When I was young, I painted peonies and grew up photographing peonies
Han Jian's hometown is in Heze Huangyao Town, which is the largest township in the country with the largest peony planting area. "I can say that I grew up under the peony flowers, and I grew up growing peonies at home." Han Jian said, "When I was a child, I liked peony flowers, but at that time, I didn't have the conditions to take pictures of peonies. Then I started learning to sketch and paint my own peonies. ”

"I joined the army in 1985, engaged in news and propaganda work in the army, and after retiring from the army, I worked as a propaganda officer in the Heze high-speed traffic police detachment, and I have been doing propaganda work for nearly 30 years before and after, and I have been shooting peonies for nearly 30 years. Photographing peonies has been my wish since I was a child, and now that I have the conditions to photograph peonies, I will continue to shoot them. And my work allows me to learn a lot of shooting experience from practice, and the use of shooting skills is more mature, and I can take pictures more beautifully. Han Jian said.
After photographing peonies for more than 30 years, it can be said that Han Jian has witnessed the changes in Heze peonies in the past 30 years. "Around 1990, I started photographing peonies in Caozhou Peony Garden, Hundred Gardens, and Ancient and Modern Gardens. At that time, there were not many varieties of peonies, the flower types were not as rich as they are now, and the Caozhou Peony Garden had not yet built such a beautiful gate, and the facilities inside were very simple. I watched our Heze peony develop step by step, becoming beautiful little by little, and I felt very proud. Han Jian said with a smile.
It is his duty to publicize Heze peony
Han Jian said that he is not a professional photographer, photography is just a hobby. "In we heze, there are many people who shoot peonies, I am just one of them, everyone likes my works, I feel very happy and honorable." He said, "Peony is the business card of my hometown, and it is my ideal to promote peony and let more people know that Heze peony is my ideal." As a Heze person, I have long regarded publicizing Heze peony as my obligation, and I think this is also the obligation of every Heze citizen. ”

Han Jian's peony works have been published many times by the surging network, Sohu network, Qilu One point, peony evening news, and public network. Han Jian said that as long as it is to promote Heze peony, my work has not been charged a fee.
Daytime time for work, after work time for photography
During the Peony International Cultural Tourism Festival, Han Jian took advantage of the fact that he went to the peony garden every day before going to work in the morning and after work in the afternoon. Han Jian told reporters: "When peonies enter the blooming period, it is also my busiest time. Photography should pay attention to light, angle, timing, in order to take a photo with the best light, I often crouch next to the peony flowers for dozens of minutes. My lover often says I'm a waste of time, but I don't think so, and I think it's the most important thing to make good work. When the reporter asked how to solve the peony garden tickets, he said: "Sometimes friends will send me a few, the photography association certificate can enter the park, but many times it will 'fail', I hope that the peony garden can provide some convenience for photographers, after all, we are also for the Heze peony cause to do publicity." ”
Photographic tips from photographers
Han Jian said that he is just an ordinary photography enthusiast and does not have any skills to shoot peonies. "When I photograph peonies, I pay the most attention to the texture of peonies. At this time, the light is very important, especially in the morning, there will be some dew on the peony, which can set off the delicacy of the peony. Han Jian said, "I personally prefer to photograph peonies in the Chinese style, to have that kind of gorgeous and elegant feeling." Han Jian told reporters that he likes to photograph the branches of peonies the most, and the coiled and twisted branches of peonies look rough and old, but after years of accumulation, they can open peonies with national color and heavenly fragrance, which makes him feel very admired.
"In my spare time, I like to look at some of the works of peony photographers and learn the techniques of other people who shoot peonies. I think that if you want to shoot peonies well, the most important thing is to shoot more and see more, and the more you see, the better you will naturally shoot well. Han Jian said.
