今年5月份,在广州参加了摄影师张千里的街头摄影workshop, 两天线下的理论与实战学习,让我受益匪浅,同时也让我深感自己摄影技术还多有不足,需要不断实践提高,就如张千里老师说的,摄影这件事,急不来,急也不来。
街头摄影的魅力是无穷的,因为在街头摄影中,每一个人的动态都不被复制、不可重现,你永远都不知道下一秒会有什么不同。那些“未经事先安排的偶然瞬间,有趣的光影组合,漂亮的色彩,耐人寻味的巧合,如同命运安排一般不可思议、又耐人寻味”。
找来著名街头摄影师的十句名言分享和自勉,也把这次拍摄的照片整理贴出,给自己做个记录。希望以后能拍出更多满意的街头摄影作品。
1. “If your photos aren't good enough, then you're not close enough” – Robert Capa
“如果你的照片不够好,那表示你还离的不够近”
2. Photographers mistake the emotion they feel while taking the photo as a judgment that the photograph is good” – Garry Winogrand
“摄影师往往因为主观的情感投射而误认自己拍摄的照片都是好的”
3. “Since I'm inarticulate, I express myself with images” – Helen Levitt
“因为我口齿不清,所以我用画面表达自己”
4. To me, photography is art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. - Elliott Erwitt
“对我来说,摄影是种观察的艺术,是从寻常的地方找到趣味的事物……我认为摄影与你所要拍摄的物件没有太大的关系,重要的是你用什么角度去观察。”
5. “It's more important to click with people than to click the shutter” -Alfred Eisenstaedt
“与人们产生情感连结比按下快门更重要”
6. I suspect it is for one's self-interest that one looks at one's surroundings and one's self. This search is personally born and is indeed my reason and motive for making photographs.” – Lee Friedlander
我不认为一个人观察自身及他周围的环境是为了个人利益,这种观察与寻找的行为是与生俱来的,也正是促使我拍摄的动力。
7. “I love the people I photograph, I mean they're my friends. I've never met most of them or I don't know them at all, yet through my images I live with them.” – Bruce Gilden
“我爱我所拍摄的人们,意思是说我把他们当朋友。我几乎不认识我所拍摄的任何人,但透过镜头会让我觉得自己与他们很亲近。”
8. 'There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.” – Henri Cartier Bresson
“在街头摄影的过程中创意表现的瞬间非常非常短暂,你必须懂得如何看到那个当下所提供最真实的构图及情境,且要用直觉判断何时按下快门,那就是决定一位街头摄影师是否有创意的瞬间。啊!就是现在,一旦你错过那个瞬间,它将一去不返。”
9. “Seeing is not enough; you have to feel what you photograph” -Andre Kertesz
“光观察还不够,你要去感觉你所拍摄的对象”
10. ”Be yourself. I much prefer seeing something, even it is clumsy, that doesn't look like somebody else's work” -William Klein
“做你自己,我宁愿看到风格不够纯熟的照片,也不想看到近似其他摄影师风格的照片”
