Yangtze River flooding
<< decryption process of winning
[Moderator]: He Yanguang name in Chinese news photography almost no one I do not know, for HE teachers are not familiar with online friends can see the decentralization of our text description window. We want to talk about today is the news photography, first of all start from a photograph. attention to current affairs News online friends on the picture will not be unfamiliar, it is this picture won the first prize, whereas before, it also won two other awards, (the people of Photo Press Photo 2005 National Award for Best News, China News Photography Award 2005 Gold Award) for the photo industry has been a lot of evaluation and analysis, then, your own photo of this place where the most satisfied?
[He Yanguang]: I think this picture I am most pleased that I shoot, I expected a few pre- points are achieved, for example, I wanted to take the body to wait for Lien Chan and Hu Jintao when the two move to each other, hand when the hand does not hold together, I was fortunate enough to advance these points are expected realized. < br> [host]: Can you tell us about is how to achieve?
[He Yanguang]: I Lien Chan to Nanjing in the first two days, I went to Nanjing, but I do not have documents, so Lien I took the plane in Nanjing not, I can only watch TV in a hotel inside the live broadcast. The next day, Lien Chan, I did not pay homage to Sun Yat-sen documents, but the good news is Sun Yat-sen is not martial law, I can see that even as a tourist battle line. That so many people, but I also photographed a more satisfactory picture, that is, the people welcomed Lien Chan and his entourage, he waved, greeting, the background behind the Mausoleum. I returned to Beijing, If I wanted to meet with Hu Jintao and Lien Chan, if I can get a press card, I should shoot it well. I can say that the picture for three days in advance how to shoot, because the first to occupy a very favorable terrain . Lien morning speech at Peking University, speaking to an end so I quickly take the car back to the newspaper the newspaper, I told the driver to go to dinner, have to leave after 15 minutes, because the Town line. formal meeting is at 3 o'clock But when I arrived it was 12:30 or so, I want to at the top, as also carry out safety inspection.
Why is it so? you want to ensure that you stand in a favorable terrain. mainly two The meeting, if your position stand out of the way, a person may be photographed positive side after the other person is, and this picture may not be easy to use, and can not succeed. So the location is very important to the occupation. Of course I I does not matter as early as possible to the station to the middle position, I would like to have a choice, because the position of journalists a few steps, a photo of several ladder, I want to stand on it. Why stand as much as possible to the top ? so making up the relatively clean background, that is, carpets and floor, if the station to the ground on the film, even if this moment is the same, the City Hall in the back door, windows, staff may all enter into the picture, it is not too clean. Of course, in this process, because the location of fine to stand two hours, I took the test again and again. Why should a test shot? I rarely use flash, when I do not want to start with, but then saw no grasp, because the vast majority of 200 photographers are using flash, you do not affect your other flash exposure, so that you can not control. but how much flash? the open to open, or use 1 / 4, 1 / 8, 1 / 16 to capture the light, I have been tested. I press the camera shutter tested 50 times, until 3 o'clock, Comrade Hu Jintao arrived a minute or two before, and then Lien Chan came. chasing with my camera War, of course, there is a risk, why are the risks? we now see Lien Chan is taking the steps, if a small half-step step steps to press the shutter, then the picture is completely failed, so they will soon the moment I took shake down. but not the second photo, Lien side passed.
participate in the selection is very important to Debu winning is not important
[Moderator]: a picture has so many stories I know you wrote an article called Competition then cast a vote. For this picture in the itself tends to focus on war, disaster, etc., which has deep historical meaning, but the performance of the scene seems calmer than winning a good subject. you agree with this statement? how this view you see?
[He Yanguang]: of these comments I have seen online, but the Chinese race, However, having lost in the international photographic competition is what I expected. as many international judges of the past 60 years the two parties is not necessarily so familiar with the background, Lien Chan of Taiwan, we Chinese people are very concerned about Taiwan, the KMT concern, but to get inside view of international news, I think many judges who are the people fighting again and again I am afraid may not know, because these judges are not necessarily politicians, may not be so understanding. This photo is only in Chinese, which in the Chinese world so that we may be feeling. because of the background and everyone lives as foreigners in terms of people not concerned about this, passing by, this might be normal. but it is not particularly concerned about the people to war, disaster. I think this is two questions I think this is quite normal.
