I see the Tulou Photography

Hu Jiaxin

Tens of thousands of Hakka Tulou with different shapes and different shapes are densely distributed between mountains and forests and gully in the western Fujian area.

How to choose a unique perspective, show the history of the earth and the dust, the mystery of the heavens and the earth, and the memory of penetrating time and space, use the contrast of color, the change of light and shadow, the staggered lines, the shadow of the shadow, etc., testing the photographer. The ability to control the material.

In my opinion, for the photography of Tulou themes, we should devote more humanistic care for the survival of the Hakkas, so that readers can understand the deep connotation of Tulou from multiple angles and the spirit of the Hakka group.

1. Show of the wonderful shape of the Tulou

From the perspective of the appearance, it has a unique rough and simple beauty; from the perspective of details, some earth buildings are delicate and luxurious, while some earth buildings maintain their original flavor.

Therefore, when shooting the outer scenery of the Tulou, you must make full use of the rough and magnificent beauty of the Tulou, and the harmonious beauty between the Tulou and nature; when shooting the interior scene of the Tulou, pay attention to the details of the Tulou, and present the details of the earth building and the nature of nature. The lines of the Tulou are beautiful, exquisite, and symmetrical. For example, when I was filming the work of "Tonghui Tonghui", I fully noticed the exquisite decoration, deep heritage, and perfect symmetry of Zhenchenglou. Combined, this work that made people want to see.

Second, the excavation of the deep humanities of the Tulou

There are many cultural symbols hidden in the Hakka Tulou, a ancestral hall, a couplet, a plaque, and a broken wall. It can tell the spirit of the past, respectful ethics that this Tulou experienced.

Therefore, when shooting the Tulou, you should notice the various cultural symbols hidden in the Tulou. For some famous buildings, find relevant information in advance and do your homework, of course, because your meticulous may have new discoveries. For example, when I was filming the Fayu Tower, I observed carefully and found that the words written above the two bathroom door were "bath body" and "bath". For the soil buildings that are not concerned about some people, you can take more photos from different angles, and then study carefully after returning. For some difficult patterns, carvings, objects, text, etc., you can ask relevant experts.

Third, the setting of colorful folk customs of Tulou

The people of Tulou created a colorful Tulou culture and a variety of folk customs, leaving people unforgettable memories. How to use the lens to restore the real process of folk activities, how to use the lens to capture the wonderful moments of folk activities, and use photos to depict the sudden and fleeting cultural facial shadows with photos, so as to stop time to retain the "decisive moment". This is folklore. The vitality of photography.

First, a full understanding of folk activities preparing to shoot. Not only to understand its origin, connotation, and status quo, but also the entire process of activities, the climax of the event. The folk photos taken on the basis of understanding are possible. The story is complete, the theme is outstanding, and the picture is vivid.

Secondly, you can step on the spot and do field investigation in advance. Most of the folk activities have leaders. The locals call it "Prime Minister" and "Futou". Fully communicating with the leaders can not only understand the connotation and process of the activity, but also get their help, avoid crowded places, find a place of crowded, find a crowded place, find a crowded place, find a crowded place, find a crowded place, find a crowded place, find a crowded place, find a crowded place, find a crowded place, find a crowded place, find a crowded place, find a crowded place, find a crowded place, find a crowded place. The unique angle captures some unexpected moments. When I was shooting "Lake Hangs as a Blessing", "Chen Dong April Eighth", "April Eighth", and other folk activities, I did stepping on and investigating in advance. moment.

Furthermore, the photos of the big scenes of folk activities must have the elements of the earth building. When composition, the earth building should be used as the background as much as possible, so that the reader is clear -this is the activity of the Tulou people.

Finally, write and organize photos in time after shooting. Through the writing of text and the consolidation of photos, you can also deepen the understanding of this activity. If you find some regrets and deficiencies, you will look forward to taking it again in the coming year. This may be the charm of the photography creation of folk activities.

Fourth, Tulou Qili scenery capture

The Tulou is beautiful. It is a delicate gongbi landscape painting, a layered oil painting, or an elegant ink painting ...

How to use photography to express the picturesque earth building?

First, to set up the mood generated by seasonal changes. In March of Yangchun, peach blossoms, pear blossoms, rapeseed flowers on the edge of the Tulou, the field, and the hillside; the intersection of spring and summer, the terraces around the earth building are filled with water, like a crack mirror under the backlight; The rice is golden, and the persimmons are golden. Even the wall of the earth building is even more golden under the sun. In the middle of the winter, the white creams on the roof tiles and the fields of the tiles are embarrassed, like a paradise. How wonderful it will be in the painting with these paintings.

Secondly, the mood generated by the changes in sky phenomena is used to set up the soil building. In the turn of spring and summer, the rain is sunny, and often smokes, like a fairyland, and even the rainbow is empty, reflecting Yao Tulou, which is wonderful; the small rain, yellow wall and tiles, and the farmers in the clothes are walking on the oily pebble village road. Interesting; the soil building under the lightning of the electric flash, the round village under the vast stars, the broken wall under the bright moon, as if the time and space cross. Then, pay attention to the organic combination of Tulou and nature. When composition, the earth building can be used as a companion to present the idyllic scenery. The earth building can play the finishing touch and geographical identification in the picture; it can also use the earth building as the main body, the beauty of nature or the character activity as the companion, thereby beautifying, active active Picture.

The scenery of the Tulou is itself a humanistic scenery. The wonderful nature and the strong humanistic atmosphere of the Tulou may be the vitality of the Tulou scenery photography.
