黑白写真:飞翔的Halsman，俄罗斯籍摄影师，犹太人。Philippe Halsman的童年可谓非常坎坷，在一次和父亲去奥地利徒步的过程中，父亲不幸因大脑撞伤而死亡。此后Halsman就被误判为弑父罪，冤枉地坐了四年牢，在Albert Einstein写信帮助下，后脱离了牢狱之灾。此后Halsman来到法国开始为时尚杂志进行拍摄工作。这组照片是Halsman最具代表性的时尚摄影作品。从最初的Dali Automicus开始，他陆续为各种大牌创作了飞翔的照片。其中不乏梦露、赫本、温莎公爵及夫人等大牌人物。此后，在结识了Elizabeth Arden这样著名的商人后，Halsman获得了前往美国的可能。在此之后，他又拍摄了一系列非常著名的人像，其中包括那张为Albert Einstein拍摄的人像，后被用于TIME杂志的封面 来自http://dd.mu/=nNV+c
I chose to emulate Weegee’s style of urban life photography in today's modern world of Disneyland. Disneyland is a fast-paced, high-density, and culturally diverse environment, it was only fitting. Although my photograph does not capture a certain event or tragedy, it does capture the color, the weight and density of a type of photograph Weegee would have captured himself. In my photograph I made sure it was black and white with a high-contrast. The original did have color, but it was already night time; I adjusted the lighting to make sure it gave dark and vibrant. Weegee is known to capture raw and powerful images; I believe with my photograph I am able to capture a sense of immediacy, and facial expressions that suggest an emotion that he would capture as well. In Disneyland people are accelerated and may be overstimulated, trying to get from point A to point B, and that is the emotion I tried to capture for my rendition photograph of Weegee.
For this photograph, I chose to imitate the style of Weegee, a photographer known for focusing on urban life and strong lighting to capture the modern city at night. Weegee’s work focused on everyday things like cars, buildings and streets. His photographs often relied on high contrast and available light. In my photograph, I chose to take two parked cars at night with a brightly lit modern building in the background. The glowing taillights and interior lights create sharp contrast in the darkness, just like Weegee’s use of artificial light to draw attention to structure and form. The cars serve as symbols of modern life, while the building is the modernist architecture and design. I did not stage or alter the scene, I allowed the environment to present itself naturally. This straightforward approach aligns with modernism by focusing on realism, urban subject matter, and the visual impact of light within a modern city setting.