[users]: You just said do not care Debu winning, but the fact you got a lot of awards. This year the second time this picture is that you get first prize in the China News Award , and 1 Special Award, 4 times the national good news photography prize, and some other awards, one by one we can not say that, given so many awards, can you give us about the secret of success?
[He Yanguang]: You see all my winning message, you do not see me in a number of photography competitions Mingluosunshan time, indeed. I do photography just when the winning excitement began in the early stages or very excited when the winning stage, how should I say. because into this business, was the judges acknowledged, recognized by society, the mood is understandable. But doing the doing the winning for you but others of a test, a reporter a long time, we should be aware of. Why you should attend award? Because, after all, is part of the judges in the test you. but because the judges point of view, position or other for different reasons, but also Awards can not be said that every time this work was on how to how to award. I have also been many times the judges. and we are the test, is a promotion. can not be said for your evaluation of these tests play a decisive role, but after all, is an evaluation. and we took photographs, our aim is to give the public view, communication to the public, so this evaluation is also indispensable less, but do not take it too seriously. because every award, awards are always limited, always a lot of work, assessment is always on the minority, can not say where to go backward not elected. There is also due to the Sometimes the award of reasons have not withstand scrutiny, we have repeatedly occurred in fake photo still winning. So I would like to participate in the selection is very important to forego the award is not important.
[Moderator]: I know that you are the personnel are clustered to the years, and now my name is image director. our photography department does have a group of journalists over the years quite well. First I begin by thanking the photography department, chief editor's office, newspaper editorial leadership is attention to the picture. attention to image than since I started, before me, this newspaper used the picture with the terms of the current word is more happy, fortunate that inherited this tradition. From this position 85 years after I took over I would like to thank the young people reported a more relaxed environment. because we are engaged in this work, very strong business and which are suitable for doing that, not all suitable for engaging in photography, may be He is a good word journalist, but may not sit in this position is a good photographer. I am fortunate in so many years into our photography department, the newspaper is to respect our leaders and Personnel professional advice, selecting our to the election, we have chosen one after the personnel department visits, to see what other problems. If not, then, to the party to go through. So I for so many years, after I hand tune several people.
an example of the contrary, our editorial manager, Wang Shi, a year he had recommended to me a man who said I had an old colleagues, old friends of the children like to do photography, we thought this to you look okay. I understand the situation was not satisfied, I told the old editor Wang said this man can not, he said no can not. So I recommend people editor I did not want to, this is normal and will not affect me and the relationship between leadership, in turn, from photography to professionalism is respected, and I think this is a group of good news from photography very important reason. The whole environment is very good.
photographer: The camera is your tools
[Moderator]: I heard that when you are very strict selection, and the questions are very difficult to predict elections from the central leadership to the popular TV series of the name, but compared to the professional press photography but relatively few problems, you think of a news photograph of plastic material should be what?
[He Yanguang]: We consider an editor, admission to a reporter, I'm basically out of question. Indeed, as you said , but the problem is not difficult. I have to take the test with some graduate students, graduate students, college students to chat, I asked how they feel about issues they feel difficult. but it looks like all understand that not all the time put pen to paper answer was right, we are all questions from the life of common sense, political sense, social sense to assess. do professional photography on the weight proportion of the very few questions. We then consider a photographer can not be a photographic tool, the camera is your tools, you are a news reporter, you have to have all aspects of the overall quality of journalists. So the students take the exam, these questions do not seem difficult, is to have books on the table, you do not know where to search from. We require the accumulation of normal, when a photographer is very important to the accumulation of normal, I have an idea, a photographer for life if you know to what degree the extent of the photos can be photographed.
[Moderator] : photographers can not just look at his photography skills, the most important lies in the mind, creativity.
[He Yanguang]: Yes, because we consider only the photographer who is not really like photography, we really want to enjoy photography You will consciously put into it. In addition, we also look at writing ability, understanding of problems, foreign languages, and many other aspects.
[Moderator]: Speaking of news photography in my collection of selected information about you when found that many of your articles about news photography to the students by the amount of Zhuantie job, inspirational, life planning, and so the theme of the website or BBS, and you are often invited to speak at colleges, for many like you want to be a good young college students photographer, you can give them some life planning advice you?
