有关 “Eleven Continents”
来自RF和Lili De La Mora的同名专辑,中文名译为“十一幻境”。把摄影展取名为这个名字,原因很简单,她是十一月出生的孩子,喜欢远远的旅行,喜欢小小的冒险。
在展出的41张照片中,有40张是HDR照片,所谓HDR就是High Dynamic Range的缩写,中文译名为高动态光照渲染。还记得那是她flickr上的一个朋友教她的——一个头戴雷锋帽,喜欢读《孙子兵法》的英国孩子。在纽卡斯尔的最后一个夏天,他们爬进了郊外的一个废弃医院拍照,那个精怪的孩子告诉她: 拍照就像是凝固世界的过程,按快门前是人间,按下快门后便是幻境……
一个月后,她离开纽卡斯尔去了伦敦。开始寻找无处不在的幻境……
在伦敦最美的季节过去之后,在她24岁生日的第二天,冒险开始了……
在除了天空就是海的加勒比,在除了游客就是海员的邮轮上,她开始了她的第一份工作,同时也开始了一段幻境般的不真实的生活。
2009年的那个春天,在圣胡安起飞的飞机上,她用“Eleven Continents”的音乐把幻境串联了起来。那时那地,心情只能用Bruce Davidson的那段话来形容了:“I’ve been thinking about the seas, the waves, the laughs, the beats, and the quietness. The night, the star, the smile, the sweet bitterness …”
关于Stephanie
出生于80后一个阳光灿烂的十一月,平凡地还算顺利地成长着。本科最后半年交换生去了英国的大学,之后在纽卡斯尔攻读了国际多媒体记者专业。之于摄影,一直都只是爱好而已。意想不到的是,她的第一份工作尽然是摄影师。一路从伦敦飞到了迈阿密,之后又到了圣胡安,在东加勒比海里,以皇家加勒比海洋旋律号游轮为家,工作生活了有半年的时间。之后,带着游客送的泰迪熊Barney,一路从圣胡安,飞到芝加哥,温哥华,上海……当无意间完成了环绕地球一周的飞行后,她轻轻地贴近Barney的耳朵说:“欢迎回家!”
About ‘Eleven Continents’
‘Eleven Continents’ -- the name of the album by RF & Lili De La Mora, the vocalist. I like the way the Chinese put it – Eleven Fantasies. This exhibition took the same name of it – the reason? Simply – she was child born in November – she loves travelling, and…she is an adventurer.
Among the total 41 photographs you will see today, 40 are HDR (High Dynamic Range). She first heard of it from an English boy from Flickr, who always wears a “Ushanka”, a Russian fur cap with ear flaps (or perhaps better known to the Chinese: the “Lei Feng Hat”). One of the last summer days in Newcastle, they creeped into an abandoned hospital in the suburb, to be inspired. The English boy said to her, ‘the moment before you click, it’s the reality, the moment after it, it’s fantasy…’
A month later, she left Newcastle for London, looking for ‘fantasy’…
When the most beautiful season of a year in London is gone, and on the second day after her 24th birthday, the adventure begins…
She started her first job on the Caribbean, where there is no sky, there is sea; where there are no tourists, there are crew members – it was a real life, but in fantasy.
The spring of 2009, on the plane from San Juan, she was listening to “Eleven Continents” and there came the film of snapshots. The girl…well… Bruce Davidson’s words would well describe her of that moment: “I’ve been thinking about the seas, the waves, the laughs, the beats, and the quietness. The night, the star, the smile, the sweet bitterness …”
About Stephanie
Born on a sunny beautiful November morning in the 1980s, and she went off to a university in the UK on a lovely August in 2006, dedicated to International Multimedia Journalism at Newcastle University. She sees photography as a hobby, that’s all. What was surprising is her first job ever was photographer! From London to Miami, and then San Juan…in the East Caribbean Sea, making herself at home at Serenade of the Seas, Royal Caribbean International, she spent six months on the sea. Then, she took her Barney, the Teddy bear given by a customer on the cruise. In fact after travelling around the globe, she came all the way from San Juan, Chicago, Vancouver and when they finally got to Shanghai, she whispered into Barney’s ear: “Welcome home!”
