Shi's Flowers Are Not Flowers Series

In order to innovate and break through the traditional shooting methods in flower photography, Shi has finally created a shooting method that does not need effect mirror, darkroom processing and computer synthesis, but uses multiple exposures to integrate painting art into photography art. This shooting method is based on photography and supplemented by painting to express flowers. Draw the flower background in various painting forms, and artistically reproduce the beauty of flowers.

Shi named this group of works "Flowers Are Not Flowers", which not only has the original aesthetic feeling of flowers, but also has the photographer's unique visual creativity. With its aesthetic style, gouache-like texture and unique visual effect, it has been highly praised by many photographers, and this group of works has also won the crown of the fifth photography golden award for him.

Winning the Oscar is both an encouragement and a motivation for Shi. He made new breakthroughs in photography and visual innovation.

After the series "Flowers Are Not Flowers", Shi turned his camera to bamboo and adjusted his previous photography. In this bamboo shoot with the theme of "bamboo shadow in the breeze", he continued to use his original and skillful multiple exposure technology to expose the subject many times. He sometimes uses the swaying of bamboo in the natural wind, and sometimes uses the natural shaking of one leg when taking pictures. After multiple exposures, the subject forms a real and illusory image on the negative. At the same time, he also combined the changes of the focus of virtual reality, so that the image could be displayed in the triple changes of superposition, movement and virtual reality.

It is not difficult to see from Shi's photographic experience that constant exploration and innovation are the driving force of his photography, and his works are exquisitely conceived, rich in layering and refreshing.

Today, with the vigorous development of digital technology, the continuous innovation of photography techniques, photography concepts and aesthetic experience is still the source of the development of photography art, just as when Shi won the gold medal for the third time, the judges commented that Shi has a creative attitude of innovation and change-every time there is a new work, every new work has a new attempt, which is an exploration spirit that artistic photography should advocate.
