Strict books and works

I love this crying romance, which is known as the "poet photographer". It is the first collection of image essays by a famous photographer in China and the first photographer's creative notes in China.

This book contains Yan Ming's representative works since 2008, including My Wharf series and Great Country History series (including some new works that have never been published). The book is divided into four chapters, with the themes of "choice", "consideration", "cause and effect" and "grace". The images with stories and the stories behind the images are mutually footnotes, which extend the photographer's understanding of amateur and professional, body and spirit, part and whole, present and long-term topics through photography, and are also the author's "feeling of being halfway" and "goodwill and sympathy along the way"

As the author said, this book "is an opportunity, and if I can, I am willing to speak it out with trepidation." I don't mean to tell others how many roads I have traveled, but I can let people know that I am wandering at every intersection, even if it is to show people all the ruts left by this person who is not good at dodging. "

So far, I have never seen Brother Yan himself, and I have seen his works (original works hanging on plain walls) for no more than ten frames. However, this does not prevent me from forming a certain understanding of him by staring at his works-he is an honest artist and intellectual, facing ordinary people with compassion, exploring and recording the truth of this era like an ascetic monk.

Sincerity, as a feeling, has become increasingly rare. In this book, there are not so many shouts and judgments, and there is no end, but it is full of love and helplessness, gentle smile and humorous wisdom, which flows out like this and merges into rivers.

-Seven years of viola.

The most poetic low-key, on the meaning of photography.

Man Chen

His works are full of poetry, and his independent personality blends into the space of documentary photography, broadening the image field of humanistic documentary. The scenes he took seemed to be seen by all of us one day, but they were easily overlooked. This conceptual documentary text is full of uncertainty and calm observation. He is a photographer and very strict.

Deep sincerity, strong personalized language and * * * isomorphism have become unusual manifestations of Yan Ming's works. -Li Mei

Romantic tone and absurd characters in Yan Ming's works constitute the antinomy of modern life. Therefore, Yan Ming will say, "I love this kind of romance that I can't cry." What could be more powerful than such an annotation? -Lu Lin footballer: Nihility and Absurdity in Deep Reality-Strict Classic Reading.

Different from some photos that deliberately create some kind of uneasiness and crisis, the uneasiness in Yan Ming's photos is presented in a relatively peaceful and stable form, and the absurdity in the photos is also a kind of absurdity derived from plain. The relationship between man and the environment is also alienated and inseparable. People are in it, but they don't belong to it. In this way, he gave a visual metaphor that might reveal some vicissitudes of China society.

Times are changing. Compared with the photographers who are ten years older than Yan Ming, the living environment and system of this generation of photographers have undergone tremendous changes. If you want to persist, put yourself on the edge of society first-this is to consider their courage and sincerity. Yan Ming did it and gained dignity in persistence. He is a respected photographer.

—— The Story of a Great Country, a collection of graphic works published by the Barn Contemporary Image Museum in 2005, was published by 201kloc-0/Guangxi Normal University Press Utopia.

This book is the second essay by photographer Yan Ming after I love this crying romance. At the same time, it is also an extremely beautiful collection of photographs. With tens of thousands of sincere words, the book traces the source of the author's photography art, traces his childhood memories, points out the key and essence of photography, and expresses infinite feelings about the disappearance of classical romance and civilization in big countries. In the book, he not only explained the route, but also wanted to show what he had learned to young people who have been working hard on this road. In the book, Yan Ming puts forward the photography concept of "decisive atmosphere", which extends Bresson's concept of "decisive moment" and pushes the essence and theory of photography to a new height.

"In" I love this crying romance ",I talked a lot about things and ideas on the road, but in this book, I talked more about my childhood. The filth of the past didn't make me feel poor and shy, because that was the source. What kind of person has it made me? It taught me why I was moved, why I was concerned, why I was stubborn, and also let me know how to care, soften and loathe to give up. Then these things will come to my picture, gather more and more, become my spiritual back road and become my big country. "

"Although always stumbling, although often in hindsight, but I have never stopped looking for ways and ask. I am also willing to answer your questions about roads. Dialects and gestures are my original dialects, and these pictures are my dancing gestures. Because, my road is known by others, and everything on the road has completely opened up to me. "

At the same time, there is also an album of the same name "Records of Great Powers" designed by the famous designer Lu Zhichang. For a time, the photography circle was shocked.
