Chapter 105: Gérard Euferat
The photographer who helped Lin Zhengrong take pictures was called Gérard Euphira, a famous French photographer, and it can be said that the other party was completely Dior's royal photographer.
can become a model under his lens, without exception, they are not supermodels.
In fact, the other party was famous for recording the works of Dior's haute couture workshop from the beginning, so the guests at the Haute Couture show of Dior's debut in China were also able to enjoy the exhibition of each other's works.
In January of this year, the talented photographer visited Dior's headquarters at 30 Avenue Montaigne to capture the birth of the mysterious and unobtrusive atelier and the Haute Couture show.
Therefore, in Gérard's backstage records, a large number of wonderful scenes are about the close-up of the tailor, all of which record how the senior seamstresses in the backstage of Dior's haute couture atelier wear reading glasses and obsessively do the final combing of each gorgeous dress against the backstage hustle and bustle.
Tailoring pleats, sequins, lace, embroidery, pearls, all the details find their perfect home in the hands of the tailor.
This kind of tradition, which has been precipitated over the years, is indeed very ritualistic.
Because of these elderly seamstresses, most of them have been working in the Dior Haute Couture workshops since they were teenagers, so these pictures seem to bear witness to their lives.
These experienced artisans have followed the international journey of the hand-stitched couture collections from the Christian-Dior Haute Couture atelier at 30 Avenue Montaigne to sew these perfect garments.
From the images of Gérard Eufila's exhibition, the guests of the show will even have such a picture in their minds, those Dior haute couture dresses that cannot resist the common sense of cutting and sewing, must witness the magical process of turning from chrysalis to butterfly in the whole process of garment-making.
Such a guy is really good at mobilizing the inner emotions of the audience.
The exhibition of those comic strips, which seems to show the scenes of Dior's haute couture workshops in front of everyone's eyes.
In addition, the haute couture show in the 798 art district uses 3D printing to reproduce the appearance of the haute couture workshop at No. 30 Montaigne Street, Dior's headquarters.
Therefore, the whole film festival is like a movie, recreating those classic pictures for the viewer.
In fact, after the Gao Ding show ended, when he learned that the other party was going to take promotional photos for himself, Lin Zhengrong was pulled over by Li Li to watch the other party's film festival.
In fact, Gérard Eufila's records repeatedly appear in such images - the glamorous model in the foreground has been changed to a haute couture model, and in the background is an A4 makeup photo pasted on a concrete wall or a gantry, and the model in the photo has a serious expression.
The casual demeanor of these models is completely revealed.
Obviously, the glamorous model who appeared in his film festival is just like Chestnut, she is a newcomer.
His eyes were a little confused, and there was a look of nervousness.
Under his lens, they can all be well expressed.
It seems that the next fate of this new model can be left on the haute couture show, through these contrasting backstage photos.
Chestnut did look at it very carefully, and with a sigh, he said, "Gérard still has a very personal style, and he doesn't even let go of his shopping bags." ”
The shopping bag in her mouth is not a shopping bag given by shopping in the mall, but a kind of extra-large shopping bag, if you continue to watch, you can find that there is a big shopping bag under each makeup photo, these shopping bags correspond to the number of the makeup photo, used to store the gorgeous clothes of each model catwalk.
These things are very precious, and the reason is simple, they are used to hold clothes.
Each piece is hundreds of thousands or millions, and this thing is precious.
Therefore, every shopping bag has a life-threatening dresser, and even a pair of high heels or an accessory can be a fatal psychological blow to the designer who pursues perfection.
So, in a sense, these shopping bags hiding under Gérard Euphira's lens are the most important role in the backstage.
Lin Zhengrong smiled and said, "It's just a show!"
"Cut!" and then exchanged for Chestnut's disdainful voice, "You have the ability to dare to say these words when you see each other." ”
Lin Zhengrong rolled his eyes, "I'm not stupid. ”
Yin Hong, who was following behind them, obviously also heard their conversation, and hurriedly reminded, "Gérard's temper is not very good, when you see each other later, try to be respectful." ”
Hearing this, Lin Zhengrong was embarrassed.
This is the second time he has been caught by Yin Hong.
Chestnut smiled coquettishly.
In fact, the promotional photos they took were makeup photos.
Because the two of them were temporarily cut into the queue, the previous makeup photos were not taken, and in addition, Dior's official publicity was needed, so Gérard was asked to help shoot.
This is an ad hoc decision.
In this case, the other party can be in a good mood, then hell.
"Because in an hour, the reception will begin, so there will only be twenty minutes for the make-up photo, and Monsieur Gérard will have it ready, and I will take you there now. Yin Hong said.
The location where the photo was taken was actually at the show.
Even though it's night, the huge searchlight makes the whole slender thing look like daytime, so you don't have to worry about the lights not stopping.
In fact, studio shooting is mainly lighting, if you shoot outdoors during the day, you also have certain requirements for natural light, and now you can use light to complete the light source problem when taking pictures at night.
There are outdoor shoots and of course studio shoots.
Lin Zhengrong is also busy in the corner where they are shooting, some people are preparing lights, some people are carrying reflectors, and some people are carrying cameras on the photography tripod.
"Mr. Gérald, the model is here!" Yin Hong brought Lin Zhengrong and Li Li to a foreigner with a hat, and then said respectfully.
Don't wonder, this is Gérard Euphira.
Gérard is not the same as the average fashion man with a tall and thin figure and a somewhat bewitching appearance, this guy is a fat man.
and Eddie Lisman's pursuit of thinness as beauty, are completely two extremes, and I don't know how such a guy became Dior's royal photographer.
But this guy is mixed with the fashion circle after all, and some personal characteristics are still there, the two beards on his face are very eye-catching, not only that, but he also has an African style of dirty braid tied on his head, and the whole person is full of artist's commotion.
A guy with this kind of style, just by looking at the appearance, knows that he is mixed in the fashion circle.
Lin Zhengrong hurriedly stepped forward, and then said in French, which he was quite proficient in, "Mr. Gérard, hello, my name is Lin Zhengrong, this is a classmate Lili, we are all models who came to take pictures, I bother you." ”
"Hmm. Géral responded with a cold and arrogant attitude, and then glanced at Lin Zhengrong and Li Li with slanted eyes, and then ignored him.
That look, it seems too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
directly put Lin Zhengrong aside, which is a little embarrassing.
