travel starts with photography

Chapter 254 childhood sweethearts
Li Yin, Wang Wenqiang, Lu Erwei.

Chen Xing thought they were classmates before, but after everyone introduced themselves, they realized that they are far closer than classmates. They are three good friends who have played since childhood.

Lu Erwei's personality is straightforward and extroverted, with the appearance of a sports student.

He took off his shirt and wrung it dry before putting it on again.

Boys can do this, but Li Yin can't. She is wearing Chen Xing's windbreaker and sitting in the boat, just like wearing a long skirt. It feels like a child wearing adult clothes.

She looked at Chen Xing who was standing on the edge of the canopy taking pictures outside, and whispered to Wang Wenqiang beside him, "He's so handsome, what do you think?"

"probably."

Wang Wenqiang looks good, gentle, but not very talkative. When they introduced each other and chatted before, he was very silent.

But Li Yin and the others all know that Wang Wenqiang has this kind of personality, he can chat with familiar people, but he becomes boring when he meets strangers, so even though his looks are not bad, it is a pity that he is still a solo mother for 20 years.

Chen Xing was photographing the porch in the rain.

At this time, the sun had already set, and there seemed to be no dazzling neon lights around, so they were illuminated by lanterns. In addition, there were some lights in the shop. Tourists hid from the rain in the bridge and sat on the bench to watch the people passing by. Black awning boat.

Chen Xing also looked at them.

This picture is really interesting.

Chen Xing came back to sit and took out the cloth from his backpack to wipe the camera. Just now, in order to find an angle to take pictures of the people on the covered bridge, Chen Xing had to walk outside the tent in the rain. It’s okay to get caught in the rain by himself, but the camera got caught in the rain But it hurt him badly.

Li Yin looked at Chen Xing's serious expression, and asked curiously, "How do photographers make money?"

She is only 19 years old and has never been exposed to the photographer industry.

Chen Xing quickly deleted and snapped redundant photos, and said, "Guess first."

"Is this... a photo of married people? I think people like you are so handsome."

"...you guess again."

Li Yin thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I can't think of it."

"You can also make money by taking pictures of celebrities, taking portraits, or taking some landscape photos to sell." Chen Xing raised his head and said with a smile, "This is the case for better photographers, of course the one you mentioned, but generally After a few years of filming, I will find another way out.”

Taking wedding photos can't last a lifetime.

If you want to go further, you can shoot other things. After you shoot your own style, you can almost be financially free.If you want to make money, you can break away from the boss and open a photo studio yourself, and make money with the contacts you have made in your career.

The specific Chen Xing did not know.

His starting point was too high. He had almost the top technology when he first came into contact with photography, and then he became famous in Paris for no reason, which led to his serious lack of understanding of the basic level of the photography industry.

After all, I have never experienced it.

"Taking pictures of celebrities?" Li Yin exclaimed.

"how?"

"I thought they were all taken by assistants. It felt like they were shooting people. It was very simple."

Huh?This little white is a bit outrageous.

Chen Xing didn't delete the photos anymore, so the teacher helped her popularize science and the difference between taking pictures and taking pictures, said:
"The gap is too big. The first is the light. Usually we don't need to consider the light when taking pictures with mobile phones, but if we want to take good pictures, we must learn how to distinguish between front light and back light. This is the most basic. There are key light, fill light, hard light and soft light for advanced stage... So photography is the art of light and shadow, little sister, study hard and learn.”

Li Yin was very yearning to hear that. She used to stay at home and play games every day, either playing League of Legends or eating chicken. She never thought that a simple photo shoot would have so many changes. No wonder it is said that photographers make money.

It's up to them to earn.

But when she heard Chen Xing call her little sister, Li Yin became unhappy and said, "What, you are only one year older than me."

The voice is almost coquettish.

Lu Erwei shuddered and said, "I suddenly feel so cold after hearing you say that, I'm about to catch a cold."

"Get out! You ate so much for nothing just now, didn't you?"

She said eagerly, hiding her shyness.

Wang Wenqiang didn't speak, but her teeth were about to be gritted. In all these years, she had never heard Li Yin speak to herself like this.

