Canzhi photography

From different angles, what you see may be completely different.

This is an experiment.

A visual studio hired six professional photographers to take portraits of the same person. Before filming, the staff described the identity of the subject to the photographer: he is a millionaire who started his own business, he is a lifeguard, he is a prisoner released from prison, he is a professional fisherman, he is a psychic, and he is an alcoholic who successfully gave up drinking.

After receiving the task, the photographers walked into the same studio. They will all finish shooting here.

The first photographer was told that the subject was a millionaire, starting from scratch. He constantly adjusts his shooting angle, hoping to find a point, so as to shoot the smug feeling of a successful person. At a certain moment, the subject sat on the sofa, crossing his legs and laughing at the sky. Yes, that's the feeling! The photographer thought it was wonderful. He kept pressing the shutter "click, click". However, he quickly overturned his idea. He thinks that the characters shot in this way may be too "local tyrants" to show the sense of accomplishment and superiority of a successful person. We should give him a big picture, just like the cover figure of Time magazine. The photographer adjusted the focal length.

(Source: Apollo. com) A female photographer knew that she was going to photograph a prisoner who had just been released from prison. She glanced at the studio and soon found the shooting background: a mottled wall. There is a sofa and a shabby stool in the studio, and she makes the subject sit on the stool, which is in line with his identity. In order to show a newly released prisoner's confusion, poverty, fear and a little unruly feeling more truly, she asked the subject to unbutton his coat. But she felt as if something was missing. Well, by the way, please pull out the corner of your shirt a little more. The female photographer has been pushing this theme until she thinks she has finally found a most satisfactory angle.

After communicating with the subject, another photographer sincerely told the subject that you are a generous person and you don't hide your past at all. The photographer is going to photograph an alcoholic who has successfully given up drinking. The photographer held the camera in one hand and gestured at the object in the other: After getting to know you briefly, I found that you are very brave to face yourself, which is what I want to express in the photo.

Six photographers successively photographed the subjects according to the content informed in advance. Finally, each of them picked out the most satisfactory photos.

Six portraits, hanging together.

Each photo accurately, vividly and vividly expresses the identity of the owner of the portrait photo: this is a big facial close-up, with sharp eyes and a slightly upturned mouth, which makes him extremely proud. He is a millionaire; This is a distorted side face photo, with a bald head, a big nose, sharp eyes and a closed mouth. It may be that the teeth are clenched and there is a big shadow behind it, which makes people feel very heavy. He is a prisoner released from prison. It is such a bright smiling face, sincere and kind, giving people warmth and security. He is a lifeguard. He sat on the sofa, his hands flat on his knees, his eyes calm and he scored for the camera. He only occupies half of the picture, and the other half is an empty chair, as if waiting for someone. The whole picture gives people a strange feeling of faint uneasiness. He is a psychic. ...

But the person being photographed is neither a released prisoner nor a lifeguard; Neither a fisherman nor a millionaire; Neither an alcoholic nor a psychic. These six identities have nothing to do with him.

He's not an actor either.

However, when he was treated as a prisoner, lifeguard, fisherman, millionaire, alcoholic and psychic, the photographer took him as a prisoner, lifeguard, fisherman, millionaire, alcoholic and psychic.

This experiment tells people that when a person is assumed to be an identity, he may really have the specific potential of this identity.

This experiment also tells people that from different angles, the people you see may be completely different.

This experiment also tells people that what you see is often not true.

From this experiment, I also saw my own shadow: each of us has only one face, but there may be many very different faces. There may be a devil hidden in our hearts, which makes us play different roles consciously or unconsciously. I hope I will always present a quiet, warm and reliable smiling face.
