Fuji X100 10th Anniversary Street Fighter Challenge, which lasted 9 months and exceeded 500,000 submissions. The members of the jury vote together to select the winner of the final grand prize , Street Fighter 2021. After careful consideration and repeated screening by the international jury, the group photo "Wish 2" taken by photographer Haze stood out and won the "Street Fighter 2021" grand prize
Title: Wish 2
Photographer: _Haze
Camera used: Fujifilm GFX50S
Description: "Wish 2" pays attention to some of the fine and ordinary states of people in modern cities, and pays attention to some scenes with weak "energy" and "lens attraction". The high-resolution and high-quality Fujifilm GFX medium format system, wide-angle lens and flash fast shooting are the working methods of this group of works, corresponding to the large scale, lighting characteristics and "ordinary sense" on the composition.
Entanglement with the "real world" has always been a feature that distinguishes photography from other mediums. It is like a sharp sword, close to the social scene, giving photography a critical look. But the photos are "not realistic", and can only take those "realistic details". So I rejected the narrative, the work that led to "poetry", to a certain kind of visual pleasure, and I thought that my photographs could wander roughly in those ambiguous and direct stunned intervals.
Judges' Comments:
Well-known photographer Wang Yishu:
pretty
The strangeness and beauty of turning the three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional plane with a camera,
It is one of the secrets of the language of photography.
Magnum photographer Alex Majoli:
This group of works made me see the harmonious symbiosis of reality and virtuality.
It is not the lack of beauty in the world, but the lack of eyes to find beauty.