[He Yanguang]: hard to say, because college students learn the professional variety, everything. I do not want all the students like When a photographer photography or both, which is impossible. But I think it is very important that you really like this business, and as a news photographer is facing the lens of our people, facing the society, you others, of the society must maintain adequate enthusiasm and concern, not a bad photographer this point when.
[users]: What do you think HE teachers photojournalism university education, how should you think this gates Shanghao Photojournalism Lesson?
[He Yanguang]: Many universities have a journalism department, there are professional photographers, and some schools have done quite well, but some school photography education to make me a little cloud cover fog cover, the problem is too old materials, and the actual binding is not tight. news photography in this course, in general, the ingredients should not be too much technology to learn photography speaks to chemical, physical stresses meaningless, because the students here to study the film can not. Now the digital technology can make a right-thinking people, a day to master, two days to be proficient in the use of, but it is important to his practice, his understanding and knowledge of life, so this course to learn photography, to read the camera is the least important, it is important to your mental, vision and stamina. When a qualified photographer, you need to get used to study the social, interest in other people, to know how to live common sense, compassionate, but also a resilience .
[users]: photographer's equipment should be the most important, can you recommend a suitable photographic equipment, what are your own equipment?
[He Yanguang]: I can remember correctly, the users , I said, speaking on the photographer, the equipment is the most important. I mean is that more important than equipment is your brain, eyesight and physical strength. I just do photography when, like the back lot of equipment, heavy , very tired, but I think I'm in front of others like a photojournalist. did some came to realize that, in fact, every interview is to not take so much equipment. I am now every interview computers, chargers, and other things are put in the room, I only back at the scene of a camera, with only two shots, and even too lazy to wear a photo vest, in order to save energy, you do not know how long the interview would cost, and some lenses you to before taking two steps forward, three steps backwards, scene changes have to play a different lens effects. So, the more simple and practical as possible.
basis of news photography: true, accurate, natural, vivid
[User]: twenty years, many major events in China, you have left an important image. your choice and take the basic standards of what is news
[He Yanguang]: simply, the basic standard can be said are eight words, the normal stresses of life in the shooting, settings are not required?
[He Yanguang]: Some of the photography world counterparts, learned their art in the past, it is a fact. But people like me a lot, and painting missed. photographic artists to paint pictures and may create There are many similarities in places, but after all, is not quite the same. the artist is to a piece of paper from scratch, with the addition in his own emotions, sense of expression. the photographer can see from the eye things, the use of subtraction to remove something unrelated to what they have to show the frame fixed, he uses a subtraction. on the composition, the fine arts of some of the gold mapping method, such as X-shaped, triangular lot of composition way, in our time is photography beginners need to study and learn from them. Once you mature, and all the rules you should not be limited framework. So when the photographer in the composition, how comfortable I feel is how to, how to fresh how to. Of course, everything can not be excessive.
[users]: HE teacher, you also need to photograph the object anyway, Why?
[He Yanguang]: I take photographs, to be photographed object to the principle of non-interference Sometimes, in order to maintain this principle, you may completely fail the interview, take a bad photo. Only in two cases, appropriate intervention can be the subject. One photo, posed for some photographs also useful mode of expression The. One environmental portrait, for example, a writer I want to take pictures, I hope his background as a sub-shelf. because I want a photo, and environmental portraits, pictures of readers is a look at this photo, a look that portrait photos will not be true and false questions raised. In addition, those who can not let the subject for the photographer, news photos are not film stills.
journalism: public opinion is public opinion at the same time
[User]: Yesterday's most beautiful women here with reporters Cao Aiwen users to exchange, choose to save her spot in the press interview given up, how do you see the relationship between responsibility and ethics?
[He Yanguang]: When we recruit journalists have a question, The puzzle is, as a photographer if you encounter someone involved, and under what circumstances you can take pictures, in what circumstances you can not take pictures? talk about is what it means. If someone shot you can save the drowning person, if the scene is you, this time saving is the most important. professional and ethical journalists are always parallel, we are doing, when public opinion, all the time you have to accept the supervision of public opinion.
[User]: He teachers, news photography planning you should pay attention to?
[He Yanguang]: I have been in the media do not understand how to do the plan. perhaps more familiar with TV's editors and reporters of this, I think when the facts are the primary and News the interview is secondary, if arranged in advance a plan, the facts in your desired specifications, which do not comply with the laws of their own press it. in terms of photographers, it is not planning to as much as possible The rush to the scene, there is no site there is no picture, which features the work of news photographers determined.
