虾想:摄影的方向

(2016-09-28 15:48:34) 下一个

刚才读到这个:

Leo Johnson interviewed the 71-year old photographer [Sebastião Salgado]about his life and work. In the Q&A that followed a young student, probably around 21 years old, asked what he would recommend a young photographer to start his career today. And Salgado answered:

“If you’re young and have the time, go and study. Study anthropology, sociology, economy, geopolitics. Study so that you’re actually able to understand what you’re photographing. What you can photograph and what you should photograph.”

纠结摄影方向的同学,都是在试图回答“understand what you’re photographing. What you can photograph and what you should photograph.” 作为我自己来说,我很喜欢人文题材的摄影,但是What CAN I photograph? 作为业余爱好者的我,能真像专业人士那样长期拍一个有意义的人文关怀的主题吗?我有这个决心去吃这个苦深入生活吗?似乎不能(至少在没有退休之前没这个勇气和勤奋)。我似乎还是拍糖水这一块比较适合,在日常生活中捕捉令我心动的画面,尽量不重复千人拍万人拍的构图。

YellowPear 回复 悄悄话 这张照片实在是。。。看不出什么人文情怀,也没有构图上可圈可点的地方。
