He is the top photographer in China, in the fierce competition of the photography circle, can become a front-line celebrity in the photography industry; he is also an elite, from the most fashionable photography frontier to the wedding photography circle, leaving a momentary beautiful light and shadow for countless stars and the public; he is also a dreamer, from photography to film director, has been pursuing his inner dream... Within a few years, this pioneering generation of young people opened 4 wedding photography agencies across the country, served as CEO, and in a few years created hundreds of millions of flows for enterprises and embarked on the peak of life.
His story tells us that dreams still have to be had, and if they come true. He is like a high-performance stock that supports long-standing red, and like a glass of mellow wine, which lasts for a long time, he shoots well, and shoots really well.
He is You Yi, a front-line photographer in the domestic fashion industry, a member of the jury of the International Qualification Certification Center (ACIC) in the United States, the founder of Xinyi Image, is the protagonist of this article, in his early 30s, he has already achieved fame, and the commercial photography of going south and north has coated his appearance with a light black, and the innocent photography skills under the dark skin, he is now a photographer and will be a film director in the future.
<h1>Dream Start: The Big Boy's Colorful Road</h1>
As a photography enthusiast, the younger brother, in line with the idea of "playing SLR poor three generations", once lost for a while, but finally gave up for some reason, is there time to fiddle with the camera, so the domestic fashion photography, especially the content of the visual department direction is still relatively familiar, and also pay attention to him.
You Yi, a photographer, personally prefers his unique photography style, but is more concerned about his photography path. Compared with the "abandonment of dreams" of himself, You Yi's story interprets a clichéd story that few people can do - dreams and inspiration.

You Yi's dream is colorful, and he used the 0.01 seconds of pressing the shutter to retain too much fleeting beauty, and also retained his colorful dreams.
Because I have played photography, I know that if I want to get ahead, from professional photographers to today's domestic first-line fashion photography masters, the royal photography of many popular stars, this is very, very difficult. Probably every boy has a photography dream in his heart, and You Yi is no exception.
But the road of photography is really not easy to go, lies in two points, first of all, you need to have a certain talent for the sense of lens and visual aesthetics, the beauty of photography, relying on teaching is not fun, mainly talent and experience. Secondly, the photographic equipment is really big, and it is always impossible to play. Knowing this, you will understand how difficult it is for You Yi to get to this step.

Looking at YouYi's photography road, there is quite a taste of "curve saving the country". He was a post-80s man from the Academy of Fine Arts, but his career journey began in another industry - forming a band. In his own words, he sang to fulfill his childhood dream, that is, from then on, "fulfilling dreams" became synonymous with Youyi's career.
Like many teenagers with dreams, reality is not as kind as we think, and when the dream is broken, he is helpless like a child, feeling frustrated and confused. But as many people say, a life without setbacks is imperfect, without the shattering of singing dreams, and without today's front-line photographers.
From the guitar in my hand to the camera, that is, in a single thought. The excitement of youth made him decide to devote himself to this industry in his 20s, which was a new dream. The experience of the Academy of Fine Arts has made him have an innate sensitivity to beauty, and more success is inseparable from his own efforts and the accumulation of experience.

A large number of browsing professional photography materials, go everywhere do not forget to study the visual expression contained in a photo, even when you see the advertising film in the subway station, You Yi will think, the composition of this photo and lighting, if this photo is taken by yourself, how will the composition be how to light, gradually, You Yi in such a focus, developed their own style, but also their own characteristics, is the kind that domestic photographers lack - from the perspective of the subject, with visual interpretation of their voices.
<h1>Constant pursuit of the ultimate: YouYi's photographic style interpretation</h1>
Under the photographer's lens, nature is filled with the most gorgeous things, including magical architecture, unique styles, strange clothing, and vertical and horizontal sounds, these elements are intertwined, which is a rare hardcover picture book. Photographers have a variety of temperaments for their works, or extremely enchanting, or luxurious, or fairy tales, or beyond the realm of reality.
You Yi & Huang Shengyi
Today's You Yi, for photography is a light road, You Yi before each photography, will make sufficient preparations, communicate with the photographic object, with sufficient preparation, to shoot a photo that can properly reflect the characteristics of the photographic object. At the same time, these works can also highlight their unique concept of composition and lens, bringing the audience a different visual impact from many aspects such as image elements, photographic composition, light and shadow tone, color language and movement form. "Simplicity is not simple" and "constant pursuit of the ultimate" are the craftsman spirit he follows.
This is You Yi's Zhou Dongyu with the shooting, the original film did not go through any PS, from the inside to the outside of the natural reality, the Zhou Dongyu fresh and natural temperament of the film out.

Moreover, as an oriental photographer, You Yi's visual style is different from the Oriental Italian visual department, but prefers a combination of East and West. There are really not many photographers who can control the characteristics of the East and the West. In You Yi's works, it can take into account the beauty of Oriental freehand and also has the characteristics of Western romance, and the cumbersomeness revealed in the minimalist composition is still the pursuit of aesthetic subjects into the aesthetic object, and the object is integrated into the realm of subject unity.

In addition to the collocation style of tone and composition, the most prominent style is the character state, and You Yi's works interpret the inner heart of the character through composition and tone and character state.

As a photographer, You Yi quoted a sentence that the fox of "The Little Prince" said to the little prince: "It is to make a certain day different from other days, to make a certain moment different from other moments." ”
And the real taste and luxury is not on the surface, but in the in-depth texture of every detail perfect to the extreme. Just like the works of Ren Dahua and Zhang Jiahui, the traces of age on the faces of the two film emperors, as well as the background composed of the petaled cheongsam women, are undoubtedly the strokes of God, allowing us to see the vividness of the years.