In fact, it is very difficult for friends who have played since they were young to get together, because for more than ten years, everyone has been used to treating each other as brothers, sisters, and best friends. This kind of solid friendship is the biggest obstacle that prevents them from getting together.

Falling in love requires a sense of freshness. Can a stranger give this kind of freshness, but can a friend give it?

So there is a saying that childhood sweethearts are defeated by heaven, and this sentence is the most helpless portrayal of real life.

Lu Erwei and Li Yin quarreled, two straight men and straight women often do this, Wang Wenqiang habitually coordinated in the middle, trying to persuade them to fight, this scene made Chen Xing very touched, he secretly turned on the camera, pointed at them I took a picture.

In fact, it is best to shoot continuously, so as to capture their real reactions when they are fighting.

But now that it was dark and he was on the boat again, Chen Xing was afraid that he would not be able to use the photos he took, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

"kindness?"

"what?"

"Are you filming us?"

"Yes, I think the three of you are very harmonious in the viewfinder. This photo is well taken. Let's take a look,"

Several people gathered together to see what the photos taken by the photographer Chen Xing looked like.

"Okay... how should I put it! It's a great shot!" Li Yin said.

In the picture, she is arguing with Erwei.

This kind of quarrel often occurs, because sometimes Lu Erwei's mind will get stuck, and no matter what others say, he will say something inexplicably. At this time, Li Yin will habitually educate him.

And Wang Wenqiang pulled himself, for fear that he would go up and kick Erwei.

But how come, it's just a simple quarrel.

The three people seem to be at odds, but the picture feels like a whole. If you look at it with anyone, you won’t feel that they are arguing. You will instinctively feel that the three people in the picture are the kind who know a lot. friends of the year.

Chen Xing just took a picture on a whim just now, but he took an extremely excellent work.

Seeing that the battery of the camera was about to run out, Chen Xing said: "It's almost dead, I'll send you the photos later. But I have one more embarrassing request...can I use this photo?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Erwei asked.

"I'm going to have a photography exhibition recently, and I want to put this photo on display, is that okay? I won't sell it."

Whether the copyright in portrait photography belongs to the photographer or the subject is a question.

Legally the copyright belongs to the photographer.

But portrait rights belong to others, so Chen Xing still has to seek their consent if he wants to use them commercially, and Chen Xing will not sell such portrait works, they are only used for exhibitions, competitions, or put them on the website, so that Fans who want to learn their own style learn.

"Photography Exhibition?"

drop!
The camera is completely dead.

Chen Xing put it into the bag while explaining: "I have several photography exhibitions in Europe recently."

"Europe? Photography exhibition?"

The three students were shocked beyond measure. They only knew that Chen Xing was a photographer from Sichuan Province. He came here to travel and was still in college. Why did they suddenly talk about a European photography exhibition?

We crossed?
"Yeah, what's the matter, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, I'll send you the photos when I get back later, the battery is out now."

"No, no! Aren't you a college student?"

"Yeah, I'm studying abroad in Paris, and I'm in my senior year at the beginning of school."

"Wow!!"

"What about the photography exhibition?" Lu Erwei asked.

"I just signed a contract with a gallery, and the photography exhibition was opened by the boss. Well... the reason is a bit complicated. Anyway, I came back to China to take more photos in China, so that I can put them in the photography exhibition."

The three of them looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to be able to say hundreds of words in an instant.

"Is our photo okay?"

"This photo is amazing..."

Chen Xing didn't know how to explain it to them.

In addition to the photographer's personal style, a good photographic work must have three elements. The first is a clear theme.The theme of Chen Xing's work is friendship, and if you look deeper, you can find that the appearance of the three of them in the work is not ordinary friendship.

This is another theme that Chen Xing has hidden.

childhood sweethearts.

If you zoom in on the work, and the viewer is more sensitive, you may be able to see the little emotions hidden in Wang Wenqiang's eyes.

Second, use the environment to lead the audience's goals to the theme.

Chen Xing used the canopy of the black boat as the frame, and the audience can see the three of them at a glance. This element tests the photographer's ability to compose pictures.

The third screen is simple and clear.

There is nothing inside the awning boat, and the main body is already very clear, even a bit simple, but from the outside of the awning, you can see heavy rain, blurred buildings, lanterns, etc., in general, the bustling outside makes up for the inside of the awning boat. simple.

