Chapter 204: Overturned?
Chen Xing looked at them in surprise. Ellijie looked at Chen Xing and nodded with a smile. Today's job is to be a photographic model, so who shoots or not?
Anyway, in the end, there are only a dozen of the best photos that can be used, and the rest of the photos will be destroyed after they are eliminated.
Chen Xing was not confident anymore, and when he waited for Ellie Jie to change her clothes, he secretly asked Dellin.
"May I?"
"I'll teach you, little things." His teacher said to take Chen Xing to take a look and learn the shooting ideas of commercial photography.
But Dellin feels that any shooting technique is not something that can be learned simply by looking at it, and it is not yet a matter of getting started.
So with the models agreeing, he is also willing to give Chen Xing such an opportunity. As for the brand side and the magazine...... The photographer is the biggest in the shooting, and the third party counts as a p.
Time passed little by little, and Chen Xing was a little apprehensive in his heart. Commercial photography is different from the way he is used to shooting, Chen Xing's previous shooting, his works are all for himself, and after a long time of shooting like this, all his works have a strong 'Chen Xing style'.
That's a good thing. But in commercial photography, that's the bad thing. Yes, commercial photography is of course also a photographer's word, just like Dellin now, he has to shoot the whole shooting scene as he wants.
A big star like Alyselle also has to be obedient, and the brand and the magazine don't dare to say anything.
But that doesn't mean Chen Xing can too. Commercial photography is a commercial activity that serves the overall goal of the business and cannot be mixed with too many photographers' personal styles.
He has to be fashionable, he has to be novel, he has to end with a product, and he has to attract the viewer's desire to buy. Why doesn't the Paris Academy of Fine Arts accept Chen Xing?
Don't you just think that Chen Xing's shooting style is old-fashioned, and he is a townsman from the East, and he is not fashionable enough?
At half past seven in the evening, Dellin put down the camera and said, "Change into Chanel's winter clothes, Star, you get ready." Chen Xing pursed his lips, took a sip of the coffee he had just received, and stood up with the camera.
Ellie went to another room to change her clothes, and Dellin stepped back from the front of the photo area, took the coffee from the assistant's hand, took a sip, and then closed her eyes and savored it, without any intention of mentioning Chen Xing.
Chen Xing walked to the middle of the reply. He still doesn't know what kind of fashion Ellie will wear when she comes out in a while, and what color the fashion will be, so he doesn't move at all right now, standing there with the camera in hand, while carefully observing the surrounding scenery.
The most important thing about commercial photography is lighting. Even in the current era of advanced technology, it is still difficult to make up for the lack of light in commercial portrait photography in the later stage of photography.
This appearance of doing nothing seems a bit dull to the people around me. A man from the magazine frowned and said, "Does he really know how to take pictures?" How do you feel like a newcomer? ”
"Photographers in China are so rare."
"Ellie Jie hasn't come out yet, what do you think he can do? Give people a little tolerance. "When Dellin was a photographer before, the audience was very quiet, but now there are a lot of noisy sounds, which also makes Chen Xing's heart a little messy, but on the whole, Chen Xing's expression is quite relaxed.
Dellin was much more relieved. Soon Elle came out wearing Chanel's unreleased winter fashion last year.
Last year, it was not released. This is not a conflict, because every year the theme of the fashion industry changes. This year's is a return to nature, so there are a lot of wild elements, as was the case in the previous shoots.
But now Ellijie is wearing a fashion that uses the popular theme of last year's 'outdoor trend'. Overalls style black pants, I don't know what the fabric is, Chen Xing hasn't paid attention to clothing before, but the surface looks too silky, unlike ordinary cargo pants, the belt is a very thin women's belt, and the edges are shiny.
The top is wearing a white hollow high-waisted shirt, revealing a part of the white and tender skin, and from a distance, I thought it was a dress woven from countless jewels, and it seemed that I could see the underwear worn inside, and then a handsome fur black coat.
A gemstone necklace in the same color as the white cut-out garment is also shining brightly. Chen Xing's lips were so dry that he couldn't help licking them.
