8. Creative photo album
Bidding farewell to Shen Bao, Niu Liang drove Hao Sang to get out of the car, but his thoughts gradually became active, and it seemed that there was a strange gravitational force in the center of his brain, which was attracting more and more pictures to gather here, and then rotated and spread, forming a rolling tide, which made his mind uneasy. He felt that he could not drive at all in his current state of mind, so he quickly drove home with bated breath, locked himself in his cabin, sat down at his desk, looked through various materials for a while, then picked up a pen and paper, and wrote:
"Haosang's Brother Photo Album" photo content and artistic conception design
1. The evolutionary history of Haosang's brother
Photographs 1-14 are available. Another 6 photos of the work and life of the queen are as follows:
No. 15: "Car Pavilion" - front, panorama (color).
No. 16: "Advertise" - take a photo of the advertising scene made for the first time (take black and white to enhance the sense of history).
No. 17-20: "Brother Niu Liang and His Haosang Complex" - the news picture is reduced by one page and enlarged by three (all black and white).
Second, the housang multi-prism
After writing the title of this second column, Niu Liang at first wrote down according to the original single-factor model, and after writing for a while, he realized the problem and stopped thinking about it. If you design according to this pattern, a series of clothing, a series of activities, and a series of postures, it will seem too simple and crude, too unlevel! And these factors can overlap. If we combine all kinds of factors and try not to repeat the factors in each picture, we will look much more delicate and novel! At the same time, he also found that some moving postures can only look chic and full of charm when they wear a certain type of clothing; while changing to other costumes, the effect is counterproductive! However, he has just designed a few photos, and he has found that in this way, the number of photographs will be greatly reduced, and there will not be much content in the album! So he has worked hard to find new innovative points and hollowed out his mind to conceive ...... In this way, he went back and forth, constantly digging and revising, racking his brains, and finally came up with forty photo ideas with different styles that satisfied him.
When designing the third part, Niu Liang learned the above lessons and no longer started writing rashly. He wanted to type the draft first, and then wave it away. Coming out of the small space in the car, he felt that this was a vast world of innovation. He imagined himself in the background of all things in heaven and earth and the various combinations of Haosang, and his thoughts gradually flew up. He drove Haosang over the palaces and pavilions of the ancient capital, flew over the high-rise buildings of the capital, and came to the wilderness, where the endless green grass was the life burned by wildfire; when he came to the desert, the undulating golden sands were the glory of the dust; under the steep cliffs, he was the great shore of the mountains; when he came to the top, he was the pride of seeing all the mountains; in the deep stream, there was a clear stream of flying beads splashing jade; in the thick shade, there were diamonds covered by jade; on the white clouds, there were wingless angels; among the waves, there were strange yachts; among the spring flowers, there was a boy's dream; and on the autumn leaf carpet, there was the poet's loveβ¦β¦
But gradually, he became dissatisfied: it was all these fictitious things that had to be done by computers, and the photo album seemed to be missing the gold content! What are the places where we can take pictures in this huge capital in winter? He thought for a while, although there are many scenic spots in Beijing, he has not found a suitable one. The image of Tiananmen Square flashed in his mind, and he immediately laughed self-deprecatingly: "Relying on its dignity, my Haosang will lose its color!" Then he thought of his creative plan of "reviewing the car", and sighed with relief: "If Chen Xinxin passes the test, this photo album will complement each other with its light!"
After another burst of thought, a set of background photos of modern buildings were determined. I felt that there was still a lack of Beijing's characteristics, so I thought about it again. He thought of the Great Wall, the ancient wall of the winding and twisting of the Badaling, which can take a picture, if there is a heavy snowfall, it becomes a snow-capped mountain, the sun comes out, and the red clothes are wrapped, and there is a sense of historical enchantment, then it will be even better! Somehow he thought of the altar of the earth, the place where the emperors worshiped the land in the past, the land is the root of human civilization, and let Haosang guide people there to think about the meaning of the enchanting tragedy of history, which just constitutes a series!
The photo was still a lot worse, and he thought about it all the way. He wants to make the photo album rich in content and make people love it! Heaven and earth are created, and human ingenuity is ingenious, and he thinks of a few more groups. Rockery Series: Linglong Cliff, Old Stubborn Stone, Baiyun Peak, Wuzhi Mountain, Strange Tree Series: Cuiping Fence, Nine Eaves Tower, Lianli Branch, Acacia Wood, Sculpture Series: Angel of Peace, Goddess of Liberty, Happy Rainbow, Imagine Starry Sky...... He wants Haosang to guide people to appreciate these natural and man-made masterpieces.
