travel starts with photography

Chapter 301 Sunset: Chen Xing
This one...

As a humanistic work shot by Chen Xing, the style is as stable as ever.

But in the West, the market is not big.

What do they know about turning mountains?I also don't understand how sacred Gang Rinpoche is to this old man, and humanistic works are all about stories.In order for Westerners to understand this photo, it must be accompanied by a large paragraph of text to explain it.

This is too troublesome for both Chen Xing and western collectors.

Unlike the ancient Buddha stone wall photographed by Chen Xinggang, it is obvious that the scenery is beautiful and the light is perfect.

In addition, Chen Xing's momentum has been obvious in the past two years, and he is about to win an award in Arles.Based on the idea of ​​investing in advance, this work has so many museums wanting to collect it.

They are not afraid of losing money.

Can't lose.

Seth asked: "What do you think? And the National Museum of Nepal asked me about this photo before, but maybe I think you are not well-known, so there is no follow-up."

Chen Xing was a little unconvinced.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel better in France, and I guess my fame will not expand to the surrounding area until after Arles ends this time.

The photography circle is small and small. Every city, every province, and every country has its own circle of photographers.Some people have always been called big shots in the urban group, but that's the way it seems in the provincial circle.

Still depends on the awards.

Another trick is to ask the seniors and sisters to help, just like Dellin who Chen Xing knows, if Dellin is willing to introduce Chen Xing in other countries, then there is no need for awards, and the reputation can gradually spread .

Otherwise, a lot of geniuses want to go to prestigious schools, and the circle of alumni really has a great impact on a person's career.

But now Chen Xing is still very confident, he thinks he can go the first way.

"It's okay if it's cheap, at least my own country has also collected my works, and I feel more comfortable."

"OK, I'll get in touch with them afterward."

When Seth and Chen Xing were talking, Abbott was not idle, and took the mouse to look at Chen Xing's photo after Seth turned on the computer.These photos were all starred by Seth, and only a few of them were five-star, and two of them were black, indicating that they had already been sold.

One of them was not for sale, it was given to the Paris Art Association at almost cabbage price before Chen Xing signed a contract with the gallery.

This made Seth complain for a long time.

This is a work that won an award at the Winter Photography Festival, so I gave away just a few thousand euros?
This is also Chen Xing's only work that can be seen for free.

Anyone who visits the Red House in Montmartre can find Chen Xing's "Climber of Snow Mountain" among the works of modern and modern artists.

"Well, if only you had more pictures," Abbott said.

Chen Xing and Seth were chatting about the layout of the photography exhibition the day after tomorrow, and when he heard what the boss said, he had a stress reaction—it was who said this last time, and then asked me to go back to China to take pictures of several ancient towns ?

He almost didn't know the word Guzhen anymore.

"I've shot a lot."

"But there are still too few top-level ones. This year, you only released a photo of the Buddha statue."

"I think so too, boss..." Chen Xing said helplessly, "I have to be busy with my studies this year, and I have to deal with the homework of the teachers. How can I have time to go out and travel, and it's not just a trip. Those sights can be found."

This requires the combination of heart and scenery.

Throughout Chen Xing's masterpieces, no matter Miao Village, Zhuanshan, Climber, or Buddha's Light, which one is not sincere?

Without fate, you can't take a photo like this with a camera for 100 years.

Abbott said with a smile: "I'm just expressing emotion, but you have to hurry up. I know that many photographers are less creative as they get older. You should take more photos while you are still young."

Chen Xing didn't dare to guarantee it, and nodded with a bitter face.

Chen Xing himself also wanted to participate in this photography exhibition, and it happened that Abbott, the boss, was also there, so the three of them decided together which works to exhibit the day after tomorrow.

Buddha light is the most important.

As a masterpiece of scenery that Chen Xing took painstakingly to shoot this year, it was directly produced by Hasselblad without modification, without color correction and without modification. This represents a real natural picture, and its value should be higher.

The price of an ordinary original film is definitely not as good as the modified one, but it can be said that the original film is so beautiful without retouching, which can be said to be extremely rare in the photography industry.

Rare means precious.

After deciding on the theme, I called up some more matching photos from Chen Xing's remaining four-star works.

One of the reasons why Abbott values ​​Chen Xing is that the film production is very stable.

Five-stars are rare, but after color grading, Chen Xing can modify many works that look ordinary to give him his own unique flavor.

Time flies by.

Arles is still the city of sunshine, which attracted countless tourists and photographers in July, August and September. Countless media from all over the world also sent reporters to report the awards in a few days.

Today, Arles is not a hotel.

Even in the living room of a private house, there may be one or two guests from other places.

Arles is beautiful.

But small is really small.

In addition to the awards ceremony, there are at least ten photography exhibitions every day, which are also topics that tourists talk about.

In fact, no matter who the photographers working in Arles are, there is no doubt that they are capable.

Chen Xing just saw a photographer who is good at taking black and white style yesterday. He is over 60 years old and insists on using film to shoot. The composition is really... Chen Xing has to admire. Some artists see life from a different angle from ordinary people. too big.

For example, a street can be divided into four parts evenly by composition alone.

Chen Xing's composition must be qualified, but compared with these people, he is still a little bit worse... But!
But Chen Xing is very colorful.

He has been in Arles for so many days and has seen many photography exhibitions. It can be said that there is no one who can compare with him in color matching. Chen Xing can even say that he is the best in the world in the use of colors.

The more works he has seen, the more confident Chen Xing has.

Early this morning, the gallery took down other people’s works, and then put the photos taken by Chen Xing in various places in the gallery. The work of Foguang is in the middle of the gallery, and there is a skylight here, from 10:4 to [-]:[-] pm There will be light shining from the skylight at every point.

A bright environment is a necessary condition for enjoying this photography exhibition.

A promotional photo of Chen Xing was placed on the street outside the gallery. His handsome appearance attracted the attention of many passers-by, as well as the words "Sunset: Chen Xing" written on it.

Sunset means sunset.

The theme this time is the sunset. There are a lot of sunset scenes shot by Chen Xing. The main subjects include ancient Chinese buildings and natural scenery in the mountains.

Chinese people have a different liking for the sunset.

Chen Xing also hopes to convey his love to tourists who come to Arles.
