Photography creation

originality

Whenever I pick up the camera, I look for "classic" pictures with humanistic image value solemnly and simply with a pious heart. For decades, I have been pursuing texture in plastic, looking for eternity in fast food, excavating connotation in exaggeration and trying to capture "classics", hoping to leave some valuable images for my favorite photography career.

Learning and surpassing are the motto, and higher, stronger and more classic are the pursuit.

Evaluation of works

1. Review of the 8th China Photography Award;

The disappearing folk culture needs photographic records to preserve, and the survival of the original ecology needs our close attention. After the contact with 17, the mysterious life pictures of Yi people were recorded by images, leaving a nation's image memory. The deep life creation and unremitting spirit show the image temperament. Li Fan's efforts to overcome others' watching are commendable. Spending time and life close to the subject is the most precious historical heritage of photography.

2.20 1 1 judges of the global poverty alleviation photo contest:

This set of photos makes me feel intoxicated. The composition of the photo is very classic, and the photographer seems to have reverence for the characters in the photo. I also like the photographer's practice of blending landscape into portrait photos. -Carl Gronkvist, Director of Photography Department of Cobis Photo Agency, USA (Photography World 20111p26)

3. Li Fan continued his asceticism step by step. He insisted on the independence of photography, his belief in light and shadow, and his pursuit of the "spirit of the temple" of images. Chen Xiaobo Xinhua News Agency Senior Reporter Famous Photography Curator

4. The author's diligence and shooting skills perfectly show the charm of documentary (humanities) photography. Wang Wenyang, Director of Photography Department of China Intellectual Property Newspaper.

5. The work has a strong ethnic and religious color, which gives the viewer a lot of imagination and conveys some information. People will ponder and reflect after reading it, so this is a very good work. Director of photography of Chen Gu Photography Group

6. The photos are neat. At first glance, we can not only see the author's skill in making black and white photos, but also see the author's shooting efforts. This is by no means a scene that can be photographed by walking around the scene. Wen Danqing, editor-in-chief of China Photography Magazine.

7. The works are rich in connotation, the pictures are cleverly chosen, and the form and content, documentary and creation are perfectly combined, which reflects the author's profound artistic foundation of photography. President of Ji Yunbiao Portrait Photography Magazine

8. When my eyes came into contact with this series of works, it happened that the afternoon sun was shining on it. Do all unique things glow? It is good to look at each photo alone or the whole group of works coherently, which can make the viewer stop and think. I don't think photography should just look at technology and data, right? But let us have more care and enthusiasm. Founder of Vivian Maya Photography and Flower Picking Photography
