Heiming's road to photography

Heiming is a native of northern Shaanxi, sincere and straightforward. 1964 was born in Yanchuan, Shaanxi Province, with seven brothers and sisters, ranking fourth. Eldest brother is an art teacher, so Heiming was influenced by his eldest brother to write and draw when he was very young. The portrait of Chairman Mao's printmaking copied in the first day was posted on the blackboard by the teacher for public display. At that time, Heiming, who thought he had some talents, once went to the advanced class of Xi Academy of Fine Arts to study painting with the dream of becoming a painter. After a while, he found that photography can express his ideas more accurately, so he spent 35 yuan money to buy a peacock camera of 120 and tried to take pictures.

Since then, heming has been fascinated by photography. He made his own exposure box and polishing equipment, developed films under the covers and developed photos in the kitchen. Looking at the "works" he developed, Heiming felt that it was much more interesting than painting, so he gave up his dream of being a painter and started his own photographic art creation.

From 65438 to 0985, Heiming published his first photographic work "Iron Rice Bowl" in Hong Kong's photographic art magazine, and won the gold medal in the monthly competition in one fell swoop. Then, he published his photographic works and notes in the newspapers such as Photo Illustrated, China Photography and People's Photography, and won the gold medal and silver prize in the Photo Art \ Photo Illustrated Photo Contest for three times ... Heiming's road to photography was firm and persistent.
