My name is Song Aimin, I am sixty-six years old, I am a retired employee of the state-run photo studio in Chengwu County, Shandong Province, and after I retired, I opened a small photo studio on my street to supplement my family. My father was an employee of the service company, I took over his class, began to be a custodian in the service company, in seven or five years the company recommended me to learn photography technology, studied in Qingdao for more than a year, and came back to work in the state-run photo studio. #自拍我的故事 #
I have never left the photography industry in my life, and when the state-run photo studio is not running well, the rest of the unit is doing it and not doing it, just doing it myself. The others are not professionals, and they can't open themselves, and they are transferred away. At that time, the family also wanted me to transfer to another unit, told me to go to the bank to work, invite a guest can be, at that time I thought I like this photo, I went there to do something, so I did not go.
I have taken the most photos in the countryside, and I have taken pictures of all eighteen townships in our county, and now many families in the villages have my photos. There are many people in the village who take family portraits, student graduation portraits, and ID photos, and the most common are family planning ID photos and student photos.
In the past, triangular light, side light, smooth light, backlight, and semi-backlight were all the cases. Now I don't pay attention to these, I feel that it is better to pay attention to light, because you pay attention to light, and the photos also have a three-dimensional sense. In the past, when we were studying, teachers asked us to watch the movie, what kind of light the image was when it came out, what kind of light was the front, what kind of light was the side, mainly to deepen the learning and use of light, and we also learned from the aspect of watching movies.
Once, I went out of the nine women's township to take a photo of people, at that time it was a six-inch photo of the black and white tripod machine, when I took a photo, I was not true to the right, that is, the bottom was clear and the top was not clear, it was very anxious, to be honest, there was still time to shoot, it was not illuminated, after I came back, I was the bench fell how high the bench fell, I repeatedly tuned, kept studying, what is the reason, and finally found the reason. Later, the county model workers' meeting included other meetings, and I took pictures of them. That was the one I remember the most in my photographic career.
Another time, when I took a picture of the plan, some pregnant women, she did not ask you to take a picture, they said that the photo was to suck their blood. In fact, it is a family of two, the man's face is a little black in the field all day, the woman's face is white, after washing out the photo, you have to repair it, it must be a black face and a white face, so we have to deal with him, this face white with red to him to flush it, so that the face of the two people is the same, they just see the photos we processed, did not look at the processing process, he does not understand, so think what is blood sucking.
Ninety percent of every township in Chengwu County, big and small Zhuangzi, I have taken pictures and walked through them. I have basically traveled to the middle and primary schools, and for forty years, I have gone to the countryside to take pictures every year, and the village is very familiar with it, and I have made friends with many people.
Now digital photography is convenient, but the digital effect is not as good as film, in the past with film out of the photo, and then a color, the effect is quite good! Colored photos have been put for decades is still very clear, now digital photos, you will save again, through the wind and sun, at most it will fade in a few years.
I have such a prediction, it is very likely to go back to that black and white coloring time, because after a long time, everyone has known each other, and everyone must still think that the coloring is good, whether from an aesthetic point of view or from the perspective of preservation time, the colored photos give people a good feeling.
Now the business of taking photos is getting worse and worse, the Civil Affairs Bureau has taken the wedding photos, the Traffic Bureau has taken the driver's license photos, and the Public Security Bureau has taken the ID card, so now the business of the township photo studio is also deteriorating.
In the past, photography was very mysterious, I often went to the photo studio, watch people take pictures, very curious, when I was twenty years old in Qingdao to learn photography, indoor photography, outdoor photography, and coloring, watercolor, oil paint, as well as repair the bottom plate, repair the photo, at that time it was black and white photos without color photos.
Now the photo studio has funds to change to a wedding photo studio, take some wedding photos, and take some ID photos of the elderly. The big photo studios have cars pulled out to shoot, sometimes pulled to the Qingdao beach to shoot, and some to the wedding base to shoot.
My parents are still here, there are two grandchildren, the business of the photo studio is not good, after retirement, I want to do my filial piety, do my duty, because I have not spent the Spring Festival with the elderly for forty years, and I always feel indebted to them. After a lifetime of work, you can eat and be in the middle, and you must have a sense of responsibility as a person, whether it is for the elderly or children, you cannot leave regrets for yourself.
