Wei Deyun's related reports

Chongqing University News Network reported Wei Deyun's portrait photography exhibition.

Wei Deyun is an outstanding portrait photographer in China. His works have been highly praised by many people: Mr. Ji Xianlin called him a "real photographer"; Mr. Zhang Dainian wrote that his photography "can be vivid"; Mr. Zhou thinks that he is "shooting with his life to capture the essence of the characters". "Vivid" is Mr. Zhang Dainian's exquisite summary of Wei Deyun's photographic characteristics. In the center of the exhibition hall, a masterpiece "Wonderful Hands" can best reflect this point-Mr. Ji Xianlin was sitting at his desk when the little white Persian cat suddenly jumped on his shoulder. Ji Lao, who was attacked by this "raid", has a peaceful expression and a smile, without surprise or anger. Just like Wei Deyun said, this moment was captured by intuition, capturing the personality style and love of the old man Ji. In the article "From a Photo of Mr. Wei Deyun" written by Ji Lao himself, there is also a sentence like this: "I not only believe in China's traditional concept of" harmony between man and nature "for thousands of years, but also" stick to it ",at least subconsciously." It is precisely because of this self-restraint that Ji Lao won the respect of everyone, including Wei Deyun. On the left of Ji Lao is the portrait of China philosopher Zhang Dainian. Wei Deyun is good at capturing everyone's uniqueness. Through this photo that feels' forward', you can feel both introverted and broad-minded characteristics. Zhang Lao's life is quiet and has a lot of character. He always reveals the ideal personality of China traditional literati, that is, the combination of vigor and generosity. The portrait of Mr. Zhong Jingwen, a master of folklore, is a peaceful smiling face. Wei Deyun said with emotion: "Zhong Lao has a more peaceful mind than ordinary people. He thanks you for everything you have done for him. I took pictures of his old man's house, and he not only cooperated, but also remembered to reimburse me for the shooting expenses. You don't know what to pry in front of him.

Mr Wei is very humorous. Focusing on the stories behind celebrities, he vividly reproduces the bitterness and tears of a generation of cultural masters before their success, and enlightens the confused students. The atmosphere of each exhibition is extremely warm, and students actively interact and are deeply loved by teachers and students.

Cultural Network of Self-Silence —— Reading Wei Deyun's Photography

On the Internet of Self-Silence CultureReading Wei Deyun s Photographs;

Approaching the sublime, Wei Deyun will hold a photo exhibition recently. The theme of these four words is worth thinking about. We all use words like "sublime" and "noble", but what does the word "high" mean? I think the so-called "Gao" is metaphysics, spiritual life, and the realm of Tao far beyond the level of "Qi". The greater the spiritual content of a person's life, the higher it is. People who live in the land of rice and salt with the heart of ice and snow and exist in the real and tired secular world should be more ideal and romantic.

Most of Wei Deyun's lens targets are big cultural people, which reflects their ordinary and extraordinary, ordinary and extraordinary. Contact with big cultural people requires opportunities, standards and quality. Wei Deyun felt the joy of thinking movement and spiritual existence in his communication with them. It was not easy to convey this feeling through the lens and convey the virtue and personality charm of a great cultural person he felt, but he did it.

The technical difficulty of photography mainly lies in the use of light. Wei Deyun's skill is fully demonstrated in the use of light. He talked quietly with the object and waited for the opportunity. It might just be a flash of light. He captured that it is the product of the combination of subjective and objective, and the life of the object can be fully reflected and realized in the pure natural light floating in the scene. He doesn't need a flash, for fear that mechanical flash will break people's inner world, make the picture lose its three-dimensional sense and disturb the quiet weight. The change of light and shadow needs a keen grasp, and the collision of two heart fields can make the picture appear in the lens with shocking power.

Facing the secular world, people's mentality is easy to be impetuous, and there are also misunderstandings in aesthetics. Wei Deyun is thinking about how to make accidental shots retain eternal charm. He must get rid of all other thoughts and get lofty information, otherwise, he will not be able to create a field of harmonious communication with the subject. Zhong Jingwen, Jin Kemu, Ji Xianlin, Wen and Zhou are all intellectuals. To establish a harmonious field with them, we need to achieve goodwill, respect and understanding in contact, otherwise, it will become illusory to embody the spiritual essence. It is not an easy link to mobilize their emotions. He wanted the atmosphere at the scene to break the limitations at that time. He felt that the shot to be taken was not just in front of him; He seems to be in the crowd, and they are at different levels. He had to wait until they shouted at the same time before he could press the shutter. This is a unique, independent and eternal symbol, which has been scanned and filtered in countless information sets and he has got it.

Only bad photographers, no bad themes. The taste and accomplishment of photography must be obtained through diligence, and personal gains and losses cannot be ignored. With superb aesthetic consciousness and photographic experience, Wei Deyun has gained more confidence, opportunities and masterpieces. He has his own opinions and can get his own satisfactory works according to his own feelings. He doesn't want other people's aesthetic standards to affect his aesthetic attitude. When he shows the developed photos to the people in the picture, they are often surprised: "Is this me?" It is photography that makes them know themselves again and find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Portrait photography, like portrait oil painting, is valued in the west and is a symbol and pride of family and identity. Such traditional habits are not recognized by most of us. In this way, many years have passed, and many people have not left a decent portrait photography, only a bunch of photos without personality. Good photos stimulate people's self-confidence and adjust their mentality. Wei Deyun said that he wants to change people's ideas and let more people know themselves again, full of self-confidence and the strength of survival.

