Mika Zhang's Weekend Pictorial Interview

20 13 The most striking thing about New York Fashion Week is no longer the fashionable fashion editors and bloggers. Photographers who are ready to shoot with their cameras are called the targets of street shooting, and people begin to pay attention to these people behind the cameras. Yes, battle-hardened photographers have a keen sense of fashion, excellent judgment and unique minority aesthetics. They even know better than fashion editors what is popular on the streets this season.

Keep the beautiful moment and capture the real moment.

For fashion photography, Mika Zhang didn't come from a professional photography class, but liked to record the world through the lens of a film machine when he was studying. After graduation, I worked in design for many years, which laid a good foundation for my own aesthetics and style. By chance, under the introduction of a friend, he began to make movies for actors. With a solid foundation in fine arts, he succeeded and started his photography career. Qun Yun said, "My understanding of photography is to keep beautiful moments and capture real moments. Photography is my soul mate. Although it is my profession in a sense now, I get more spiritual satisfaction through photography. " The unique fashion angle and solid photography technology have made Qunyun recognized by many fashion media industries in a short time. He worked hard and became a hot photographer in the industry. As an opinion leader of fashion photography, he appeared on many media pages. For fashion, he admits that he is dealing with fashion every day and communicating with the editor about shooting details. He is obsessed with thousands of luxury brands of clothes, purses and accessories all day. Qunyun will first find out which popular styles will be ruthlessly eliminated by visual fatigue and which are the fashion items that can't be tired of watching.

Not extravagant, not wasteful.

The establishment of Mika Studio has brought Qunyun's career into a new stage. Establish a brand image and cultivate new studio members ... He tried his best to finish all the fine work himself. He loves nature and never forgets to emphasize the concept of environmental protection with studio members. "My personal concept of environmental protection is not extravagance and waste. The six words are simple to say, but they are particularly difficult to implement. If everyone can do it, we can reduce the loss of resources. " Yes, it is not extravagant, which coincides with the concept of Milan Station, a senior environmental protection brand. Many shops in Milan Station have many brands of high-quality second-hand goods, which are carefully selected and recycled by professional buyers, and then placed in the window for customers to buy at a more affordable price, including some rare limited-edition goods on the market.

Weekend Pictorial asked: Do you usually support or buy second-hand goods?

Mika Zhang: I am very supportive of buying second-hand goods, because it is both environmentally friendly and a way to reuse resources. I usually buy my favorite second-hand items, such as bags, shoes, jewelry accessories, etc., which will be used in daily collocation. I think second-hand shopping is a kind of fun, and happiness is really happiness.

Weekend Pictorial Q: I often cooperate with fashion media. What's your favorite brand? Why?

Mika Zhang: I like Dior because it advocates elegance, gorgeous classics and constant innovation. Dior can become a classic because of their persistent design spirit-exquisite tailoring. At the same time, touch has always been the focus of Dior's emphasis. At Milan Station, you can see many classic Dior styles and experience the pleasure of exquisite tailoring.

Weekend Pictorial Q: Milan Station has always been adhering to the concept of environmental protection. Do you have your own unique way of environmental protection?

Mika Zhang: I very much support and agree with the concept of second-hand environmental shopping advocated by Milan Station. My environmental protection way is also reflected in my photography. For example, I try not to shoot on film. The film of the old camera is animal glue, and no film can reduce the killing of animals. At present, most studios use plastic shoe covers or disposable shoe covers, which produce a lot of unrecoverable garbage every day. Mika Studio is now cutting out some old clothes or trousers to make a reusable cloth shoe cover for editors and staff who come to shoot.
