travel starts with photography

Chapter 333 Graduation?
It may be that he saw who it was on the surveillance at the door. As soon as the door opened, Chen Xing smelled a gust of paint, and then, a soft body hugged him.

People dress up well and use cosmetics and perfume, which is naturally a fragrance.

Hedwig doesn't do anything at home by herself, she wakes up every day to paint, her whole body can only smell like paint.

Fortunately, the current paint is not bad.

Chen Xing patted her on the back and said, "Miss me?"

"Think about it."

Chen Xing kissed her on the cheek before walking into the room.

The living room and kitchen are fairly clean, except that there are unwashed dishes in the sink in the kitchen. The floor is clean and should have been mopped earlier today.

Hedwig saw the man checking the room, and lowered her head to wash the dishes.

Chen Xing smiled, found a place to put down his backpack and luggage, went to hold Hedwig from behind and said, "I didn't say anything to you, why are you in such a hurry to wash it? Wouldn't it be better to throw it in the dishwasher?" .”

"It's cleaner to wash by hand."

"Well, yes, she looks more and more like a good wife and mother." Chen Xing praised.

For her, it is very rare to be able to manage the room as it is now.

However, Chen Xing had no say in this matter.

He doesn't do housework.

At best, tidy up your room and make your room look tidy and bright.

It’s better to be a girl from another province or a foreign country. To love your wife is to love your wife with your heart. You don’t have to act like you have to go to work to make money, and you have to mop the floor to wash dishes and cook after work. Hedwig is even better. She usually draws at home. Do housework when you are tired of painting.

Ha, perfect!

Chen Xing kissed her again.

After staying at home for two days, Chen Xing was going to visit Mr. Nobel's home.

Professor Cliff Nobel lives in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, which is a well-known rich area in Paris. Embassies of many countries also like to build in this place. The residential area is basically a new villa with a large area, and has the entire The widest street in Paris.

However, it is very characteristic that the house price here is not the most expensive.

The most expensive house price in Paris is 567, which is the traditional left bank area of ​​the Seine.

Holding the gift he brought, Chen Xing rang the doorbell.

After a while, a little girl with freckles came out of the room. This was the granddaughter of Professor Nobel. Chen Xing had seen her picture in his office.

"Hi, I'm here to visit your grandfather."

She turned around and ran, shouting as she ran, "Grandpa, someone is looking for you!"

After a while, the professor came out from home.

"Haha, Chen, you are welcome to be our guest."

Chen Xing had called him in the morning, and came here only after informing him.Chen Xing smiled at him, handed the gift to him, and said, "This is a macaron made by ourselves. It tastes very good, so I brought some for you to try."

"That little guy is lucky, she likes to eat this thing very much."

There are lawns on both sides of the courtyard of the professor’s villa, with swings on it, sand for children to play with, and toys on it. There are many kinds of flowers planted on the side next to the wall. The colorful colors are also very beautiful. Part of the house is almost renovated.

The decoration in the urban area of ​​Paris is not as rich and colorful as in China. Some families can feel the heavy decoration when entering, while others are extremely modern.European style, it should be said that it is the decoration in Paris.

Chen Xing has been to a lot of family houses that are decorated like this.

It's just that there are many photos in the professor's house, some of which are animals, and others are landscape photos.

"You came at the right time. I was invited to the island country some time ago. The architecture there is very similar to your work. I imitated you and took a lot of photos. Come and help me take a look."

Chen Xing followed him to the study.

The computer boots up quickly.

No matter how old a photographer is, even if he is in his seventies or eighties, the home decoration is all in the style of decades ago, but the computers and monitors must be the best at present, at least they can keep up with the times.

Except for those bigwigs who have stuck to film photography until now.

A good computer can greatly improve the speed of processing photos, and the pixels of the display are also a huge improvement for high-end photos.

Professor Nobel opened the photo, and Chen Xing saw a bunch of island buildings, with pictures of animals scattered among them.

"This is the island country crane. The natural park of the island country Hokkaido is still very well constructed. It is an excellent habitat for this kind of bird. These buildings were also photographed around them. I didn't pay attention to them before. Recently, I found many buildings in the island country. It's all very similar to the style in your photo."