This is a kind of complement.

The three of them agreed after a little thought, and were even a little excited, and kept asking about the Chen Xing photography exhibition.

"Can I see it on the Internet?"

"No... There should be no video or photography in the photography exhibition."

It depends on the quality of the individual. If they are found taking out their mobile phones to take pictures of the artist's works, the security guards will probably only remind them not to take out their mobile phones. The rest depends on the audience's personal thoughts.

However, if this sneak shot is posted on the Internet, it will be deleted soon.

Therefore, no matter on domestic or foreign websites, it is difficult to find exhibition videos of modern painters or photographers.

"Then what to do! I really want to see it!"

"If I'm there at that time, I'll take a picture of the scene and send it to you."

The sound of raindrops falling on the awning is getting smaller and smaller, and it should stop.

Several people also stopped chatting and went to the outside deck to look out.

The stagnant tourists moved again, but they were not for visiting the scenic spots. There was nothing to see in the scenic spots at this time. The rain stopped them for nearly an hour and a half, but many of them still wanted to leave this scenic spot. There are only a small number of people living in the scenic area.

Chen Xing turned around and asked, "Where do you live, have you booked a hotel?"

"We live in an ancient-style inn, and the room has been reserved."

Chen Xing looked at the dark clouds in the sky and asked, "Then do you have any vacant rooms over there?"

Wang Wenqiang said: "It seems that there are no more."

They booked two rooms. He and Erwei lived together, and Li Yin lived in a room alone. When they came down, the remaining room was also reserved by a tourist.

Chen Xing thought that he would encounter the problem of not being able to find a hotel at night again, right?

Chen Xing said to the boat boss: "Brother, do you know where there is room to live?"

"Should there be? May I ask for you?"

Anyway, they have a solution, the worst is to spend more money...

Sure enough, after making a few phone calls, he helped Chen Xing find a B&B hotel that was also in the style of an ancient inn. The name made Chen Xing feel very familiar, it was called the Lotus Garden Inn...

Chen Xing thought about it carefully.

Oh, isn't this the hotel I saw across the river when I first came to Xitang today?
He also took a photo of a father and daughter standing on the balcony of the inn. Chen Xing had a deep impression of the little girl, and he had forgotten what the father looked like.Anyway, the father is just a foil in his photo.

Their hotel was closer than Chen Xing, so they disembarked first.

Before leaving, Li Yin took off the windbreaker, and was a little embarrassed to return it to Chen Xing. After all, the clothes were covered with water and looked a little dirty.

"Why don't I return it to you tomorrow after washing?"

Chen Xing took it and said, "It's okay, I'll take it back and wash the same ones, I have to change anyway."

"Hey! When are you leaving!"

Lu Erwei had already called for someone on the shore.

Although the heavy rain had stopped, it was still drizzle. He didn't know what Li Yin and Wang Wenqiang were doing in the boat, didn't they say goodbye long ago?
Li Yin also turned around and left. Chen Xing nodded to Wang Wenqiang, and when he was about to turn around and sit down, both of them saw a small bag that Li Yin had forgotten in the boat.

Wang Wenqiang wanted to get it, but when he saw Chen Xing, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he motioned for Chen Xing to send it over.

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, and said, "Don't think too much, I don't mean anything to her. Just take it and return it to her."

Wang Wenqiang smiled at Chen Xing. This was the first time Chen Xing saw him smile at him in more than an hour, which was very strange.Is it because of my own words?Or did you leave the matter of returning the things to him?

Chen Xing felt a little sad watching him go ashore.

He is not optimistic that these two people can get together. Li Yin is just a little girl who has not experienced much in the world. She never thought that her best friend would want to fall in love with him.

If Wang Wenqiang really wants to pierce this layer of window paper.

The photo in Chen Xing's camera is even more precious, because once the friendship deteriorates, it will never be repaired.

Seeing that the rain had subsided, the boss of the boat also took off his bamboo hat, looked at the three young people with a wider field of vision, and said to Chen Xing, "That girl is nice, well-behaved, clever, and cute."

Chen Xing was given so many opportunities, but Chen Xing didn't grasp any of them.

"It's very good, but I'm a bit short."

Chen Xing said.
