Huang Ya: Why should we take pictures?

For photography, let's take a look at some pictures first. It is very difficult to really enter the photography language, so many students, if they are from painting, will always take pictures that constitute the golden section of composition. It is clear that there is no way to get rid of this burden. When can we talk about composition? What's so important about photography? What matters is our personal experience and feelings, and then we can reach the corresponding enlightenment realm, that is, in an instant, we can get the most essential and core things of the object. And the so-called composition, I think it is inevitable. If we see this object, it can really impress ourselves. If we can impress others through this, it is not a composition at all, but inside this object. Like our national geography, there are many pictures, all of which are a very central content. The charm of this content aroused our interest, instead of saying that these compositions we often say have long-term, middle-range and close-range views. I feel that after teaching in the Central Academy of Fine Arts for so many years, no one mentioned composition, but what we really talked about was our image language itself. In other words, what should we do next? We can put a classic thing, a sense of beauty and a truly valuable thing into painting, so many contemporary works have a feeling of painting, but not in composition, but in color and some organizational problems in its creation. From this time on, our photography began, and we really respected ourselves and felt that we were an art that could exist independently. This is the work of American photographer Weston. His contribution is in the form, tone and level of photography, that is, the energy of photography as a technology, as a technology, the focus is here, and then a form and an abstract form. What made me really realize that the concept of photography is very valuable? It is time. This is a French photographer named Brocehn. This was formally put forward by him. This is called the decisive moment. Which means what's the point? At that moment, all the cameras were aimed at everything. At some point, it constitutes a very important set of geometric forms. The geometric form at that time was well organized, which emphasized the importance of that moment. Only then did we know the importance of timeliness in photography. For example, we have some unimportant things at this time. After we pressed the shutter, although this time was fixed, in fact, this photo has been constantly changing since then. What is the change? Why do we insist on that paragraph? The most common photos will also make us very meaningful? It is because photography is different from other paintings, just like this reality, it is a realistic simulation. Analog worlds, that is to say, only photography can provide us with more real information, because they are too close to reality, because its characteristics are too close to reality. Since then, we have drifted with time, and the farther time is taken, the more meaningful we will feel. If you don't believe in yourself, go back and look at your photo album. If we look at some ordinary life photos, we all find these so-called art photos and wedding photos much more interesting. Why? Because what is fixed in this photo is the same, it will always be the same, but at that moment, the reality is constantly changing, which gives us a lot of strange things, that is to say, the farther the time goes, the greater the conflict, the more meaningful it will be, so we need to have a surreal message. At this time, some image language and time appeared. The photographer's personal feelings, personal qualities and their cultural background are all classic photos of the decisive moment. This is brass's. There are some huge scenes below, with some details on them. We found some details from some small details. Feel the general direction, the following language research and exploration. What we need from this environment and individuals, at that moment, is informationization, and what we need is some hints. This is Frant's, and this is an important stage. The present situation in China just doesn't exist and has been shelved, because when we really put forward this independent value in photography, we have just gone through War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, World War II and our liberation war, including the founding of the People's Republic of China and the reform and opening up. During this period, the world has developed rapidly, and the ranks of this class have achieved a lot. This group, which is mainly based on our photographers association, seems to be the same as before, and there is no change. I see that many textbooks are still talking about the composition of photography, which is ridiculous, but I don't see what we really care about. At present, our independent exploration of photographic language has not been established, nor has it begun, let alone developed. Suddenly post-modern art and post-modern photography came in, including many digital things. It is difficult for us to teach students now. As soon as they came in, they talked about how to play creativity, how to play games and how to do some conceptual things. They have not accumulated anything in the language of photography itself, and their accumulation is only in some conceptual things, so I will show you more. I think everyone has seen these two works. Like these photos, there are some implications, and we can interpret them from various angles. For example, like a little girl, she is a very weak life with a large cemetery behind her. We can see that behind this subtle relationship between life and death is a large piece of gloom, but the little girl is very bright. We think this is another way of life or a hint of death. Photography has many meaningful things. This is Brassel, who specializes in shooting at night in Paris. This was taken by Kudka of Czech Republic, this