No matter what form of art, it is the most perfect that can reflect the essence and truth. In a photo, it reflects the historical era, life reality, spiritual strength and inner thoughts, stimulates people's yearning for a beautiful existence and helps people recall precious times.

The report of Guangming Daily

People who have seen Wei Deyun's portrait photography say that there is a spiritual power in his works, which can see people's inner world.

1997 One autumn day, Wei Deyun went to Peking University to visit Mr. Ji Xianlin. Mr. Wang was sitting at his desk when Mao Mao, the naughty little Persian cat, suddenly jumped onto his shoulder from the bookshelf behind him. Ji Lao, who was attacked by this "raid", did not have a trace of panic, but still had a peaceful expression, smiling and fearless. Wei Deyun used his camera to freeze this moment with extraordinary intuition and agility. This song "Ji Lao and Cat" has been well received by all parties. Mr. Jin Kemu summed up this work as "Harmony between Man and Nature", saying that it captured Ji's personality style and his love for things. Mr. Ji also wrote a sentence in the article "Starting from a photo of Mr. Wei Deyun": "I not only believe in China's traditional concept of" harmony between man and nature "for thousands of years, but also" stick to it ",at least subconsciously." After seeing this work, Jia Pingwa wrote an inscription for Wei Deyun excitedly: "A moment lasts forever".

"Recording its shape will convey its god, and conveying its god will write its heart." This is the basic creed of Wei Deyun's artistic creation. He told reporters: "What we want to capture in the camera is not only a person's external image, but a person's inner feelings and thoughts."

In Wei Deyun's lens, the subject is "thoughtful", with strong feelings and distinct personality. He is good at talking and communicating with the subject before shooting, and is good at using the natural light of the scene to achieve the greatest harmony between people and scenery, light and shadow. At the moment of pressing the shutter, the personality, temperament and charm of the subject are fixed as eternity.

Recently, the famous film director Wu and Wei Deyun made friends. Wu believes that portrait photography is an intuitive expression and continuation of human spirit, and it is also the most difficult art to master as an artist. He said that he would learn the art of portrait photography from Wei Deyun.

Professor Peking University and philosopher Zhang Dainian once wrote an article specially for Wei Deyun, which said: "Photography is an art, just as painting is an art, painting pays attention to vividness, and the highest realm of painting is vividness; Photography should also be vivid and show a person's inner world. But it is not easy to be vivid in photography. Wei Deyun's photography ability is vivid. "

At noon in February, 200012000, Wei Deyun came to the home of essayist Hou Yanbei with a camera to take pictures of Hou Lao, who was never photogenic or fond of taking pictures. In just a few minutes, Wei Deyun found the feeling and said excitedly: "Well, there is a god! I am fascinated! " Say and leave in a hurry. That night 1 1: 30, Wei Deyun came to Houzhai again and brought the newly developed samples. Seeing the proofs, Hou Yanbei blurted out: "I have never taken such a good photo in my life!" "

"Late at night, I put this belated portrait exhibition on my desk and thought it was my true expression." Hou Yanbei wrote in the article "Portrait of Being Late", "I know that this expression of mine has only appeared by chance in the middle of the night, when I think of the past, when I want to cry, laugh, surge of emotion and miss the Millennium. Only I can understand my attitude. "

Over the years, Wei Deyun has formed his own unique style in the field of portrait photography and made outstanding achievements. He used his "heart" to capture people's most elegant moments. People love his works, and experts praise his works. They think that the greatest feature of his works is "writing the soul"-they can show a person's fresh soul with a solidified image, and they fight for the lofty soul.

Wei Deyun, male, 1957, from Xi. /kloc-at the end of 0/970, the innocent and virtuous mother died in a hurry due to illness. At the time of her funeral, the whole family couldn't find her mother's portrait. In the end, they could only find her old man's appearance from a very inconspicuous photo and took a corner to temporarily organize it into a portrait. My mother, who worked hard all her life, did not leave a personal portrait. This kind of regret left a deep mark on Wei Deyun's young mind. Wei Deyun, who just entered junior high school, has been determined to master the art of photography since then, taking spiritual portraits for more parents and the public in the world, so that his regrets will not repeat themselves. Since then, he has formed an indissoluble bond with photography.

Looking back on the original focus on portrait photography, Wei Deyun was deeply touched: "Life is short. Only a lifelike portrait can record the mark left by a life in this world and realize the eternal record of human spirit in an instant." Nowadays, Wei Deyun has strengthened his belief more and more: "The existence value of my photography art lies in using the camera in my hand to discover the neglected and forgotten beauty of human nature and provide a spiritual pillar and strength for people's survival;" Leave irreplaceable spiritual wealth for the country, society and future generations.