[users]: Why knowing is a bad act took place, the scene at the mercy of a news photographer to be interviewed still popular?
[He Yanguang]: is the fraud took place, and fraud is not a phenomenon unique to the photography world, it is a very serious social problems. In the news photographers who do believe that truth is theoretically News of life, which no one has objections, but do it often, we see another set, because sometimes editors can be deceptive, the judges also can be deceiving, and named after, is good for their own benefit. So not too much effort fraud can have a good return. So some people it is still very attractive. to change this situation is not only photography, but rather a problem of society as a whole.
[ ,],[media which have been described, for example, one photographer took a peasant family suffering from AIDS, the process from birth to death is very real, very shocked, his international award-winning for granted. I know that many aspiring documentary in silence, the real record of our society and engage in photojournalism and documentary practice have one thing in common, you should sink to the bottom of society, not impetuous, tenacious, unyielding, true to life, so you work to impress others , fishes the social sense.
[users]: I have heard children's reporter took Faye to get 50 million, then as a photographer to become a slave to gossip and money, how do we treat these journalists?
[ ,],[Take 50 million, or 50, are worthy of moral torture.
shoot all the photos that I can understand the pursuit of
[users]: HE teacher how you took the course in news photography? What it touches you?
[He Yanguang]: I was the experience of the Tiananmen incident in 1976, who, two years after the event to be vindicated, and then held a private memorial people photography exhibition, attracting millions of viewers in Beijing, causing a very great social repercussions. This is a very big impact on me one thing, although I also took some pictures, but for the first time recognized the photographs can produce such a huge social force, that from the start this time, I With the new understanding of news photography. because what I experienced, so I was probably deeper experience.
[users]: HE teacher I think you are a special person of integrity, you are shooting If you are experiencing man-made obstructions, how do you?
[He Yanguang]: The best way to take photographs when other people have found before you press the shutter, if you encounter a man-made obstruction depends on the specific circumstances, sometimes not go on fighting, looking for new opportunities, may be a good way. Sometimes it may involve the right people in the portrait or the reputation that you have to respect your subject is.
[users]: You positions have been shooting mine, in the Guangxi interview mine, I walk in the grass every step of the hair is erected, and I remember I went to the hospital when the altar, feeling just as nervous as to the mine site. I think that a mature journalist, is not afraid not without tension, but can in the shortest possible time, to make their own adjustments over, calmed down. such as SARS wards, I can see a lot of doctors and nurses from the more recent patients, and patients who stay longer, this fact you can not touch me!
[users]: He is the teacher what you Keeping warm? you have a passion for it, because I think a lot of the things that did not get the shot. I usually charge way is to study, because a person's experience is limited, knowledge is limited, more knowledge and experience can get from others, That is indirectly obtained. So I'm reading is a way of charging. I read the book more complicated, read the last two months, three novels, is a person, he wrote of the Romance look at how your family is it? When you go to dangerous places, there is no stop You?
[He Yanguang]: 91 East flooding, my mother was dying patient, I still stood by her side, the day her room floods in the broadcast television news, she opened her eyes suddenly asked me a When family members are concerned about, but they know more about the work I was doing news, and not much to block. The only thing I can do is all the stringent requirements by hospital care of yourself, safe for home.
[User]: HE teacher you which books are published? can tell us about it? Where can I buy?
[He Yanguang]: I have not had an album, I feel prepared enough, timing not mature enough to report to the reader the way I was promptly put the pictures in the newspaper. may be one day out of a collection, but now was not ready.
[users]: if your blog is not frequently updated , I wish I could often read your latest work, and your thoughts.
[He Yanguang]: not updated my blog, this is a friend to help out, and I mainly do not have time, if you do the blog is not frequently updated, I'm really sorry friends. I think two or three months later, I am going to get about, but do not intend on it every day, for a week, two weeks have posted up some new things.
[He Yanguang]: Thank you very much for giving me and the People's surfers the chance, I am a photographer, I never think our work is not appreciated for the Azeri circle should be let in outsiders who do not understand photography, can understand pictures, and that is what we seek. Therefore, it is good or bad a photo can really comment on it's readers. I hope the chance to continue to hear the views of readers. Thank you!
