Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 175 The man obsessed with reflectors (Youcai)
Chen Pingsheng continued to wander the streets.

After using the Vivian Maier experience coupon, he suddenly felt that he was very interested in everything at this time.

Even my own shadow walking on the road finds it interesting.

The weather here in South China has passed the coldest period, and the weather is getting warmer. Chen Pingsheng came out today wearing long sleeves and a jacket. The sun was so strong that it seemed to illuminate every corner.

The road was clean and dry. After walking for a long time, he suddenly saw a place covered by a square parasol.

Holding the camera over, his shadow corresponded exactly with the shadow of the parasol. There was a small piece of bread left on the wooden stand next to him, and there was a white paper close to his shadow with free food written on it. Four words, I don’t know who dropped them here.

"It's really symmetrical." Chen Pingsheng put the camera in front of his eyes, pointed it at the ground and "clicked".

He knew what the photo would look like without even watching a replay.

This state is really intoxicating, as if there is nothing that cannot be photographed, and everything he sees becomes a frame-by-frame composition.

Just take a screenshot and it will be surprising.

"Hey!" At this moment, a childish gasp suddenly came from the side, which attracted Chen Pingsheng's attention. He immediately turned around and saw that it was a child who tripped over the manhole cover and fell to the ground.

His parents were standing in the distance chatting with friends. When they saw their child fall, they were not in a hurry. They seemed to hope that the child would get up on his own.

But the child was also angry. Seeing that his mother didn't care about him, he simply lay down on the ground with one hand stretched out and stopped moving.

It seems to be saying: I am broken and lying flat, the kind that can only be coaxed by kissing, hugging and lifting me up.

Chen Pingsheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene of mother-child game, and then immediately captured the picture of the child lying flat on the ground.

After seeing it, his mother couldn't bear it any longer and ran over directly to help the child up from the ground.

"Does it hurt? It's okay."

The child curled his lips, grabbed his mother's clothes with his little hands, and then cried loudly.

If nothing else happens, the child will not stop crying unless the mother does something.

Walking by them, Chen Pingsheng looked ahead. It was the famous financial CBD in South China. I heard that many financial people worked there. Just by walking nearby, you could see many men in formal suits or carrying bags. Or standing on the roadside waiting for the traffic light with a cup of coffee in your empty hands.

Chen Pingsheng was also waiting for the traffic light, but he stood opposite the group of men and behind the two ladies.

Suddenly inspired, he stopped and raised his camera.

"Click"

He photographed the group of men.

But he didn't put down the camera, but continued to wait, because the two women turned back at the same time.

In the lens, two ladies occupy the edge of the frame, one on the left and one on the right, with their faces turned sideways and their eyes looking at Chen Pingsheng's camera.One of them seemed to have an expression of disgust on his face, while the other looked more confused.In the center of them were a group of elite-looking men in formal attire.Some are chatting with friends, some are holding out their stomachs, and some are quietly waiting for the green light.

After Chen Pingsheng finished taking the photo, he immediately put down the camera.

Fortunately, after the two ladies saw how handsome the photographer was, their mood improved a lot and they did not pursue the matter further.

He sighed inwardly. He could obviously rely on his strength to make a living, but he had to rely on his face. Being too handsome was a worry!

Soon, the green light came on.Chen Pingsheng walked forward following the flow of people, but for the time being he didn't see the next picture worth taking.

"Hello, let me know about swimming and fitness." The guy in black clothes next to him suddenly handed over a flyer with a character's profile picture on it.

Chen Pingsheng didn't answer, but he still looked at it curiously. There was a huge real-life portrait on the yellow flyer, which seemed to be a certain fitness celebrity.

But at first glance, I thought it was a wanted criminal because the picture was too big.

Perhaps because it was so eye-catching, several financial professionals accepted this flyer as they passed by, but then they began to regret it because there were no trash cans on this road.

It can only be said that the placement of trash cans in cities is indeed like this. They often appear one after another when you don’t need them, and often disappear one after another when you need them.

A financial professional was standing on the side of the road with leaflets thrown everywhere, his hands naturally hanging down, exposing the side of his head.There was a cigarette in his mouth, and his other hand was in his pocket, as if he was about to take out the lighter.

And during this gap, "click" Chen Pingsheng had already recorded it.

Instead of photographing the man's head, he controlled the frame from his neck to the flyer, which made the whole photo particularly interesting.

A headless man is holding a flyer with his face printed on it, which makes it feel scary but humorous no matter how you look at it.

For the rest of the day, Chen Pingsheng wandered around the streets taking pictures until he came to the restaurant for dinner at [-] p.m.