is Ladig, he is a French artist, and this was taken by Delson. This was shot by Blacet in Mexico and this was shot by Cortez in France. These are very famous. This is cortes'. This is a young man from eastern Europe. Everything he shoots is surreal. This is Beppen of France, this is the scene set by him, and this is the artist himself. He used puppets, all images of children, to arrange some childhood games and scenes, and then photographed this scene. This is the result of the final image. At this time, photography has become that we don't come from reality, we can reproduce a scene and a dream in our hearts, and now we have some exploration. But at this time, it is not particularly important. Now, what is more important is the classification of photography. The classification of photography was really put forward by Mr. and Mrs. Bessia. They have studios and trained a large number of contemporary photographers. In fact, this classification began with Augustine Sander (German). This photo is very famous. This photo is taken of three farmers in the countryside. When they went to the city for a dance, they filmed a scene on the road. It is the same form, the same type, the same nature, which puts all the same factors together and forces the audience to find out their differences in the same place through the same content, and produces meaning through this difference. This is the principle of classification. Three farmers, the same hat, wearing the same black clothes, the same crutches, including shoes, are all the same. At first glance, there is not much difference. This is the role of classification. All the same, all a farmer. But as an instinct, we can't look at this picture like this. We must find out the potential differences from the same picture. Let's talk about hats first, as you can see. The hat worn by the man in front is crooked, not particularly serious. The hat worn at the back should be especially cautious and important, and the hat worn in the middle should be slightly suitable. From their hats to their manners, we can see their cultural background from the cigarettes they smoke. The people inside feel a little stiff and serious, and feel that they can't cope with what they are shooting at present, so they are very uncomfortable and nervous. Let's look at the clothes again. The clothes in front are wrinkled. I can see that the clothes are not particularly neat. It can be seen that he doesn't often attend dances. His personal accomplishment shows that he is different among the three people. The man's clothes in it are just made, which is very unsuitable for dancing. The middle is decent, and there is not much outstanding performance. Let's look down again. This person also depends on the type when grasping crutches. People in front don't know how crutches affect people's identity. The man in the back is very nervous. You can see that the man in the middle looks like a person who can use crutches. The following shoes and trousers, including the overall posture, are different. So the purpose of photography classification at that time was already like this. Sander photographed all walks of life, all walks of life and all kinds of people in Germany. His purpose is to classify, and he has already done it, recording everything, but he has not really put it forward. The real proposal was made by Mrs. Besia when she was filming the water tower. This is Mr. and Mrs. Bessia. Their classification is the classification of similar shapes of some water towers. From the classification, he found this type of difference. These buildings are all industrial buildings built during World War I and World War II. This is the cooling tower and the side wall of the building. Classification is another way of saying that this photography system is more real than other paintings, but because it is so real, he often denies this side with the information we recorded. In other words, if this person highlights this point, and then we shoot this side, we will accept this side. We can't know if there's a scar on the back or something. We don't know, because the authenticity of this photography has a negative effect on other aspects. This is a new visual development. In all European and American art photography exhibitions, including China, we can see that the scene is very big. There is a lot of content in the scene, and there are also many small units, and something happened in it. A few people in a small unit can form several stories, and there will be some unexpected things. When we take a look, what really shocks us is the overall atmosphere, and then under the influence of the overall atmosphere, we will still patiently and carefully look at what happened here. From the principle of photography classification, a new viewpoint is derived, which is different from the big scene taken by our wide-angle lens. The object in front is very big and the object behind is very small. This basically looks like it's crowded together, which is completely different. What is this? But use this telephoto, a telephoto of several hundred millimeters, pull it over and spell it with digital technology. The telephoto shows a wide angle, which is a wide angle information, not a telephoto. We know that it is flat, that is, the size is not much different. When the relative distance starts to change, this thing will be crowded together. What are the advantages of crowding together? It is tantamount to aggravating their plot conflict. In any photography, some big scenes are of this type. The same is true of shooting people. Shooting people is the same as shooting water towers. The representative figure at this time is Guski who filmed the Hong Kong stock market. He is a representative figure of this period. There is a very important trend at this time. This is a Canadian photographer, Jack Wolf. He recreates and reorganizes a scene to show us that it is very real, and then the scene feels like something happened in an instant. But this system is organized, and it is impossible