Finally, he came up with body art photos. At this time, he couldn't help but think of a poem from "Open Season":
There is much beauty in heaven and earth
The most beautiful and beautiful thing is the person himself
He should also let his toned body appear in the photo album, otherwise, this is an imperfect photo album. However, how to express it? He looked through several fashion pictorials around him, admired the body art photos in them, and finally felt that they were all incapable of being used for reference: How could they imitate the themes that had already been created by others?
Niu Liang walked out of the yard, came to the mouth of the alley, and saw Liu Dong walking towards him, and couldn't help but shout: "Ah Dong-"
Liu Dong was a little strange: "Niu Liang, didn't you go out of the car today?"
The two came together and stopped, Niu Liang looked at Liu Dong and said with a smile: "I want to take a photo album, and I want to design all kinds of photo ideas in the house today." β
Liu Dong happily slapped Niu Liang with his fist: "You can do it! You have started to shoot a photo album for yourselfββ have you planned it?"
Niu Liang: "Most of the content has been designed, and now I'm thinking about body art photos." - Hey, aren't you studying body art photography?
Liu Dong: "Okay! Recently, I have been studying "Open Season", and I am having some experience, see if I can use it?ββ where are you now?"
Niu Liang: "I can't design it for a while, I'm upset, and I want to go out and go around." β
Liu Dong: "I'm fine, let's go with you!"
Niu Liang: "Great!"
Niu Liang and Liu Dong walked through a section of the street and walked towards the ruins of the Old Summer Palace. The two talked as they walked. Niu Liang introduced the origin and general situation of the photo album to Liu Dong. After listening, Liu Dong exclaimed: "You have pushed Haosang to a new stage!"
Niu Liang: "It's just the beginning! Don't brag about my ββ, tell me about your experience in researching "Open Season", right?"
Liu Dong: "You know, after I made a copy of your book, I took it out and read it at night when I had nothing to do." I found that the novel reveals a sense of the sexuality of life things, as if anything can be related to sexuality, a mountain, a pothole, a tree, a piece of music, a pair of strings, etc., and finally it boils down the characteristics of the beauty of the human body to the word 'sexy'. Therefore, I believe that the key to doing a good job of body art photography is to grasp the word 'sexy', and make sure that the picture is full of sexual feelings. If a work of body art that people look at and can't evoke sexual feelings and associations, it's a failure. β
Niu Liang: "You're right! At the same time, in the case of many successful body art works, I think that in order to achieve success, we must also grasp the word 'innovation', that is, we must make the picture new and create an unprecedented artistic conception!"
Liu Dong: "Of course!"
Niu Liang: "How do you think my photo album can be innovative in this regard?"
Liu Dong thought for a while: "Innovation is to be distinctive. The feature of your photo album is to combine it with Haosang, and see if you can make some articles on Haosang?"
Niu Liang: "Haosang's exterior has no unique features, and the various combinations of Haosang do not show new ideas. β
Liu Dong: "What about inside Haosang?"
"Inside?" Niu Liang thought of several artistic photos of beautiful men with similar backgrounds that he had seen in Fashion Pictorial, he had already thought about this problem, and said worriedly, "Will this make people think of kiln cars, think of uncleanness, and thus backfire, and don't want to ride in my car? β
"You're thinking so carefully!" Liu Dong paused, "What about making the picture abstract and beautiful?"
Niu Liang was puzzled: "Abstract and beautiful, I don't understand what you mean." β
Liu Dong smiled and said: "There is another phenomenon in body art that is the opposite of the previous one. If the former is called sensuality or imagery, the latter can be called abstraction. The main characteristic of abstraction is to dissolve sexuality into nothingness, that is, to dilute the sexual feelings of naked people through new visual creativity, and to show another theme that has nothing to do with sexuality, such as some Western nude art works "The Thinker", "Mediterranean", "Air", etc., which are more full of a kind of cultural and artistic charm. β
"Is 'The Thinker' Rodin's? 'The Mediterranean' and 'Air' seem to be Mayor's. Listening to Liu Dong's explanation, Niu Liang gradually recalled the nude sculptures he had seen, and seemed to have an understanding.
Liu Dong happily: "You are very right!"
Niu Liang finally said excitedly: "You are a good staff officer! Just come to a set of abstract series! Help me think about the specific idea!"
So Niu Liang and Liu Dong discussed the specific composition and creativity while walking, and finally designed a group of abstract body art photography works in Haosang, a total of four, they are: "Chaos" - Niu Liang is nude and huddled together, like a chicken egg, with a brown and red complexion, covered with a thin halo, hanging in the air in the car, the background is dark, but the outline is visible. "History" - Niu Liang squatting posture, upper body facing the camera, the left eye of the head is covered by the left hand, only the right eye is exposed staring ahead, the eyes are deep and bright, the lower body legs and feet are facing the camera, forming a horizontal block, only one foot is exposed, squatting on the coffee table, the complexion is bronze, like a statue. "River of Life" - Niu Liang lies on his side on the sofa in the car, zigzag, and his whole body is replaced by blue water, only maintaining the outline of the human body. The head is shaped like a brain-shaped spring, and the two eyes are splashing. One arm is placed in the middle of the side of the torso, and the hand is clenched into a fist and placed on the hip, like a long strip of Jiang Xinzhou. "The Faith of the Mountain" - Niu Liang is lying flat, the developed muscles of his chest and abdomen are like undulating sand dunes in the sunset, and his legs and feet are bent into a tall mountain at the end of the dune, and a praying hand is placed at the junction of the mountain and the sand dunes. The whole picture is framed in gold and hung on the wall of the car.