Even while eating, he would still use his peripheral vision to observe the mirrors and all reflective objects around him.

As long as something can reflect his, Chen Pingsheng wants to try taking selfies, just like the psychological state of a woman who loves taking pictures.

Even if it was a dinner plate, he wanted to see if he could capture his own reflection.

Fortunately, he restrained his impulse and allowed himself to finish the meal successfully.

When he walked out of the restaurant, Chen Pingsheng couldn't bear it anymore. He went directly to the women's clothing store next to him, because through the window just now, he discovered that there were two huge fitting mirrors placed opposite each other, creating an infinite space. the illusion. "Hey, do you need anything?" The clerk came over, thinking that although it was strange for a man to visit a women's clothing store, such a handsome man must be buying clothes for his girlfriend.

"Let me take a look." Chen Pingsheng did not explain his purpose, but just walked to the mirror and looked at himself inside.

I don’t know why, the more I look at him, the more handsome he becomes, and the more I look at him, the more pleasing he is.

"Damn it, is this the mentality of a woman?" He finally understood why Vivian took so many selfies. This was not only because of fun, but also because of a little narcissism.

But this is naturally no problem for a girl, but it is a bit awkward for a man like him.

Of course, many boys have now taken the brave step and choose not to care about other people's eyes.

But Chen Pingsheng is not ready yet!
So he could only give up his persistence in the struggle, and sacrificed his appearance for photography.

He stood in front of the mirror, holding one hand on the edge of the glass, looking at himself in the mirror, and then completed the shooting with a quick "click".

"How much does this card cost?" After taking the photo, he quickly asked the clerk.

The hairpin is placed next to the mirror, so this question is more natural.

"This blue and this pink are both 35." The clerk looked at the direction of his finger and told him the price.

In fact, both styles of hairpins are made of leather, but the flowers and colors on them are different.

Chen Pingsheng didn't care what style they were in. He picked up two directly, then paid the bill and walked out of the women's clothing store.

"Huh." He breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had escaped from a devil's cave.

This experience was still a little too humiliating for him.

But the more shameful thing is yet to come.

There are shops with mirrors everywhere on this street. Chen Pingsheng wanted to leave, but the power of the experience coupon directly stopped him. At this time, he looked at those mirrors like a girl who came to an internet celebrity check-in place. He simply couldn't help it. Avert your eyes.

The mirror in the convenience store clicks.

A mirror that someone had left behind clicked on the ground.

The shadows on the roadside clicked.

The reflection of the window glass clicked.

When Chen Pingsheng finally walked out of this street, an hour and a half had passed.

In just 500 meters, he walked for so long.

As for the frontal face, which had never been photographed before, I didn’t know how many pictures were taken.

It completely broke Chen Pingsheng's own imagination.

"I should have known earlier." He said to himself: "Vivian is an avid selfie enthusiast, so I shouldn't have used this experience coupon."

He came to the roadside chattering like Mrs. Xianglin.

Suddenly a car attracted his full attention because he saw a very natural and harmonious composition.

It was an orange-red car. The glass in the front seat rolled down. There was a little girl leaning on the chair inside. She was wearing a white coat and had blond hair. She was a mixed-race girl.At this time, he was looking at his sleeping brother next to him with a face full of reluctance.

Her brother, wearing blue clothes, was lying facing the back of the chair, seemingly in a deep sleep.

Chen Pingsheng walked over and got a little closer. The little girl immediately raised her head and looked at him, but the reluctant look on her face had not faded.

Although he didn't know why the adults were not there, he still raised his hand and completed the adjustment of the camera parameters in the process. Then with a "click", he captured the little girl and her brother in the car.

He thinks this photo is the best of the day, far more beautiful than a selfie.

While he was thinking this, he suddenly spotted a building not far away from the corner of his eye. There was a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror standing on the outside of the building.

Chen Pingsheng headed in that direction without saying a word.

After arriving at the place, he stood opposite the mirror, standing upright, then raised the camera, tilted his head and took a picture of himself.

After the filming, he seemed to have come back to his senses and realized what he had done. In an instant, he blurted out two words: "Wo Ri."

There is no doubt that he was led astray by the experience coupon and started taking selfies.

Chen Pingsheng felt like crying but felt that his work must reduce the number of selfies in the layout and publish it later. It can be ranked behind other albums.

He touched his forehead. The experience coupon was still valid for a long time, and it seemed that he would have to face many similar situations.

"No more mirrors." Chen Pingsheng prayed silently, but a few dozen meters away from the building, he discovered another car rearview mirror with an interesting composition.

"No way, again?" He lamented, but walked towards the rearview mirror unswervingly.
