at them.

"Look, these photos are perfect."

John was also looking through the photo album, but his focus was on the content of the photos.

Many people criticize "The Decisive Moment" for being more formal than substantive, but John just thinks this is nonsense. If you look at the content without looking at the composition, what is shown in these photos is very worthy of interpretation.

For example, the little boy who looks like a general returning from victory, with the soy sauce bottle in his hand like a medal of honor, easily reminds the viewer of all the words related to the winner.Another example is the photo of the little girl looking up at the sky in a strange posture. It shows a lot of blank space and room for interpretation.

If you are willing to savor it carefully, you can figure out a lot of interesting things.

John considers The Decisive Moment to be a perfect masterpiece of fun, cinematography and surreal art.

So he wrote down a perfect score of 10 on the paper without hesitation.

"7 points."

Brad and the two have different views. He believes that this photo album does not reflect humanistic care. Although it is of great significance to the photography community, it does not seem to be important to the world.

He prefers the thinking shown by Chen Pingsheng in "The Crow", his thinking about the human world and his thinking about industrialization.

But he didn't see it in this album now.

Therefore, he lowered it a few points from this perspective. After all, other than that, there was nothing wrong with it.

With perfect composition and enough room for interpretation, this is indeed a rare masterpiece.

Brad felt that even if he gave a low score, this album would be the ultimate winner.

He had a Don Quixote mentality at this time, knowing that he couldn't do anything, but he still wanted to become a knight who blocked the windmill.

After the judges finished scoring and submitted the works, the staff found that their speed this time was obviously faster than in the morning.

It is obviously the time in the afternoon when the mind is most sleepy, and since it is an album of more than 100 photos, it stands to reason that the grading speed should be very slow.

But on the contrary, it shows that everyone is so familiar with this work that they can comment without having to watch it.

While the selection work was in full swing, Mr. Erikson was also making his final efforts.

The selection process for all the grand prizes in the competition will finally come to the organizing committee.

Each of the seven members of the organizing committee can give their own score for the work. These scores are anonymous. When they are gathered together, they will be calculated into an average score.

The average score plus the total score of the judges is the final score of the work.

It seems that the organizing committee does not have much authority. After all, the seven of them can only be regarded as one additional judge, but there is a lot of room for maneuver.

If several people discuss it well, they can work together to score very low scores and lower the average score.

For example, if four people all scored 4 points, but three people scored 10 points, the average score would become 0 points.This undoubtedly greatly limits the overall score of the work. You must know that many times, the difference between the first and second scores is just a few tenths of a point.

But since the founding of Gesai, such a thing has not happened. In other words, everyone has obvious differences in opinions, so it is difficult to unify.

But a certain contestant in this competition faced a very serious problem.

His identity, his age, his radical photographic ideas in the eyes of some, and the future possibilities he represented, all made many people feel threatened.

This will be the reason for their consensus.
