Guo Bo's famous specialty

Photography is another specialty of Mr. Guo Bo, especially in ancient architecture photography, which can be said to be a leader in photography.

Perhaps influenced by his father, Mr Guo Bo is honest, to tell the truth. Even in the "Cultural Revolution", he was still in a difficult situation. During the Cultural Revolution, many ancient buildings in Shanghai were trampled, and he was deeply saddened. At this time, with the conscience of an architect, he resolutely picked up the camera in his hand and photographed the ancient buildings that were about to disappear from the earth from different angles. According to statistics, from 1975 to 1989, * * * took more than 60,000 photos, including photos of ancient buildings. Therefore, Mr Guo Bo became a famous photographer. His photographic works are rich in content, including the western architecture on the Bund in Shanghai, the old house in the old town of Heather, the Russian Orthodox Church in Harbin and the Oriental Temple in Chengdu.

When people see his photographic works, they all agree that he is an "amateur photographer", and his works are as simple, popular and easy to understand as those of his father Guo Moruo. And Mr. Guo Bo always said, "I have admired my father's articles since I was a child. His simple, popular and easy-to-understand style makes people feel very comfortable, and my photography also pursues this style. " As a photographer, Mr Guo Bo's washing room is located in the bathroom at home. Cover your room when you are working, whether in spring, summer, autumn or winter. It is hard to believe that such excellent works can be created in such a simple studio. However, Mr. Guo Bo, who has been a photographer for forty or fifty years, often says modestly to people: "A photographer who can take 30 socially recognized photos in his life is first-class. When I leave this world, if I can leave 30 photos, I will realize my wish. "
