转折点

A Turning Point
转折点

Long ago, I heard a very good phrase: “You have to create yourself, not to search for yourself”. When I became keen on photography as a mature man, at the age of 34, I couldn't photograph at all. Of course, my first works looked primitive, cheap and far from being interesting. But even then, I realized that I wanted not just to photograph, but to do it better than anyone else I knew. Achieving this goal involved a lot of learning: I studied the best photo works by popular photographers, attended various workshops and watched hundreds of tutorials. And, of course, I kept photographing time and again.

I gradually accumulated and expanded my knowledge. I was overloaded with theory, but my photos were still not much better than when I'd just started. I didn't succeed to put the acquired knowledge to practice. At times, I would really worry during the photo shoots, make a lot of mistakes and be unable to technically implement my ideas. 

Then, during the “Сontemplation” photo shoot, I experienced something crucial. My eyes as if got opened. I saw, realized, felt how to take this shot: shot arrangement, model's position, angle, light, dynamics, mood. I seemed to have developed the sixth sense, which I'd had no idea about.

I finished this photo shoot. Then I slightly retouched the photos and uploaded them to several photo resources. The next day, I logged on these websites and saw that ALL these resources had rated the “Girl with a suitcase” as a photo of the day!

As I was reading through hundreds of positive feedbacks, I was smiling and tears were running down my cheeks. I realized I'd created myself as a photographer. “I finally succeeded!” I thought. The knowledge I'd accumulated found its application, and it was worth it. On that very day, I was fully aware of the fact that that photo was a start of my journey as a photographer.

很久以前我听到过一句话很好:“你必须创造自己,而不是寻找自己”。当我作为一个成熟的男人开始热衷于摄影时,34岁的时候,我根本不会摄影。当然,我的第一批作品看起来很原始、廉价而且一点也不有趣。但即便如此,我意识到我不仅仅想要拍照,而且想要比我认识的其他人做得更好。实现这个目标需要大量的学习:我研究了流行摄影师的最佳摄影作品,参加了各种研讨会并观看了数百个教程。当然,我不断地拍摄。

我逐渐积累并扩大了自己的知识。我的理论太多了,但我的照片仍然比刚开始时好不了多少。我没有成功地将学到的知识付诸实践。有时,我在拍摄过程中会很担心,犯很多错误,无法在技术上实现我的想法。

然后,在拍摄“Сontemplation”照片时,我经历了一些至关重要的事情。我的眼睛仿佛睁开了。我看到、意识到、感受到如何拍摄这张照片:镜头安排、模特的位置、角度、光线、动态、情绪。我似乎已经发展出了我之前不知道的第六感。

我完成了这张照片的拍摄。然后我把照片稍微修了一下,上传到几个照片资源里。第二天,我登录这些网站,发现所有这些资源都将“带着手提箱的女孩”评为当天的照片!

当我阅读数百条积极反馈时,我微笑着,泪水顺着脸颊流下来。我意识到我已经把自己塑造成了一名摄影师。 “我终于成功了!”我想。我所积累的知识得到了应用,这是值得的。就在那一天,我充分意识到这张照片是我作为摄影师的旅程的开始。
