What is the realistic prototype of vivian maier in Looking for vivian maier?

I think the appearance of Vivian Mayer a few years ago was a shock to any photographer or photographer who is keen on street photography.

It's not because the photographer's work or her personal charm is shocking, it's precisely because we can't get to know her well, it's precisely because everyone knew nothing about her before her death, and no one knew the photos she took. Finally, someone saw her and said that she was often seen picking up garbage in the community. She never showed the photos to anyone, and didn't even see the whole picture she took-she left tens of thousands of undeveloped films after her death.

Her career plan has never changed, nanny.

Back in 2007, a historian named John Luff bought a box of discarded negatives in a community auction house with US dollars because he needed a lot of historical photos. Google told the owner of the film that there was no information. John thought the film was not bad, so he posted it on the photography website. The result is very popular! John soon bought all the other boxes from Mel. Who owns the photo? Reporter? Photographer?

The obituary found told John that the owner of the photo had passed away. So he called someone he could contact and wanted to tell him that he had Meyer's works. All he said on the other end of the phone was, Oh, that's my nanny.

Hundreds of thousands of black and white negatives and 700 rolls of undeveloped color film.

It's easy to think of Van Gogh, but after all, Van Gogh still has his brother and Gauguin, but Van Gogh may have bad luck in marketing.

My first impression when I saw her in my sister's room was "Where did you find such a young lady to be a nanny?" The sister of one of the employers who hired Meyer recalled.

She is always alone. No one knows whether she has any family. Most people think that she is French because she speaks English with a French accent. But in fact, she was born in new york, and only spent some time in France with her mother. This is a signal that she doesn't want to have anything to do with anyone.

Most of the time, she wears men's jackets, men's shoes and a big hat and keeps taking pictures.

Everyone thinks she's strange. She pays attention to privacy. When looking for a job and meeting every employer, she always asks her room to be locked. Your secret needs a safe and undisturbed space.

She tried to take pictures, but she was not a competent nanny. When the child who needed to be looked after was wiped to the ground by the car, she was indifferent, just taking pictures and even showing her expression. She thinks this is a wonderful moment. Indeed, she is more concerned about whether she can seize this wonderful moment than the safety of her children.

This character is really annoying, irresponsible, selfish and focused on his own world. None of the children she brought up appreciated her. But she is also innocent, and her loneliness is innate. She chose to live on the edge of the world and didn't want to share it with anyone.

Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, how many talented people lament that they have no talent. Only people like Meyer can never let others find out that I am talented.

This loneliness keeps her pure in her creation. She loves reading newspapers and cares about politics and some strange marginal people. Her photos also show us that apart from keen light and shadow and composition, most of her creative themes are everyday. Of course, this daily life is different from other people's daily life. It seems that I am looking at this dramatic world as a bystander, even looking at myself as a bystander.

When this daily life has been filmed for decades, it has recorded decades of history. In fact, history and culture are the accumulation and precipitation of daily life.

Meyer reminds me of Charlie in Mao Mu's works. She is asking for it. There are sixpence everywhere Only she looked up and saw the moon.

Meyer finally died alone in the community, in a trance and unable to live on relief.

Charles exiled himself to an island in the Pacific Ocean, suffering from leprosy and being blind.

These are considered tragic endings, but in my opinion, none of them can arouse my pity. The only emotion that moves me is awe.

I wonder if Meyer finally regretted the choice he made when he was young. When she was down and out, she met her former employer and looked at her in despair, hoping that she could stay with her for a while, but she didn't. She was rejected. Loneliness comes at a price. If you choose another way, you need to bear the same incomprehension.

Meyer has never been married and has no children. I think she has replaced everything we think a person must have with her camera, collection and secrets.

The copyright of Meyer's photos is still controversial. Many people think that director Xiao Ge made this film to hype and consume Vivian. However, Bian Xiao believes that even hype is not as good as letting us know that this small and great nanny photographer can let people see beautiful things. Gratitude.