When Niu Liang listened to Liu Dong's last description, he couldn't help but praise happily: "These four photographs are really novel and uniquely designed, with profound meanings!"
Liu Dong: "The fly in the ointment is that it is not sexy enough due to environmental restrictions! It's a pity that the body created for you! At the same time, most of it has to be done by the computer, which seems unreal." Let's think about it outside the car and see if we can come up with a few real-life portraits!"
Niu Liang smiled and said, "Okay!
The two walked and talked, and unconsciously came to the depths of the ruins of the Old Summer Palace. Looking around, the eyes are full of depressed and withered scenes. The golden fairy tales of autumn have faded, and the vitality of spring and summer is gone, and everything seems to have fallen asleep. The leaves of the trees had fallen to the ground, and only the bare branches remained, and the dead weeds, most of them, lay on the ground, waiting to be turned to the earth. The field of vision has become much wider, and it has become gray and monotonous.
Niu Liang looked at it for a while, his heart was blank, and he couldn't help but say: "There is nothing to see in the Old Summer Palace this winter, especially those bare trees, which are even more terrible scenery! I like the spring, summer and autumn of the Old Summer Palace, the bright spring flowers, the green summer trees, and the colorful autumn leaves, which can give people a lot of inspiration!"
Liu Dong looked at it, and suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, those bare trees are also very beautiful. If flowers are the skirt of the tree, and green leaves are the clothes of the tree, then the branches of the tree are equivalent to the human body. Dresses and clothes are beautiful to people, but the beauty of the human body is incomparable. If you look at those bare trees like naked people, doesn't the scenery come out?"
Niu Liang smiled: "You really know how to associate it! Look at the bare tree as a naked human body!"
Liu Dong smiled and said: "I don't know why, when I see these naked trees, I suddenly feel this feeling! Maybe it was influenced by the thinking of "Open Season". β
"Naked trees?" Niu Liang's heart moved, and when he raised his eyes to look at those bare trees again, his vision suddenly changed wonderfully: they were no longer gray, monotonous, and lifeless, but like naked human bodies, which was heartwarming to see! He gradually became excited, and finally said happily: "Yes! I finally found a real photo!"
Liu Dong also happily: "Tell me about your creativity!"
Niu Liang said excitedly while thinking about it: "The name of the photo is "Naked Trees", I stand in the middle of those naked trees to take a nude photo, back, standing, legs apart, hands up, people and trees set off each other, and become one, how about it?"
Liu Dong exclaimed in surprise: "It's amazingββ you really want to think about it!"
"It's not because of you!" Niu Liang said with a smile, paused for a while, and looked at Liu Dong, "I want to find a large neat forest, which looks more majestic." But am I too little alone? You can join in, do me a favor? And Shen Bao, the photographer, is also on board. β
"It's no problem to help!" Liu Dong thought for a while, and then said, "I don't think the forest should be too big, if it's too big, your image will be small! At most, you can choose a small forest with more than ten trees, but the trunk size should be moderate, preferably an adult tree with a diameter of about 20 centimeters, not small trees and old trees, and the trunk should be straight, so that it will have a masculine taste and complement you! In such a forest, you are enough alone, and too much is not good." The human body should be the finishing touch in this photograph. β
Niu Liang: "You have a point! I'll think about it again when I go back." β
Returning from the Old Summer Palace, inspired by Liu Dong, Niu Liang designed two more portraits of the human body: "Sacred Cliff" - Niu Liang stood naked on the side of the undulating end of an ice and snow cliff, and gradually expanded backwards into a white ice and snow cliff, majestic and holy; These two works, together with The Naked Tree, form a series. In addition, the figures in the "Historical Enchanting Series" were changed to nudes to enhance the expressiveness of art. Niu Liang sorted out all the ideas overnight and wrote a copy. Early the next morning, I picked up my mobile phone and dialed Shen Bao's phone number:
"Shen Bao?...... I'm Niu Liang...... Hello, I've designed it, and I'd like to show you...... Where, I didn't get out of the car yesterday, and I worked at home for a day...... You have good news for me, too? That's great! I'll be right here!"
Niu Liang turned off his phone, picked up the copy, and walked out of the house like a brisk wind.