for us to happen and find traces of this director's scheduling. This photographer, I think, is a very important person for us orientals. This is a Japanese photographer named Dr. Yamamoto. How was this photo taken? He found a movie and turned on the camera. This is a cinema. After turning on the camera, he began to show the movie. He turned off the camera after the movie. Now we finally see the result that there is nothing in our topic, just a blank. I think his understanding of time and space is exactly the same as our ancient philosophy in China, especially the concepts in Buddhism. To put it simply, everything that happens in the world, whether it is very dramatic or trivial, will become empty after this time, no doubt. We talk about Buddha's empty belief, which is the essence of the world. Many people here study Buddhism. You should know that color is empty, and empty is color. Everything in the world is empty, and this emptiness is the essence of the world. So, what we see here is that he left a blank. To really leave details, what we need to scrutinize is to illuminate these details through the reflection of this screen. What we care about here, what we really expect, what we are interested in, what we don't get, what we want and what we don't want are all presented to us. Some things are about the East, such as China. If we engage in art, I think ancient philosophy like China should provide us with a lot of vast worlds, but no one really does it now. Including the sea, he also took pictures, and the exposure time was long, leaving a very simple pattern. He photographed a lot of the sea, that is, a sky and a sea surface. No matter whether the sea surface is rough or the weather changes, after this time, everything is calm again. In the East, we imagine the world as a whole, and so does the concept of harmony between man and nature. That's what I'm talking about now. Why are we taking pictures today? Now not only photography, but also other media. It feels as if we are getting farther and farther away from our life and our society, and more and more people are playing some games. In this case, we don't know much about the current state of art, so if you say it, you feel a little incredible. Where is the mainstream of art now? The mainstream is in 798, not in the camera association. We used to be a subject, but now we are marginalized, and many problems have occurred in it. Now let's look at the present situation of contemporary art in China. This belongs to the world, this belongs to China and this belongs to the United States. I can't stand it if we browse the works. I used to like it very much and thought it was very creative. I have seen it now, but I don't want to see it again. I think we are far from the real art circle, and the people here are kind. This is China's job. Look, these works are good and bad. Look at yourself, I feel something is wrong. These artists are all my very good friends. Why are there these problems? I dare not say this question before, because I know something, but I don't want to be confused. It can be seen that there are many reasons. We see that contemporary art, including photography, is bloody, very violent, abnormal, chaotic and very vulgar. It's strange to see it. They said it was artistic and emotional. But I think this is a very dangerous thing, and it is really a very dangerous thing for a country and a nation. Why is this happening? The reason is simple, not artistic. Art is only a superficial reason. The real reason is external consciousness. What model does our internal change use? Use the market model. This is very simple, and it is also very simple to change. Some people may not know what this is. What China is seeing now is that the situation in the former Soviet Union is the same as that in Russia. That is to say, there are many artists in China who are very popular in new york and have a market in the west. In the 1980s, a group of artists from the Soviet Union were also very popular in new york, as they are now. I think it goes without saying that you all know. He used this market model to induce these artists. If you conform to our national consciousness, our spirit and our philosophy, you can sell your works. If you don't line up, there's nothing you can do. Under the guidance of this situation, everyone does this. In addition, the biggest feature is that you must be different. You can be irresponsible and promiscuous. As long as you are different, you can sell money. Under this kind of encouragement, contemporary art has formed this result. But our country can also do this, but there is no way, we can't do it. Because of what? Because it is difficult to set up a group to deal with a nation, if a nation corresponds to a nation, I think it is ok, but if we feel that one interest group is dealing with another interest group, we lack a sense of identity, so at this time, we have no choice. So the final result appeared 798. Photographers' Association, as the main body of our national consciousness in the past, has no choice at all, because our system is a service group and a propaganda group, which is too direct. There is no turning point, and there is no room for artistic development. It has not changed for decades. You can look at the purpose of the Photographers Association. It hasn't changed at all. In fact, I really want to be a photographer, but when I look at the purpose of the Photographers Association, I flinch. People ask me if you are a photographer. In my opinion, we must establish the same market operation, that is, don't spend money on groups and research institutions, which are idle people. Teacher Wu Guanzhong once said that the system is a problem. Those that truly conform to the national spirit and culture will be purchased and collected, so that some galleries will form a benign market operation. I believe that truly valuable works of art are also liked by the people and can be understood by the people. Everyone knows that they like it from top to bottom. Now that I