Jennifer是一位非常优秀的摄影师,从她的作品中很能看到摄影先辈的影子。第一眼看到《黄石公园 地球最美丽的表面 大棱镜泉》这幅作品时顿时惊讶了,以为是安塞尔.亚当斯的作品再现,仔细看,又不是,两者是有区别的,正如美国当代摄影师Christopher Giglio在介绍摄影大咖们的作品时所做出的归类“像,而不是”(Alike,but different )。接下来的几幅黄石公园的照片,也都有这样的感觉。
Jennifer Zhuang is an amazing photographer. From her work, we can see the shadow of early photographers. At the first sight of the work "The Most Beautiful Surface of the Earth in Yellowstone Park, the Big Prism Spring", we were immediately surprised and thought the works of Ansel Adams are reproduced. But if to look closely, they are not. There is a difference between the two. Just as the American contemporary photographer Christopher Giglio introduced the works of the great photographers into the category of "Alike, but different". The next few photos of Yellowstone Park also have this feeling.
在前面《Paul Strand 为什么要这样拍照片?》的文章里说道:“如果泛性在某种意义上是吸引了我们的注意力,那么细节才是乐趣”。当我们欣赏Jennifer的作品时,能够发现这点,尤其是在《怀俄明州 半月湖 half moon lake》这幅作品的这个特点特别明显。
In the preview article, "Paul Strand: Why does he photograph like this?" said: "If generality catches our attention in some means, specific is more of a joy." When we look at Jennifer Zhuang's works, we can tell such traits, especially "Wyoming Half Moon Lake".
优秀的作品是不会被一眼看穿的,而是会吸引观众的视线一步一步地移动,让观众自己去发现作品隐藏着的“奥妙、精彩”。
Excellent work will not be seen through at a glance but will attract the viewer's sight to move step by step, allowing the viewer to discover the hidden "mystery and wonder" of the work.
《美国国道90 耶稣光》层次分明的天空与透过云层的“耶稣光”强烈刺激视觉感官,顺着“耶稣光”发现了下端的树丛、道路;当视线随着道路“走向”远方时,关注到了小小的来车,并且,车灯还是亮着的,此刻,内心有了一小点“荡漾”;视线又随来车远移,右移,最后发现了摄影师前方的车。到此刻,内心的小感觉变成了“哇哦!这还有车(一个景)啊!”内心的“波澜” 泛起,豁然释怀——“原来摄影师是在车上拍的这幅作品”。本以为这只是一幅空洞的天空图,恰恰相反,这幅作品内容丰富,构图和色彩主次分明,隐藏的“线索”引爆多多的趣味,天空、道路、汽车构成了我们生活当中熟悉的一个场景,把观众带入“暴风雨将要来临”的切身体会中。
In "US 90 Jesus Light", the layered sky and the "Jesus light" that penetrates the clouds strongly stimulate the visual senses. Following the light rays, trees and roads are at the bottom; when the sight trace along the road, there are small cars coming towards this way with lights on, at this time, a little "ripple" forms in the heart; the sight then follows the car to move right and at last discovers the car in front of the photographer. Now, the little ripple in the heart becomes a wave: "wow, here is another car(view)!" A sense of relief comes --- "it turns out that the photographer shot this work on a car." At first, we thought this is just a sky-scape photo, however, there is much more to it: the composition and color clearly define the subjects, and the hidden "hints" spur more fun. The sky, the road, and the car formed the most familiar scene of our life, bring the audience into the eve of the storm "in-personally".
在观看Jennifer另外的几幅作品时,《伯达尼海滩初春嬉水》《夏季徒步》《露营》《垂钓》也是引人入胜,让观众有意犹未尽的感觉,会饶有兴趣的去猜测(思考):作品的“主角们”在干什么?画面之外还有怎样的故事?
Jennifer Zhuang’s other works, "Playing in the Early Spring at Bethany Beach", "Summer Hiking", "Camping", and "Fishing" are also fascinating, giving the audience a feeling that there is something more, and they will be interested in guessing (thinking): What are the "subjects" doing? What kind of story is outside the image?
优秀摄影作品的精彩不仅仅存在于表面的——物理意义上,而更多的精彩是隐藏在作品里,甚至有“弦外之音”,可以引发观众心理变化,带来思考的。欣赏Jennifer 的作品就有一个从视觉变化再到心理变化的过程。
The excitement of an excellent photographic work does not only exist on the surface---in the physical level, but hidden in the work, and there are even "implications" that can trigger changes in mental focus and bring thoughts to the audience, which there is a process of visual change followed by focus change when appreciating Jennifer Zhuang's works.