Can it be different, the relationship between father and son.

Chen Xing sat in front of the computer and clicked the mouse.

These photos are all finished products after entering PS. From some details, it can be seen that the professor likes these films very much.

It was also well shot.

Chen Xing said to the professor while looking at it: "This kind of bird is called red-crowned crane in our country. It was one of the most famous birds in our country thousands of years ago. If it wasn't for their foreign name called the island crane, it should be our country's It's a national bird, what a pity."

"It's really a pity."

He went there to take pictures of red-crowned cranes, and of course he also learned some history.

At present, Huaxia has not determined its own national bird because of this. The red-crowned crane is the most popular, but how do you introduce it to others after you go abroad?

Hello, this is the national bird of our country, the national crane.

It's so bullshit.

Professor Nobel's imitation of the color palette is very good, at least it has the essence of Chen Xing's nine layers, if it is posted on Chen Xing's Twitter, if you don't study it carefully, you won't think it is imitated.However, the color processing is still not as good as Chen Xing himself.

That's what he's most confident about now.

However, compared with my latest work, the gap is very obvious...

Chen Xing hadn't planned to show the photos of Dunhuang to others, but Seth didn't receive any news. They only knew that Chen Xing took a group of very good photos, and they have been urging them recently.

But after all, he is his own teacher.

Chen Xing didn't comment well on the things the professor took, but he could only say that they were very good and beautiful.

After finishing watching, he said: "Teacher, after I returned to China, I also took a series of cultural works in our country. Would you like to take a look?"

"Cultural work?"

"Yes."

Chen Xing took out a USB flash drive.

Soon, a photo with a particularly strong sense of sunlight appeared on the display.

The first one is a sunset photo, but Chen Xing's shooting made the picture appear a colorful halo like the noon sun. Combined with the woman's dancing body in the picture above, there is a sense of sacredness like a religious painting, beauty and mystery complement each other.

"Is this a traditional costume in your country?"

"Yes, this is the Chinese Western Regions style."

Professor Nobel knows Hanfu, which is solemn and conservative, and has a strong color of Chinese culture, but this set...

It's so beautiful, how would he evaluate it?
"This kind of picture is probably only you can call out. Only in your works, the sunset will be so charming even when it is about to set. This woman is also very beautiful, and the clothes have some elements of China, Central Asia, and Middle Eastern countries... Hiss, it looks good!"

He whispered to himself, and then said something nice as the dust settled.

Chen Xing thinks that the main thing is that people are good-looking.

For another person, even with the same set of clothes, I can't take such a feeling.

It was worth waiting for Tang Shiyi for several months.

Chen Xing was here this time to ask himself about his future studies, but it became like a gathering for the two to exchange new works. From the afternoon to dinner, they have been talking about creation. The group of photos has a high evaluation, thinking that this is a group of photos that Chen Xing took after breaking through himself.

He also talked about a lot of interesting things he encountered when he went out to shoot, which made Chen Xing not remember that there were still people waiting for him at home until he was dragged to the dinner table to eat, and he also remembered his original intention by the way.

"Teacher, I won't eat the meal. My girlfriend is still waiting for me at home."

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

He remembered that Chen Xing didn't have one when he went to Africa with him last time, not only Chen Xing, but the three students he brought there didn't have any girlfriends.

"kindness."

Professor Nobel sighed, and said, "Unfortunately, associating with women will leave you with a lot less room for freedom, and you won't have as much freedom in creating as you would if you were single."

When he said this, he was at the dinner table. As soon as he said this, everyone looked at the professor's wife, a woman with blond hair and not many wrinkles on her face. He looked at grandma with everyone's eyes.

"You mean I'm in your way?"

The professor just woke up like a dream: "No, no, I don't mean that!"

"Cliff! If it weren't for me, where would you be living on a chair in a park now, and now you want to complain about me?"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Chen Xing immediately said: "Professor, Ms. Malan, thank you for the hospitality. The blueberry cheese is very sweet, but there are still people waiting for me at home, so I will leave first. Teacher Nobel, see you at school!"

