travel starts with photography

Chen Xing spent some time processing Seth's photos.

In fact, it is best to take these kinds of tourist photos or life photos with a mobile phone. It is simple, convenient and fast. Using a camera is troublesome, not to mention the complicated color adjustment for ordinary people. The key advantage of the camera cannot be reflected in this kind of photos.

At most, some photo editing experts can make people look better.

After finishing, Chen Xing sent it back to Seth and started to edit his own photos.

After working for half a day today, Chen Xing was satisfied with only a dozen photos. This ratio is already very good. Some photographers who have run out of inspiration may not be able to produce even one photo in a month.

I first sent all the photos to the gallery, and then selected a few photos to post on my social media account.

[Today, the island nation of Kyoto is very lively, with the streets full of men, women, young and old wearing traditional costumes. I thought I was the only one who was different, running around in Hanfu, but I was lucky enough to meet this beautiful girl. Today, she is the only bright color in front of my eyes, just like the cherry blossoms in full bloom at this moment]

The woman in the photo holds a sword in one hand, looking up at a cherry blossom falling from the tree. There is a heroic spirit of a female hero in her brows, but one can also feel her tenderness as she watches a petal bloom.

Although many people view the updates he posts on Bilibili, most of the people who see his works here are his personal fans who like his travel videos, food videos, etc.

Compared to Bilibili, Instagram is actually a gathering place for his photography fans.

“Oh my god, the model is so beautiful”

"Chen's works are as always full of rich Chinese style. I love you so much."

"International students from the East Arts University come to observe the masters"

"This is the Sakura I long for!!!"

"Come here to learn every day - a young photographer from China"

“The night view of Kiyomizu-dera Temple is so beautiful.”

“I want to learn more about how bloggers photograph oriental architecture. Can you have more architectural works?”

“Full of psychedelic tones, I love this batch of works.”

"I was traveling in the island country and visited the photographer Chen's solo exhibition. I also met him by chance. He is a perfect and shining man. I will remember his smile when he signed for me for the rest of my life."

When Chen Xing was lying in bed and saw this message, many people looking for autographs flashed through his mind.

Is it a boy or a girl?
He stayed in the exhibition hall for a while, and there were quite a few people who recognized him and asked him for autographs, and many of them came from China. He is indeed not very popular in China, but there are so many Chinese people, so with such a large base, there must be many people who really like his works.

Among photographers in Asia, Chen Xing has already gained an outstanding reputation and wide influence. The more than two million followers on Instagram are the most obvious proof of this. Few photographers can achieve this level of attention.

Chen Xing prefers to read the comments left by fans and would read through them until the early morning before falling asleep.

morning.

Chen Xing was not sure what time it was when he was awakened by the heavy rain outside the window. The chirping of insects and birds that had made him fall asleep peacefully were completely inaudible, or rather, unclear, in the heavy rain.

"It's raining."

Fortunately, there is no work arrangement today.

Chen Xing felt a little sorry for Seth. He had finally come to the island country for a public trip but it rained. He was not like Chen Xing who had so much time to travel around. After signing the contract with the Kyoto Museum, he could only stay for two or three days at most before having to go back to deal with work.

I was originally planning to take him out for a walk today.

Working people... I looked at the time and it's already half past nine.

After washing up, Chen Xing took out the drawing board from the suitcase and opened the door.

The rain outside was getting heavier, the sky seemed to be darker because of it, and the wind was strong. In this kind of weather, Chen Xing would not take his drawing board outside to sketch. He just opened the door and looked at the outside world from this frame.

The raindrops hit the cherry blossoms violently, and the falling petals were no longer moving at a speed of five centimeters per second; the process was rather rough, and under the influence of the wind, the originally elegant scent of cherry blossoms became stronger in his room.

The door to his room is a frame, and his drawing board is also a frame.

Chen Xing painted the door of the room, the wall outside the door, and then painted the cherry tree in the limited space.

Halfway through the creation, the light outside the door suddenly dimmed, and Seth's figure appeared outside the door with his voice: "Are you painting? That's really interesting. I saw the painting you painted before. It's hard to imagine that a great photographer like you is so good at oil painting."

"What did you do before?"

"I listened to the monks chanting in the morning in a room. Although I didn't understand, it felt good. There were a lot of people there. It would be a pity if you didn't go. By the way, guess what I came to see you for?"

"How should I know, is there something wrong?"

The weather today is not suitable for going out to play, so isn't it normal for Seth to come and chat with him? He really doesn't know what else he has not done.

"Stop drawing, young man, come out and take a look."

Chen Xing stood up and walked out as he was pulled. There was an eaves outside the room, but in this heavy rain, even if you stood under the eaves, you would still get wet by the rain blown by the wind.

As soon as Chen Xing came out in his slippers, he saw a woman holding an umbrella in the corridor.

girl.

She was wearing a JK suit, but most of it was wet by the water. The only clean part of her body was her shoulder-length hair. The white silk stockings on her legs were all wet by the water and formed patches.

"Hinako?"

"Hello, Mr. Chen..."

Chen Xing's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Hinako was someone he met at the Arles Photography Festival last year. The little Japanese that Chen Xing knew was learned from her. It was agreed that Chen Xing would teach her English and she would teach Chen Xing Japanese.

Then I went to the hotel to teach.

Chen Xing had thought of her before coming to the island country this time, but he never thought he would meet her again.

Seth was just leading the way. Seeing that the two knew each other, he laughed in his heart and said, "You guys chat. If there is anything you need to do, just call me. This damn weather..."

After saying that, he whistled and walked away.

Fukuhara Hinako seemed to have a lot to say, but she looked down at herself getting wet from the rain, threw away her umbrella with a bitter face, and said, "I've thought of many scenes of seeing Chen Jun again, but I didn't expect that I would be so embarrassed today."

Chen Xing was a little touched. He took a deep breath and said, "You are not embarrassed at all. You are more beautiful than before."

"Like a wet puppy..."

She was a little embarrassed.

I've always thought she looked like a character from an anime from Japan, and now she looks even more like one.

Seeing that the heavy rain was still not stopping, Chen Xing closed the door, picked up the umbrella she had thrown on the ground, and invited her: "Are you still worried about getting wet in the rain? How about we go out for a walk? I'm looking for a restaurant to eat." (End of this chapter)
