As a humanistic work taken by Chen Xing, the style is as stable as ever.
But the market is not big in the West.
What do they know about mountaineering? They don’t understand how sacred Kailash is to this old man, and humanities works are about storytelling. If you want Westerners to understand this photo, it must be paired with a large
Just use paragraphs of text to explain.
This is too troublesome for both Chen Xing and Western collectors.
Unlike the ancient Buddha stone wall photographed by Chen Xinggang, it is obvious that the scenery is beautiful and the light is stunning.
In addition, Chen Xing has made great progress in the past two years and is about to win an award in Arles. Based on the idea of investing in advance, so many museums want to collect this work.
They are not afraid of losses.
No loss at all.
Seth asked: "What do you think? Moreover, the National Museum of Nepal has asked me about this photo before, but maybe it feels that you are not famous yet, so there is no follow-up."
Chen Xing was a little unconvinced.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel that I am better off in France. It is estimated that my fame will not spread to the surrounding areas until Arles is over this time.
Photography is a small circle. Every city, every province, and every country has its own circle of photographers. Some people are always called big shots in urban groups, but in the provincial circle, it seems
That's it.
It still depends on the awards.
Another trick is to ask seniors to help, like Dellin who Chen Xing knows. If Dellin is willing to introduce Chen Xing to other countries, then there will be no need for awards, and his reputation will gradually spread.
.
Otherwise, there are so many talented people who want to go to prestigious schools. The alumni circle has a really great impact on a person's career.
But now Chen Xing is still very confident, he feels that he can take the first path.
"It's okay if it's cheap. At least my own country has collected my works, so I feel better."
"OK, I will contact them again later."
While Seth and Chen Xing were talking, Abbott was not idle. After Seth turned on the computer, he took the mouse and looked at Chen Xing's photos. These photos were all rated by Seth, and only a few of them were five stars.
Zhang, the two black ones mean they have been sold.
One of them was not for sale. It was given to the Paris Art Association for almost a cabbage price before Chen Xing signed a contract with the gallery.
This made Seth complain for a long time.
This is a work that won an award at the Winter Photography Festival, and was given away for just a few thousand euros?
This is also Chen Xing’s only work that can be seen for free.
Anyone who goes to Montmartre to visit the Red House will be able to find Chen Xing's "Snow Mountain Climber" among the works of modern and contemporary artists.
Abbott said: "Well, it would be nice if you had more pictures."
Chen Xing and Seth were chatting about the layout of the photography exhibition the day after tomorrow. When he heard what the boss said, he had a stress reaction - it was the same person who said this last time and asked me to go back to China and take pictures of several ancient towns.
?
He almost didn’t recognize the word “guzhen” anymore.
"I've taken a lot of photos."
"But there are still too few top-notch ones. This year you only published a photo of the Buddha statue."
"I think so too, boss..." Chen Xing said helplessly, "This year I have to be busy studying and dealing with the teachers' homework. Where can I find the time to go out and relax and travel? And it's not just a trip."
You can find these scenery."
This requires the combination of heart and scenery.
Looking at Chen Xing's masterpieces, whether they are Miao Village, Mountaineering, Mountaineers, or Buddha's Light, which one is not made with sincerity?
Without fate, I would never be able to take a photo like this with a camera for a hundred years.
Abbott smiled and said: "I am just sighing, but you should also hurry up. I know that many photographers are less creative as they get older. You should take more photos while you are still young." Chen Xing didn't dare to vouch for it and nodded with a grimace.
Chen Xing himself also wanted to participate in this photography exhibition, and the boss, Abbott, happened to be there too, so the three of them decided together which works they would exhibit the day after tomorrow.
Buddha's light is the most important.
As a landscape masterpiece that Chen Xing took painstakingly this year, it was shot straight out of Hasselblad without any modification, no color correction, and no modification. This represents a truly natural picture, and its value is much higher.
The price of ordinary original films is definitely not as good as that of modified ones, but the original films are so beautiful without retouching, which can be said to be extremely rare in the photography world.
Rare means precious.
After determining the theme, I selected some matching photos from Chen Xing’s remaining four-star works.
One of the reasons why Abbott values Chen Xing is that his film production is very stable.
Five stars are not often found, but after color grading, Chen Xing is able to create his own unique flavor from many works that originally looked ordinary.
Time flies by.
Arles is still the city of sunshine, attracting countless tourists and photographers in July, August and September. Countless media from various countries also sent reporters here to report on the awards in a few days.
Nowadays, Arles is no longer a hotel.
Even in the living room of a private house, there may be one or two guests from out of town.
Arles is so beautiful.
But small is really small.
In addition to the award ceremony, there are at least ten photography exhibitions every day, which are also topics that tourists talk about.
In fact, no matter who the photographers working in Arles are, they are undoubtedly capable.
Chen Xing just saw a photographer yesterday who is very good at shooting in black and white style. He is over sixty years old and insists on shooting with film. The composition is really... Chen Xing has to admire. Some artists look at life from a different angle than ordinary people.
The difference is huge.
For example, a street can be divided into four parts evenly by just using composition.
Chen Xing's composition is definitely qualified, but compared with these people, he is still a little behind... But!
But Chen Xing’s colors are amazing.
He has been to Arles for so many days and has seen many photography exhibitions. It can be said that no one can compare with him in color mixing. Chen Xing can even say that he is the best in the world in the use of color.
The more works he has seen, the more confident Chen Xing will be.
Early this morning, the gallery was taking down other people's works, and then placing the photos taken by Chen Xing in various locations in the gallery. Fo Guang's work is in the middle of the gallery, where there is a skylight, from 10 o'clock to 4 p.m.
Everywhere will have light shining down from the skylight.
A bright environment is a necessary condition for enjoying this photography exhibition.
A promotional photo of Chen Xing was placed on the street outside the gallery. His handsome appearance attracted the attention of many passers-by, as well as the words "sunset: chenxing" written on it
sunset means setting sun.
The theme this time is sunset, and there are a lot of sunset scenes shot by Chen Xing. The main subjects include ancient Chinese buildings and natural scenery in the mountains.
Chinese people have a special liking for the sunset.
Chen Xing also hopes to convey his love to tourists who come to visit Arles.