read it, I dare not say I don't know. At best, it is quite characteristic and thoughtful, for fear that people will say that you have no culture. If you admit it, I don't understand. What's the big deal? I don't understand. I don't like it. Let's speak according to our conscience. I talked to many friends, and they all said I couldn't understand this thing. Can you tell me? I said I told you, I don't understand at all. Why are we taking pictures? This is the previous question, and I want to talk about it. We have the camera, and we want the camera to move. This is consciousness. We take pictures to do things. What should we do? What should we do to do meaningful things, valuable things, and things that our own people like? So there are many different views on the purpose of taking pictures. Art is for enjoyment, this is a view, art is for fame and fortune, this is what we just said, money will run away, and I don't know if this work will let my parents kill me after seeing my brother. There is another kind of art for the sake of art, which seems to have been put forward a long time ago, but I think all these artists who engage in art think so. This is what I like to shoot. This is my greatest interest. You can make yourself comfortable. Art for fame and fortune is a phenomenon of 798, which is why many artists are worth hundreds of millions, and there are many hot money rolling around in it. For the sake of art, art is a contributor. At least in the process of exploration, new artistic language can be created. If this language is unattractive and has no purpose, it is really art for art's sake. I think this role is limited. This kind of person is called heartless. Why do we engage in art is actually very simple. As we said before, a person who lacks a sense of responsibility and mission in photography, is rigid in thinking, mediocre in art and not creative can't become an artist. Perhaps after decades of scenery, this society can allow you to exist, but society will not value you and will not choose you. This is a historical issue. I picked up Chairman Mao's Speech at Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art that day. Chairman Mao's speech at that time seemed to be there at that time. It really seems to be around 798. That's great. Go back and have a look if you don't believe me. I'm not party member, but I'm serious. How to establish our culture in China has a long history and is profound. This space is very large, and I especially like photography. We haven't started to act yet, and we haven't really faced up to this problem. Let's just follow the money. People say that there is a pile of gold in the east, and a lot of it will follow, so no one will think about it. Where is our own artistic direction? Where is the value? We don't know what we want to do, so let's look back and see what our art is for. For thousands of years, our ancestors put forward that the purpose of art is simple, that is, "to educate and help others." This has been the purpose of art for thousands of years, but now we are basically breaking the enlightenment and disorderly human relations. I am serious. You'll know when you get into 798. If their artists listen to me, they can't wait to come up and punch me. What is really important in our East? The most important thing is to maintain our lives and live well. We should have a better life. There are many levels and aspects, that is, how to live more wonderfully and hierarchically. In our artistic realm, we talk about the beauty of life from five aspects. When it comes to the overall beauty of life and the harmony between man and nature, I think everyone knows better than me. I just focus on it. You are all experts, but you are a little interested in photography. So I ordered it today. It includes two aspects, one emphasizes the harmony between man and nature, and stresses the blending of scenes. On the other hand, the real beauty in life is enough to show our true feelings and real things. There is Wang Yangming's unity of knowledge and action. When we look at this thing, it means that when we see it and the emotions work, we will know and do it. Life creates beauty. Where does this beauty come from? In our Tao Te Ching, Tao and nature, man and earth, earth and heaven, heaven and earth, Tao and nature. Our highest wisdom, in China, should be the wisdom of Buddhism, Apdoro, three benefits and three bodhis, supreme consciousness and supreme wisdom. And the beauty of life forms. The photographic composition I just said. At this time, we walked out of photography, not only sticking to a few decisive moments in our photography, but also sticking to several shots, several wide angles or several colors. Instead, we integrated photography with nature, nature and heaven and earth, and we presented its most authentic, wonderful and valuable side, so our ancestor Confucius opposed this kind of thing thousands of years ago in 798. Strangely enough. The famous painter Huang said that painting is mainly about getting rid of evil, sweetness, vulgarity and laziness. Evil is evil, the opposite of right and wrong. Sweetness has no creativity and no depth. Just like a famous postcard, you photographed the sunset, where the lotus blooms. It's really boring What's the point of filming that? There is nothing valuable, new or vulgar! Vulgarity means no realm, too vulgar. Even abnormal people, who have gained these reputations, will do even more abnormal things, either taking pictures of hair salons, brothels or taking pictures of mental disorders for others. What's the point? It's really boring. What's the photographer's purpose? First of all, this person should establish a sense of mission. Needless to say, lazy, it doesn't matter, just pat and play, I like it, there is no insight, and then I have to show the beauty of life. What should we do to truly understand the beauty of life? It's simple. We in China are all told to act according to our conscience, that is to say, to speak from the heart. If we want to grasp the