Traditional thinking of human photography

Some people think that it is better to find a female photographer to take a portrait of the human body. Actually this is a conservative concept. Is there a male gynecologist? There is a saying that "men and women are not tired from work". Male photographers can use their wisdom to discover the unique charm and the most touching side of women, and they can get a feeling of natural, pure and quiet human beauty. Zhang Wen, a body photographer, said, "I know I am a male photographer. I like women who wear fashion, but I prefer their bodies. I strip off any clothes and accessories, and the lines and ups and downs in the light are exquisite feminine. I can't help but be moved. I feel that I am not creating people's image, but pursuing the process itself. Different environments, different postures and different lives reveal different values and lives. In this process, I feel the necessity and significance of my existence, and my boring life has a bright spot. I like to face the truth itself. Beauty and their bodies, as well as their personalities, are the beautiful existence of our human society. " Photographer Tang Yonggang praised "photography, painting, music, dance, human body ... this is really a great creation, fascinating and refreshing."

Someone wrote that it is worth asking how many artistic elements there are in the so-called photos. It is an obvious fact that even in the west, the photos of some stars are a kind of commercial speculation. Stars take off their clothes to make money, and businesses use this to collect money. Vulgar and inferior people abound. What's more, in our place, it is nothing more than imitating the East and blindly chasing the wind. If the wind is flowing, it thinks that nudity is beautiful and young, which is neither artistic nor misleading to young people. I wonder if this person knows about foreign countries, foreign women and foreign photography circles, and has his own views on body art (not to mention body photography)? Girls in China are not mentally retarded, and the open China has become more and more mature. Open China gives women in China more and more opportunities to contact the outside world. With the development of Internet, the world is close at hand, and they also learn how to reject and accept rationally. They will no longer blindly listen to anyone's truth, become "groupies" and lose themselves blindly. Will the China Women's Federation stand up and take a stand like the beauty pageant a few years ago? It is said that body portrait is not suitable for China's national conditions, and the female student union of Peking University will not issue a statement refusing to take a body portrait like the beauty pageant a few years ago? What is the attitude of feminists in China? Anger? Are you happy?

Who knows that portrait photographers in China always worship human body photography as a sacred art, whether thinking or doing human body photography, whether in art or business, they are serious. Photographer Mo Xie said that sex appeal is a unique physical feature of women. If a film or a group of films that show women are not sexy, the attraction of the film will be weakened. So when I shoot women, I feel sexy. It is also important to grasp the scale of sexiness. Too much emphasis on special areas will become a feeling of color. Although the feeling of color is also a wonderful human emotion, it may have a negative impact on models and picture viewers. Therefore, I never cross the line. There is a fine line between art and pornography. If you don't pay attention, you become a layman. This is not only a matter of fear of going to jail, but also my own aesthetic problem. I always try to avoid revealing three points, which are easy for customers to accept. This is also the voice of all photographers.

I know that human portraits are not the mainstream of portrait photography in China. The ups and downs of body portrait, hot and cold, right and wrong will continue for some time, but taking body portrait is city girl's recognition of self and self-worth, a re-understanding of self, and a real liberation of women's thoughts. This courage and courage to pursue the true self deserves our full affirmation.
