Chapter 143: The Circle of Photographers
"2021 French Winter Photography Festival First Prize - Climber of the Snow Mountain" Photographer: Chen Xing Those who have seen the previous photos will soon know that this new work is obviously in the same style as the previous one, which once again proves that the Chinese young man is the real owner of the previous group of works.
A local photographer in Nice looked at the picture and nodded and said: "Usually when we shoot landscapes, there are no portraits in the landscape, only to present the original outdoor scenes, and even if there are, human beings are used to show the grandeur of nature and the insignificance of human beings." This piece made me change my opinion. ”
"It's true that there are obviously a lot of people in this picture, but each one of them is indispensable, and together they make up this work." Looking at the scenery alone, who will tell you how magnificent the view is?
So a reference is needed. In this work, people are the reference objects of the snow-capped mountains, in the huge snow-capped mountains, the small figures of people are climbing hard, it seems that the peak is close to the end, and a person in the distance turns back to command, this is to not leave any companion behind.
It's a work of camaraderie, courage, and that sense of adventure. Chen Xing secretly came out of the office.
He stood at the back of the crowd and watched his work from afar. First prize. Chen Xing also didn't know whether this first prize was compensation from the organizing committee, or if he really liked his work...... Maybe it's both, but it's only good for Chen Xing.
Don't look at Chen Xing's previous complaints that this photography festival is a bit shabby, but he is second only to the Arles Photo Festival in France and belongs to the top photography exhibition.
After winning the first prize, Chen Xing will be selected in the selection of the photography festival. For example, the Gold Award, the Silver Award...... However, Chen Xing is still a little self-aware, and he has seen a lot of good works here, especially an Aurora work shot by Icelandic landscape photography, which is better than this work taken by Chen Xing no matter how you look at it.
Even Chen Xing himself likes it. Therefore, he didn't want to have more, with this first prize, he was satisfied to be ranked a little higher when he finally appeared in the photography exhibition.
Chen Xing soon realized that he had come to work lately. First of all, the final time of Huawei's photography activity is coming, he is the first place, and the manuscript of Huaxia National Geographic is also about to be published, and then he came here casually and went around, and actually caught the thief who stole his work.
It's a very sad thing. But it was a blessing in disguise, and a work that made me more satisfied skipped the previous countless selection links, and was directly awarded the first prize with a prize of 10,000 euros after only going through it once on the side of a few judges.
In this way, I have a lot of money that can be credited to my account recently? Buy the lens! Buy the best! There was a lot of traffic in the exhibition hall, and soon everyone stopped paying attention to Chen Xing, and Chen Xing was able to appreciate the works of other photographers here again, especially the more than ten photos that were awarded the first prize, each of which can bring Chen Xing some feelings.
Some of them have visited before, and on the Internet or in the mouths of their friends, I heard that there is an extra first prize, and some have come to see it.
Chen Xing also noticed that some people who looked like media reporters were also filming their own works. This greatly satisfied Chen Xing's vanity.
Chen Xing walked through most of the exhibition hall, and a staff member who had met him before found Chen Xing and said, "Mr. Chen, tomorrow our Winter Photography Festival will end, and the gold and silver awards will be announced at that time, and we hope that you will also come to participate then." He handed Chen Xing an invitation.
Chen Xing took it and took a look, the invitation card was beautifully made, with the holder of the invitation written on it, and that he could bring someone to the Winter Photography Festival party.
"Can I win the prize?" Chen Xing asked a little curiously.
"Well, this, I don't know, I'm not a judge......" Chen Xing nodded, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, I'll go." He was ready to go back to Paris the day after tomorrow, after all, his travel visa was only half a month away, and it was almost over.
In fact, Chen Xing did not spend too much money, and it seems that the purchasing power of the euro is still very strong. Chen Xing, who was in a good mood, walked out of the art museum humming a song, and before he could walk down the stairs of the art museum, three or four reporters with microphones surrounded him and asked, "Hello, are you Mr. Chen Xing?" ”
"Sir, may I ask whether the previous group of award-winning works was stolen without your knowledge, or was it authorized by you. What do you think of Mr. Zhang, and will you hold him legally responsible? ”
"Hello, we are from the Paris Art Newspaper, do you have any more works?" Chen Xing faced this kind of scene for the first time, and he didn't react a little, and he was still a little timid in his heart.
However, after being stunned for a moment, Chen Xing quickly regained his smile.
"I'm Chen Xing, and I really didn't know about the previous set of works, but that's in the past. If you haven't been in yet, I think you can take a look at the new one on the shelves, which is my level. Of course he wanted to sue the surname, but there was no way.
The copyright of photographic works is difficult to define, of course, Chen Xing can be said to have taken it himself, and everyone believes it, but there is no authoritative copyright agency to prove this to Chen Xing.
Moreover, even if he has an opinion about this person, it is also a matter of his own country. A clown, it's not worth wasting your current good mood.
After answering a few questions, the reporters dispersed, and only the person from the Paris Art Newspaper was still standing.
He watched a few reporters go to interview other photographers, and then said to Chen Xing.
"Mr. Chen Xing, we hope you can contribute to our newspaper, your climbing series is very infectious. I'm sure both I and the audience who have seen your work are looking forward to seeing the other works in this group of photographs. ”
"Thank you, I will." There are a lot of photos he has saved, and if you look for them, you can still find more than a dozen photos above the level.
No matter how bad it is, he will send them all the tickets on station b, and it should be fine. When Chen Xing thought that he could find a place to eat and then go back to the hotel to sleep, a person who was still being interviewed got rid of the reporter and ran to Chen Xing's side and said: "Hello, I'm Dennis, I like your climbing series very much, can we have a meal together for a while?" It seems that the previous works have had a little influence among photographers, so even if the original works have been taken off the shelves, these photographers still like to refer to Chen Xing's group of works as the climbing series.
Dinner? I don't think I'm going to invite myself to dinner. But it's also good, Chen Xing can get to know more people in the photography circle, after all, next year, he will have to come to France to study photography for a long time.