Still talking about studies, hurry up and slip away.

Same call tomorrow.

The professor also knew that he had said the wrong thing just now, and if he could hide for a minute, he stood up and said, "I'll see you off."

In the cold snort of Mrs. Malan, she walked out of the house with Chen Xing.

"You just said college, why, do you still want to follow me in the new semester?"

"Ah? Otherwise, what should I do? I haven't graduated yet."

"...You can write the application yourself. Forget it. I'll help you write it in a few days. It's my fault that I didn't tell you. You have already won the Arles Photography Festival Newcomer Award to prove yourself. Many teachers in the school have never won this honor. , If you don’t graduate and stay in school, the gap between you and other students will be too big.”

"I graduated?" Chen Xing was dizzy.

I have only been here for one semester, and with the experience of filming in Africa with Professor Nobel during the summer vacation, it is only less than half a year.

This is graduation?
"Yes, you can graduate, unless you want to stay in school and teach, but I would advise against it."

The teachers in the school were eager for Chen Xing to go out to prove himself, and then indicated in Chen Xing's resume that he was a student who graduated from their Paris School of Decorative Arts, which also gave them a well-known alumni in Asia.

"But I haven't learned a lot of knowledge..."

Before entering school, Chen Xing only knew how to take pictures, and he was considered a craftsman. Although he only studied for one semester, he now also knows the relationship between photography and art, the history of photography, photography skills, post-production photography editing and other skills.

I even learned something about design and oil painting.

There is no way, his foundation is too poor, like a dry sponge, it will naturally absorb water quickly when he comes to a school like Paris Couture.

Fill in the gaps in the foundation.

So, he really didn't expect that he would graduate from school so soon.

But it's not that I don't want to graduate, after all, I can have more time to travel after graduation.

He told his thoughts to Professor Nobel.

"That's right, we thought you had a good foundation before and put you in the junior year. In fact, if I didn't want to guide you, most of you would start directly from the internship in the senior year. This is our negligence. However, even if you graduate, you can still come to the school to take courses in the second and third grades, it doesn't matter, or... I have an idea, how about you teach them the color composition class?"

Only some of the teachers in Paris Gaozhuang are fixed, and most of them invited some young artists who were recognized by them in France and even in the world at that time to teach.

Many teachers are full of praise for Chen Xing's talent in color.

It's a new semester now, maybe Chen Xing can really teach students for a year.

To tell the truth, Chen Xing was a little moved. The younger students from earlier started calling him a teacher this year.There is a sophomore in the design department who has had in-depth exchanges with him several times. They also want to learn color composition. Will you hear her call teacher teacher in the future?

"never mind!"

"It's okay if it's inappropriate, there's no need to be so loud." Professor Nobel said with a frown. "Go back. I'll help you submit your graduation application. If you want to study other courses in the future, no one will stop you. That's it."

He has to go home and apologize now.

I hope my wife has calmed down by now.

When taking the subway home, Chen Xing was still thinking...he just graduated?

Totally unexpected.

The school is actually very good. Although Chen Xing only came to study for half a year, without the help of the academy, it is basically impossible for Chen Xing to get the newcomer award at the Arles Photography Festival. Otherwise, I really think that there is no sophistication in Europe?Chen Xing was not so naive.

If you graduate, you can go to the Hasselblad headquarters next month.

When Hasselblad released the X2D machine, it had a small event with many photographers who invited evaluations.

That is whoever has the best evaluation response, they will tailor an X2D that only belongs to him.

Now that the camera has been released for a month, the market has received rave reviews. Regardless of whether the camera is a Hasselblad fan or some evaluation unit, the media are full of praise for this camera.Among them, the most popular one on the Internet is the video posted by Chen Xing on YouTube.

Now it has already passed tens of millions of broadcasts, and there is even a China craze, or Buddha statue craze, and I went to China to see the filming location of Chen Xing's work.

They also invited Chen Xing to visit their factory.

I didn't have much time before, but after graduation, I have more time. I just don't know what they mean by tailor-made, is it a customized shell, or adding new functions.
