Dreams梦
Once the interviewer asked me: “Have you fulfilled your childhood dream by becoming a photographer? For instance, have you bought yourself a Rolls-Royce?”
I found this question very moving, as I’d never wanted myself a Rolls-Royce. Before taking up photography, I’d owned a chain of dry laundries, and I still do. This is my major source of income. Thanks to this, I didn’t seek to monetize my photos, I sought to create beauty. I could afford to spend a lot of time on arranging an eye-catching shot even though I knew I wouldn’t make any profit this way, but only suffer losses: I’d spend money on the hotel, gas, clothes loan and outrageously expensive photography equipment. And you know, my happiness has nothing to do with buying a Rolls Royce, but with the fact that I found myself. I was 34 when I took the camera. At that time, my life was stable and quiet. Yet, something was itching inside of me, I was longing for creative fulfillment.
As a child, I received photography magazines; as a young adult, I admired Helmut Newton and David Hamilton, and once Instagram came to being, I tried myself in the art of photography. The era of digital photography was disappointing: a huge number of bodies, no aesthetics… And I thought that pure erotica had nothing to do with intentional sexuality and bright makeup; it’s about everyday life, routine clothes and ordinary life situations. I showed that harmony and sexuality can be simple – as if you’re peeping through a keyhole.
有一次面试官问我:“你小时候的梦想成为一名摄影师了吗?例如,你给自己买了一辆劳斯莱斯吗?”
我发现这个问题非常感人,因为我从来不想要自己拥有一辆劳斯莱斯。在开始摄影之前,我拥有一家干洗衣店连锁店,现在仍然如此。这是我的主要收入来源。正因为如此,我并没有寻求将我的照片货币化,而是寻求创造美。我可以花很多时间去安排一个引人注目的镜头,尽管我知道这样不会有任何利润,但只会遭受损失:我会花酒店、煤气、衣服贷款和令人发指的钱。昂贵的摄影设备。你知道,我的幸福与购买劳斯莱斯无关,而是与我找到了自己有关。当我拿起相机时,我已经34岁了。那时,我的生活安定而平静。然而,我内心有些渴望,我渴望创造性的满足。
小时候,我收到过摄影杂志;年轻时,我很崇拜赫尔穆特·牛顿 (Helmut Newton) 和大卫·汉密尔顿 (David Hamilton),Instagram 诞生后,我开始尝试摄影艺术。数码摄影的时代是令人失望的:大量的身体,没有审美……而且我认为纯粹的情色与有意的性和亮丽的妆容无关;它是关于日常生活、日常服装和普通的生活情境。我证明了和谐和性可以很简单——就像你从钥匙孔里偷看一样。
