Kunming photographer scenery

Because I want to live a meaningful life;

I want to live in depth,

And absorb the essence of all life;

And learn from it,

So at the end of my life,

Only to find that I have never lived. "

Post-80s photographer Li

Quoting a poem from Thoreau's Walden,

As myself and my friend.

The opening of the documentary The Call of the West.

"I love the west of my motherland very much,

Want to present it to the world.

A group of like-minded partners,

And a trip away,

Just to record the customs of the western part of the motherland,

Record ourselves. "

The vast China,

With countless charming scenery,

In the west of China,

This is a colorful and magnificent world.

Driving by car in the west is the dream of many people.

And Li and his friends,

I have had a self-driving experience of 1 1 in the west.

The farthest time, their journey exceeded 1000 km.

Driving three cars through six provinces (autonomous regions),

The altitude difference exceeds 4000 meters.

"From Yunnan to Tibet,

Continue north from Tibet and cross the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Enter the Qaidam Basin and Hexi Corridor.

The photos taken not only recorded

Beautiful scenery in the western part of the motherland,

This is a life experience. "

Li is from Yunnan,

He is a contracted photographer for many professional photo agencies.

A series of titles of Starlight Glimmer.

"In fact, my previous job had nothing to do with photography.

Picking up a SLR camera for the first time

Because when I was driving in Tibet nine years ago,

What makes me love photography is the snowy plateau in the west! "

Many people's impressions of Li,

Always "on the road".

Fascinated by photography,

He is used to this "on the road" state,

More than half the time in a year is not filming.

I'm on my way to shoot.

Over time,

Record the dribs and drabs that happen in nature and life,

I'm used to such days,

Although it's hard,

But because it's something you like,

I enjoyed it too. "

Friends nicknamed Li a "plateau photographer".

He grew up in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau,

And then constantly in my hometown.

Even on the higher Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,

Constantly looking for and shooting beautiful scenery.

Snow-capped mountains, forests, canyons, lakes and rivers,

And the desolate Gobi desert.

"Alpine vegetation, wildlife,

Bright starry sky, glacier snow water ...

Will tell you what the real west is.

Where you can get away from the noise of the city,

You can listen to the sound of the wind blowing quietly. "

In Li's view,

The most important value of a place

Not because of its convenience or comfort,

But because it is irreplaceable and unique.

"There will be the west, meet all my imagination!

Travel, not only far away,

Travel, in fact, is also possible.

Start with the land under our feet. "
