"First Prize of the 2021 French Winter Photography Festival - Climbers in the Snow Mountains" Photographer: Chen Xing Anyone who has seen the previous photos will quickly know that this new work is obviously the same style as the previous one Yes, this once again proves that the Chinese young man is the real owner of the previous set of works.
A local Nice photographer looked at the picture, nodded and said: "Usually when we shoot landscapes, there are no human figures in the landscapes. They are only used to show the original outdoor scenes. Even if there are, humans are used to show nature. The grandeur of humanity and the insignificance of human beings. This work made me change my perspective.”
"Indeed, there are obviously many people in this photo, but everyone is indispensable. Together they make up this work." Looking at a scenery alone, who can tell you how majestic the scenery 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, people's small figures are climbing up with all their strength. It seems that the peak is already close to Chichi. A person in the distance turns back to give instructions. This is for Don't leave any companion behind.
This work has a sense of friendship, courage, and adventure. Chen Xing secretly came out of the office.
He stood behind the crowd and looked at his work from a distance. First prize. Chen Xing didn't know whether the first prize was compensation given to him by the organizing committee, or whether he really liked his work... It might be both, but it was only good for Chen Xing.
Although Chen Xing complained that this photography festival was a bit shabby before, it is second only to the Arles Photography Festival and is the top photography exhibition in France.
After winning the first prize, there is a chance that Chen Xing will be selected in the photography festival’s selection. For example, gold medals, silver medals... However, Chen Xing is still a little self-aware. He has seen a lot of good works here, especially an aurora work shot by Icelandic landscape photography. No matter how you look at it, it is better than what Chen Xing took. Zhang’s works should be good.
Even Chen Xing himself likes it very much. Therefore, he didn't think about it. With this first prize, he would be satisfied if he could rank higher in the photography exhibition.
Chen Xing quickly realized that his fortune had turned out recently. First of all, the final time of Huawei's photography event is coming. He is the first place, and the article of National Geographic China is also going to be published. Then he casually walked around here and actually caught the thief who stole his work.
This is a very sad thing. But it was a blessing in disguise that a work that I was quite satisfied with skipped countless previous selection rounds and was directly awarded the first prize after only passing through a few judges, with a bonus of 10,000 euros.
After all this calculation, I have a lot of money that I can put into my account recently? Buy a lens! Buy the best! There was a lot of traffic in the exhibition hall, and soon everyone stopped paying attention to Chen Xing. Chen Xing could also appreciate the works of other photographers here again, especially the more than ten pictures that were awarded first prize. Give Chen Xing some feelings.
I have visited some before. On the Internet or from my friends, I heard that there was an extra first prize, and some people came here specifically to see it.
Chen Xing also discovered that some people who looked like media reporters were also filming his own works. This greatly satisfied Chen Xing's vanity.
Chen Xing walked through most of the exhibition hall. A staff member he had met before came to Chen Xing and said: "Mr. Chen, our Winter Photography Festival will end tomorrow. The gold and silver awards will be announced by then. We hope you will also Come and participate." He handed Chen Xing an invitation.
Chen Xing took it over and took a look. The invitation was beautifully made. It said the holder of the invitation was invited and that he could bring one person to the Winter Photography Festival party.
"Can I get a prize?" Chen Xing asked curiously.
"Well, I don't know about this. I'm not a judge..." Chen Xing nodded, smiled, and said, "Sorry, I will go." He was planning to return to Paris the day after tomorrow. After all, His travel visa only lasts for half a month and is almost over.
In fact, Chen Xing did not spend too much money. It seems that the purchasing power of the euro is still very strong. Chen Xing, who was in a good mood, hummed a little tune and walked out of the art museum. 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, I would like to ask whether the previous set of award-winning works were stolen without your knowledge, or were they authorized by you. What do you think of Mr. Zhang? Will you hold him legally responsible?"
"Hello, we are from Paris Art Newspaper. Do you have any more works?" Chen Xing faced this kind of scene for the first time. He didn't react, and he was still a little timid in his heart.
But after being stunned for a moment, Chen Xing quickly recovered his smile.
"I'm Chen Xing. I really didn't know about the previous set of works, but that's a thing of the past. If you haven't visited it yet, I think you can take a look at the newly put on the shelves. That's my original work. level." Of course he wanted to sue the man named Zhang, but there was no way.
It is difficult to define the copyright of photographic works. Chen Xing can certainly say that he took the photos himself, and everyone believes it, but there is no authoritative copyright agency to prove this to Chen Xing.
Moreover, even if he has a problem with this person, it is his own domestic matter. Being a clown is not worth wasting your current good mood.
After answering a few questions, the reporters gradually dispersed, with only the person from Paris Art News still standing.
He watched several reporters go to interview other photographers, and then said to Chen Xing.
"Mr. Chen Xing, we hope you can contribute articles to our newspaper. Your climbing series are very contagious. I believe that both I and the viewers who have seen your works are looking forward to seeing the people in this set of photos. other works."
"Thank you, I will." He has saved a lot of photos, and after searching, he can still find a dozen or so that are above the standard.
If that doesn't work, he can just send them the ones on site B, and that should be enough. When Chen Xing thought 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 and said: "Hello, I am Dennis. I like your climbing very much." Series of works, can we have dinner together later?" It seems that the previous works have already had a little influence among photographers, so even though the original works have been taken off the shelves, these photographers still like to use the climbing series to This group of works is called Chen Xing.
Dinner? It seems that I am not treating myself to dinner alone. But it's good. Chen Xing can get to know more people in the photography circle. After all, next year, he will probably have to come to France to study photography for a long time.