Damn, that's beautiful. Is this winter clothing? I didn't have such a strong temptation when I wore summer clothes before, I can only say that Ellijie's current short hair is very suitable for the current set of clothes, and Chen Xing himself probably likes this style.
Chen Xing didn't understand what style. I guess he can see it a little more clearly when he gets closer, after all, he only likes pretty.
Ellie sat down in the high chair in front of her and said, "Then please, Star." As soon as she spoke, Chen Xing remembered that it was time for filming, and Chen Xing had to adjust her lighting to match the outfit that Alyselle was wearing now.
Chen Xing didn't have an assistant, so he adjusted the lighting he wanted. But in reality, he didn't know how to shoot it yet.
Fashionable dressing, he now understands a little bit. The first friend he made when he first came to France, Abel, was majoring in fashion/luxury management, and during that time she thought that Chen Xing's clothes were not good, so she often taught him how to wear them during her trip to Paris.
The effect is remarkable. But how do the photos reflect this fashion? He brought the main light closer to the model to highlight the atmosphere, and the second light was a horn light, after placing it, Chen Xing went to the props and found his most commonly used orange filter, so that the light illuminated was with a warm feeling.
This is also the first time that Chen Xing has given up the shooting method he is familiar with and used commercial photography that he understands, so he doesn't know if the result is good or not, so let's try it first.
Take the camera and take a look. I had the feeling I wanted. But it's different from the works I've seen before, this kind of fashionable and sexy outfit was photographed by Chen Xing to feel like a retro 90s good dock, fortunately Ellie has short straight hair, not curly hair, otherwise it's really a retro photo.
A group of people stood in front of the computer and watched, and as soon as Chen Xing's shutter was pressed, the photo that Chen Xing had just taken was immediately displayed on the computer.
The eyes of the magazine were shining, and they felt that there was something about the cutting-edge photographer. Chanel's face was solemn.
Dellin was a little helpless. It's not that it's badly shot, Chen Xing took it beautifully, and anyone who sees this photo will like this chic and sexy woman in the camera, but ...... This is not the effect Chanel wants.
You're making Chanel Givenchy. He couldn't help but remind: "Theme, theme!" "Chen Xing's advantage is that the works he shoots have a strong personal style, but the disadvantage is also this, after all, Chen Xing is not a photographer who starts from scratch little by little, from learning to transcendence, and then has his own style.
His style was set from the very beginning. So it's hard for him to accept other shooting ideas now, even if he is already trying to change it, it's still too different from the needs of the brand.
The tone set by the CHANEL team for this shoot is the theme they have been living all along, a practical glamour, a charming love.
Chen Xing experienced this kind of love and filmed it. But not flashy. Everyone is even more discussed, Chanel people like Chen Xing's works, and some are dissatisfied, but the people in the magazine have a very high evaluation of Chen Xing's works, at least admitting that Chen Xing is indeed a bit of a standard.
Although the shooting is different from the needs of the brand, for the audience, it must be based on feeling the beauty.
Chen Xing heard Dellin's shout and wanted to think differently. But some people are also saying, "Keep shooting." ”
"yes, it's pretty good." Chen Xing himself thought that the shooting was good, so he looked at Ellie. She smiled and changed her posture and said in a mischievous tone.
"Shall we proceed then?"
“ok.” Chen Xing nodded. No matter what Chanel's people think, but in a photoshoot, the photographer and model are the most critical, when Chen Xing and Ellijie want to shoot, Chanel can only wait for them to finish shooting before giving their opinions.
The French are still well-behaved. If it's a small, informal kind of commercial shooting. As long as the brand feels that the photographer is not doing well, whether he understands photography or not, he will go up and stop the photographer to say a few words, which feels like grabbing the photographer's camera and shooting it himself.
But Chanel had already made up her mind to put Chen Xing on their blacklist. This photographer doesn't match their ideas.
The first group of works was completed quickly. Chanel was in talks with Dellin to ask him to reshoot the set later, and Dellin agreed...... No matter how well Chen Xing took them, these photos could not be used, at most Chen Xing and the model themselves should stay to commemorate them.
