When was the first human photograph taken?

More than 200 1, 1, 100 beautifully-made human body photos were exhibited in the Grand Exhibition Hall of Guangzhou China Plaza. The First China Human Photography Exhibition opened in Guangzhou.

Since 1928, when Lang Jingshan took the first human body photo, China's human body photography has gone through a difficult and tortuous road. Due to the influence of feudal traditional ideas for thousands of years, human photography has always been regarded as a "scourge". This exhibition of human body photography marks that human body photography has gone out of the "underground" and started to get the understanding and respect people deserve.

Huang Xusheng and Guo Haichang's The Charm of Loess won the gold medal in this exhibition. This photo was taken in April 1999. When talking about the shooting experience, Huang Xusheng said:

I grew up in Taihang Mountain area, where the Yellow River and Loess are symbols of China culture, leaving a mark on my heart. The idea of my work is to capture the spirit of China and embody the spirit of "descendants of the dragon". Like the Yellow River, women are the best symbol of the earth.

At the opening ceremony of the film festival, the most striking thing was Jing Tian, the model of this gold medal photo. The crowd at the meeting was very excited when the girl who was 1.75 meters tall appeared. Almost everyone took a few steps forward, and everyone behind her jumped up, hoping to see the model through the crowd. There were dozens of cameras and video cameras present, and Jing Tian was surrounded.

In the face of a reporter's question, Jing Tian described his experience as a human photography model:

I have been a mannequin since 1998. It was the first time to shoot indoors, and I regretted it after shooting. How dare I? I'm not sure. Then the pressure came. Later, I read some books on art, and Mr. Huang also told me some knowledge about art, which made me have a further understanding of art and human body ... I know it is difficult to be a model, and I know that many models are insane or commit suicide because they can't stand the pressure, but I believe everyone will understand.

As the first mannequin in China who dared to go to the front desk to face the audience, Jing Tian's courage won people's appreciation, and the exhibition organizing committee awarded her the "Special Contribution Award".

This exhibition of human photography works lasted more than one year from its initiation to its first exhibition. More than 5,000 works were sent from all over the country, and 7 works were selected11. Although some of these works are not mature enough, most of them show healthy and upward aesthetic taste, which reflects the photographer's persistent pursuit of photography art and has been recognized by the society.