essence of this life, we must return to our hearts, and then constantly improve our inner level through our practice and rectification. Just like Buddhism, we will first raise the level from words to knowledge, and then we can discover the different nature of life. If we dozed off like the Buddha, the Monkey King would have been trapped under a rock for 500 years. If you look at it this way, the world must be empty. Needless to say. In a blink of an eye, 500 years have passed on the Monkey King. How did this happen? So everyone sees the change of the world at different levels is completely different. Therefore, if we want to make a wonderful movie, to make a movie that will impress others, and to bring happiness and wisdom to ourselves, we must start from the heart. This is called being born from the heart and being born at will. My lecture today is over, thank you! Huang Ya: This is my work when I was a graduate student. This is a frog's. What is my mentality at this time? You can totally see what is spontaneous. I used to be a soldier of the Armed Police when shooting this. I have to make a report when I get married. Here, I think people originally set up such an order and system for their own convenience or better survival, but this order is too big and will hinder our freedom, that is, we can see our dissatisfaction from this picture. We are called cynics. "Very good? "This is the parrot's shelf, and now it's a frog. What did you say?/Sorry? Does it taste good？ Definitely not. It's not a pet. Someone put it there. This is "clearance". We want to do something. If we want to do it, you can see what the frog did. It must pay the price. This is "permission". Two frogs can also be anthropomorphic. The relationship between them is a very relaxed and free emotion. This is "feasible", but this is a cage. These things were just so at the time. That's what I think, that's what I think, and this is the result of filming. This is another stage and a batch of creations. Knowing the cause and effect, I'm going to hell. I used an accident to warn the world. I didn't want to see any of these movies before. This is a new shot, taken this year. I said this is a cornfield. This cornfield lasts from noon to sunset at night, and then it is connected. One is a matter of time, the other is my own state. His name is "Continuous Smile", which is about the continuation of a state. The sun will come out at night, and it will rise again tomorrow, constantly changing. I hope my smile will last forever, and I hope everyone's smile will last forever. " The prospect of the weak ",we looked at two people, two women, and enjoyed it. The house is an oriental house, and two people are two foreigners. Now we want to live in the west, and everyone wants to make money and travel. We have many ideas. I think this prospect is very weak, so the financial crisis happened. This is the "melancholy pessimist". Now people who study Buddhism should all know this thing. The direction of our study of Buddhism is to get rid of life and death. However, before reaching the other shore, we saw a bad situation and were very depressed. This kind of worry is getting bigger and bigger, and it grows up in the process of continuous growth and practice. We can see this corn, when it grows up, when we are most worried, so here, this is. This is a chimney. You should see that this chimney is constantly releasing troubles and life is growing. Worry and hope are competing with each other, which is also the reason for our melancholy, because we are practitioners, not enlightened people, nor ordinary people. Here are some small scenes, hoping to bring some Zen in them. This is my latest work and my favorite. I am the most iconic thing. Back to oriental aesthetics. This is chrysanthemums, all chrysanthemums. I believe you will like it after reading it. These are some photos of China people. I like them very much. I take pictures of these people and give them. They are very happy. It's a bit like National Geographic. There are many wonderful photos. Interactive question: 1. Ask the teacher hello, I want to ask, I don't know much about vulgarity. Because lotus is particularly vulgar, I think many people like it You just said you shoot chrysanthemums and shoot the most beautiful side back and forth. How do you explain this? Is this vulgar, too? Huang Ya: Generally speaking, it's hard to say that a person has a good film, but I said that, on the whole, the chrysanthemums I shoot should be different from the lotus flowers that ordinary people shoot. I believe that when this light is turned off, you can see that it is not like that. It is a universal beauty, not a pure beauty without reservation. 2. Question Hello, I want to ask, I just saw some works, and it seems that there are many post-productions, such as chimneys and old corn. If there are many post-productions, is it a photographic work? Huang yaxuan 3. What is the relationship between the proportion of questions? Answer: I have been talking about this question now. We don't think it's a problem if we find it out from photography. If we are photographers, this is a problem. I hope we can find it and get it out, and our vision will be broader. 4. Question: 1 1 month, a letter of apology appeared in National Geographic magazine, saying that two photos of1month were combined. National Geographic magazine said that it opposes any post-synthesis photos. Do processed photos count as photography? It's up to you. What do you think of composite photos? To answer this question, you should ask our editor in chief. This is based on the authenticity of your magazine. I think it's a functional thing, which is different from article 5. Ask the teacher, I want to ask, what kind of attitude do we take to some abnormal performance art now? The answer should be that we have an attitude, but no action. Our society is big and tolerant, but we will have choices in our hearts. Should be selective. History will make a choice. Chinese national geography member club 2008. 1 1
