WPJA国际纪实婚礼摄影师协会2014年Q2(2014年第二季度)比赛结果揭晓。本次比赛共分为8个单项评选,每项评选出20张获奖照片。
WPJA全称Wedding Photojournalist Association,是全球最著名同时也是最权威的婚礼纪实摄影组织,成员为世界各地的图片记者和婚礼摄影师。WPJA以严格的纪实标准闻名,要求参赛的作品都是来自真实的婚礼纪实,而不能拥有太多摄影师引导的摆拍以及后期的过度处理,要求还原摄影最基本也是最重要的意义——真实地记录。同时这种纪实的标准不仅是用于参赛的摄影师,还包括来自世界各地的评委们,他们都是国际获奖的纪实摄影师(包括普利策奖)以及新闻图片的编辑,绝对保证了WPJA的风格及评判准则。
以下是各单项组第一名图片展示和评委的评语:
Getting Ready组第一名:来自中国山西的Bai Gang
评委评语:
"Great composition and great use of color. A red sleeve appears out of a mostly white frame. Very eye pleasing.
This is an interesting moment seen in a humorous way made possible, in part, through some creative framing which compositionally adds further oddity to the scene."
(构图和色彩的运用都非常好。在整体白色色调的画面内出现了一只红色的袖子,很显眼。
作者用一种幽默的方式,记录了图片当中这个有趣的时刻,通过富有创意的构图让图片变得更奇特。)
Ceremony组第一名:来自西班牙马德里的Antonio Trigo
评委评语:
“Sometimes all a photograph needs can be found in an old news photography adage, ‘f/8 and be there.’ Simply said, the scene itself is the scene stealer. But we all know, in reality, it usually requires a great deal more to make a strong image. In this image, strong composition and a skillful balance of light gives this photo its beautiful ‘voice.’”
(有时候,一张照片需要的所有元素都可以在一句新闻摄影的老话里找到:“用f/8的光圈,以及守在现场”,简单来说就是现场抢拍场景。但我们都知道,在现实里,(我们)往往要通过大量的拍摄才能得出少数的几张构图完美、光线巧妙平衡、充满美妙的“格调”的照片。)
Reception组第一名:来自美国纽约的Emin Kuliyev
评委评语:
“Wow. This frame absolutely stood out. I'm sure this image got a lot of fanfare with the bride and groom as well as guests.
Great drama in this image as the eyes of the groom are very focused while caught in mid air. Love the bride's expression in the background that gives the image another layer.”
(哇哦,这构图绝对是太超(niu)群(bi)了。我肯定新郎新娘以及宾客们一定会拿这张图到处炫耀的。
新郎跳到半空中那一瞬间的眼神赋予了图片很强的戏剧性效果,而背景里新娘表现出来的满满的爱意则让图片富有层次。)
Shoe Details组第一名:来自香港新九龙的Siu Ming Fung
“Very striking image.
Lovely texture and color in the framing of these shoes give them their elegant shine. Composition and focus works well to center your eyes on the shoes.
It's always enjoyable to see a photo so stylistic and tightly formed in its creation that it practically becomes "the moment" itself.”
(非常引人注目的图片。
可爱的质地和颜色让这双鞋在照片里闪耀着优雅的光辉。焦点和构图做的不错,让你的视线能集中到照片中间的鞋子上。
能够看到一幅作者的创意与实际的题材如此完美结合的照片,真是令人愉(suan)快(shuang)。这张照片几乎可以单独成为一个精彩的、独立于那场婚礼的主题了。)
Kids(being kids)组第一名:来自荷兰南荷兰省的Gerhard Nel
评委评语:
“This image really defines what the category is all about.
As the priest blesses the wedding couple a child is caught almost as if he were going to do a headstand. The photographer could have cropped the image a little tighter but it's a great moment of a kid being a kid!”
(这张照片真的是明确了这一类的摄影作品都应该有些什么。
当牧师为新人祝福的时候,镜头捕捉到了一个孩子准备在现场玩倒立。摄影师本可以把图片裁剪得更紧凑一些,但是,这是表现孩子之所以为孩童的时刻!)
Transportation组第一名:来自意大利阿雷佐的Fabio Mirulla
评委评语:
“Beautiful panned shot with great expression on the bride as the groom gives her a bicycle ride on a country road. Photograph has a great sense of movement and joy.
I enjoyed the use of motion which helps isolate this couple who seem to drift across a simple and serene scene with the mirthful feeling, as though it has spilled before us, dropped from a starry-eyed fairy tale.”
(新郎用自行车载着新娘,骑行在乡间小路上,这一美丽的瞬间被动态摄影完美表现了出来。
我喜欢这种动态的场景摄影,它仿佛帮这对夫妇隔离出了一个简单而宁静的场景,让人感觉像一个异想天开的童话场景蔓延到我们面前那样愉悦。)
Cake Cutting组第一名:来自意大利罗马的Alessandro Iasevoli
评委评语:
“Very nice capture here by the photographer. I'm sure the couple loved it and it would look great on thank you cards.
Nice layers in this image from the champagne glass to the cake to the couple and then to the fireworks. Beautiful expression and framing combined with sophisticated lighting of the fireworks above the wedding couple.
It's all here; a well crafted image best honored by saying, ‘kudos.’”
(摄影师抓拍的这一镜头非常好,我相信这对夫妇会喜欢它,而且这张照片印到感谢卡上应该也很不错。
从香槟酒杯到蛋糕,到新人,再到新人背后的烟花,图片的层次感很强。精致的用光与新人头上的烟花相结合,产生了美妙的构图和丰富的含义。
这是一张完美、值得用“好评”来形容的照片,就这样。)
Creative Portrait组第一名:来自德国下萨克森州的Oleg Rostovtsev
评委评语:
“This is an elegant image filled with rich content imbued with a feeling of integrity. When composition combines with content and light, the result is almost irresistible passion.”
(这是一张优雅的照片,内容充实完整,感情表达丰富。当照片的内涵表达与用光等表现手法结合运用于创作时,结果就会充满激情,几乎不可抗拒。)