In a commercial shoot, the photographer must first follow the constraints of the commercial strategy, and the idea and creation must reflect the personality and style of the product, show the characteristics and advantages of the product, and obey the needs of the product, rather than the photographer's personal needs.
In the second group of shooting, Chen Xing shot as fashionable and young as possible. But the final result is not as good as the group he shot just now.
After this group of works, Dellin said, "Let me do it, Star, you can adjust the lights according to my arrangement." "He's going to teach this little junior brother.
Chen Xing nodded and said: "Okay......" Dellin also stood next to him during the shooting, and listened to him say: "As long as you let go of your dedication to photography, it is not difficult to be a good commercial photographer. That's what Dellin really thinks, and he thinks that as a commercial photographer, it's all about relationships.
How else can you make money? They finished filming at half-past eight, and everyone got off work at this time.
In order to ensure the quality of the shooting, Dellin and Ellie Jie did not eat, in fact, the photographer is fine, but the model must not eat, and he has to pay attention to his diet a day in advance, so as not to look bad when his lower abdomen bulges.
Models don't eat it, and photographers certainly don't eat either. Everyone beckoned to get off work for dinner, and the people of Chanel gathered around Dellin to put forward their opinions, hoping that Dellin's post-production would be more in line with their ideas for the outfit.
Chen Xing sits in front of an empty computer and looks at the work he has taken. The first set was ok. The second set is not satisfactory no matter how you look at it, and the shooting is just one point, mainly the style.
He doesn't think that the style Chanel wants is better than the style he thinks, and everyone is different in aesthetics, just like Chen Xing regards Liu Yifei as a goddess, but Zhou Peng only thinks that Liu Shishi is the most beautiful.
In fact, they are all beautiful, but their personal aesthetics are different. Give up your own aesthetic choices and accept someone else's?
Chen Xing was a little unreceptive. Dellin walked over, looked at Chen Xing's frowning appearance, and said with a smile, "What are you still watching?" You have the disease of a top photographer in advance, haha, you can't say it's bad, but it still has a great impact on your mid-career. "Before you become an independent top photographer, there is always a time when you have to cooperate with other photographers.
In this case. If Chen Xing doesn't make a change, then there won't be too many photographers who want to work with Chen Xing.
Chen Xing wanted to say something to refute, but Dellin didn't care at all, and said: "Let's go, call it a day and eat, your work can be kept, you can keep it, haha, this is your first time in the field of commercial photography." ”
"I know." Chen Xing said. Then a voice said, "Can you give me a copy too?" Ellie changed her previous outfit and walked over from behind.
It is said that Europeans are easy to gain weight after marriage, but this law does not seem to have any constraints on Ellijie, Chen Xing searched on the Internet and found that she has been married for more than ten years, but she is still slim.
Dellin quickly said, "Absolutely. Then he stretched out his hand and shouted,
"Prieto! Come here, trouble! "Prieto was spearheaded by the Chanel film, a tall skinny man.
Dellin called someone over and talked about it, Prieto agreed without much thought, and didn't even tell Ellie Jie anything, but just turned back to Chen Xing and said, "If we choose to enter the classical field in the future, we will definitely invite you to shoot." He also patted Chen Xing's shoulder, looking encouraging.
However, when Chanel, who advocates fashion simplicity and youthful beauty, comes out of fashion that they think is outdated, then there will be some waiting, unless retro is popular all over the world, Chanel is estimated to join this fashion trend.
Ellijie looked at Chen Xing's work and couldn't put it down. She's not young anymore. Ellijie was the most popular around 2000, when she just became famous, and she didn't have a good experience of the feeling of fire, so she chose to quit the entertainment industry because of marriage, and she made a comeback in 07.
There is a saying that I don't know when to say. Chen Xing's commercial photography made her feel like she had returned to the time when she was sought after by countless people.
When she was putting on makeup just now, she heard Chanel's makeup artist's evaluation of Chen Xing. Corny? Classical is always popular, okay.
At this point, she decided to support Chen Xing. So the two added a friend, and Ellijie's team was already calling her name, she turned around and said to Chen Xing: "You are the best photographer I have ever seen, don't care about the discussion of a small group of people, come on!" ”
