1990 was the Gulf War, as the first batch of 90 went to lunch on behalf of the international hot theater interviews. To participate in international competition, Xinhua news photographer Tangshi Zeng, Zhang Xun and Ji-Rain is carrying amplifier , carrying a roller photo facsimile machines, washing, carrying paper and filled with medicine bottles on the front. A few years later, has become a famous photographer Tang Shizeng still recall with emotion the situation at the time, said: When I stepped off the plane, the foreign counterparts like watching a monster from another planet to look at me like Yu, Huang and Hu Haixin to the Balkans, the Kosovo crisis in an interview carried by the equipment is digital camera, Xinhua 200 fax machine (which can transfer data from digital camera images and film images), the sea satellite telephone and mobile phone roaming in Europe.
camera from full manual to automatic, of press images from the photochemical to the whole digital image transmission means from the lease to their foreign counterparts to the satellite phone satellite phone rental to their foreign counterparts, the Chinese news photography (Note 1) After a 90 station to the western counterparts in the same starting line.
Xinhua News Agency, about 200 photographers spread throughout the country, with the only picture fax network, in an interview to enjoy more privileges than other media and opportunities, but also CD A resident in a foreign country to send a photographer of the Chinese news media in China plays a unique role in the field of photography. For many years, China's news photographers had this to say: China is the transformation of news photography photojournalism reform Xinhua ; China News Photography News Photography News Agency progress is progress. recently as a decade from the director of photography duties Xinhua Xu Yu Chu stepped down in about 90 years, said Xinhua news photo coverage: changes: First, the concept of change, from the glossy, empty talk big lie put an end to the false progress to the basic picture. Second, the change team and train employees from the ranks of a good news photograph, is to build the world's news agency generation. Third, changes in the status of the media, news pictures in the transfer of coal play an increasingly important role, status greatly improved. Fourth, changes in the means of transmission. photography summarized the status of the changes in recent years has been enhanced; function has been played; laws have been respected; vision has been expanded; team has been strengthened; theory has to grow in (Note 2).
a) Some progress important indicator of
1) electronic news photography and color of the arrival.
reported to participate in the 1990 Beijing Asian Games Xinhua photographer all remember that they must use two camera to take pictures, one for the domestic media black and white film, a shot of color for foreign media. AP Photo by fax was sent a color photograph every time 24 minutes In 1994 Hiroshima Asian far will the Xinhua News Agency photographer shooting color negative film all the changes, and by Xinhua XH film black and white picture fax sent to the domestic industry, In 1996 the United States at the Atlanta Olympic far, Xinhua News Agency, have all returned home for the color photos, the Chinese color news photography era started.
is the color of the development of print media world, a major trend. Xinhua color pictures of the feed into a color photo coverage of the press has provided a basic protection. According to factory solution, 90 mid-afternoon, color of the local party newspaper layout of the ground, and began regular publication of Color Illustrated. of. The It will take technology to the techniques of photographers new challenges, but also provide a new living space.
90 years to transmit electronic images into signs Xinhua, the Chinese news photography began the process of electronic In 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, due to the time difference, the Xinhua News Agency and the domestic part of the major media only use a digital camera; June 1997 30, photographer Wang Yan Xinhua News Agency reported in the return of Hong Kong, the use of digital cameras, Xinhua 200 fax machines and mobile phones, sent in a moving car in the photos of President Jiang Zemin arrived in Hong Kong. marked the advent of electronic news photography.
the rise of the Internet in China for the Chinese e-news photography provided the necessary foundation .90 the mid, people and users, domestic and foreign users transfer photos via the Internet, the domestic newspaper photos downloaded from the Internet has become a basic news photography work. the emergence of the Internet over the media by large domestic monopoly to monopoly of domestic and international fax network Pictures market conditions, the market for China's image formation and development of the technical preparations. the arrival of news photography electronic means familiar with digital cameras and computers is required for the next century photographers the most basic ability to work.
with color news photography of China, and there is electronic with the image of the print media. appeared in the press more and larger photos, many newspapers have opened the front page of 4 to use a photo off the paper version for the entire first half of photo. newspapers visualization, and electronic color of the trend, a direct result of the expansion of the boundary of photo coverage. Now there were many newspapers and pages of traditional news photography impossible to define the concept of . But the U.S. News Photographer of the Year race has already solved this photo classified doubt, they are not only for the magazine photographer, but also for the press photographers set up a The rise of print media and prosperity not only the technical skills of Chinese photographers put forward new requirements, but also greatly enriched our form of dissemination of photography. can be expected, it will become the next century photography of the fastest growing communication and change the most abundant of the most challenging areas of photographers.
2) hot news in international competition.
hot international coverage, particularly coverage of international hot war, because of their news source of uncertainty, sources of information Closure and risk reporting process, for photographers posed a great challenge. In addition to the above-mentioned the Gulf War, the Kosovo crisis, during the period of photographers in the 90's, also made several trips to Bosnia, Somalia, Iraq , reported that the Chechen crisis, in addition to all other international hot war. but it should be noted that coverage of war to international hot spots also is limited to the Xinhua News Agency photographer photographers and other media have not been able to send their own photographers mountain. This situation is due to a system of restrictions on the news, funding considerations, but the majority of our media do not have a number of photographers outside the ability to work independently is the most important reason. In fact, after years of reform and opening up China already has sent many media interviews with photographers economic strength abroad, and many photographers are also held by the public private passport, complete with the basic conditions for overseas visitors. Hong Kong travel documents, to use Hong Kong media for press cards for photographers sent to Hong Kong will be interviewed; 1998 during the Asian Games in Thailand, the domestic use of the large foreign media to a media photographer for the press cards for all my media successful examples of going abroad.
3) in the important World Press Photo Competition Award.
from the World Press Photo of the system and the international criteria to look at 90 years the progress of the Chinese news photography, the most concrete manifestation of Photographers in many of China most in need of competitiveness in the World Press Photo competition to achieve good results. such as in Shandong Li Nan by the World Press Photo Foundation (WPP) World Press Photo Contest held first place in Art (1996), Yunnan Wu Jialin (1996), Beijing Han Lei (1997), four Chuanli Lang (1998) by the American (POY, Picture of the Year) Honor Award. In addition, Xinhua Huang (1995), Li Guo (1996) exclusive news section by the French Press Photo Competition (Festival International du Scoop et du Journalisme Angers) awards. especially is worth noting that Li is a group of fruit taken outside China the status of the performance of apartheid in South Africa was the prize picture, this shows that the subject matter of the photographer is not due to win, but has the ability to grasp the major international themes and shook performance practices of contemporary photography.
4) news photos of the new development criteria.
80 years to the older generation represented by Jiang Qisheng veteran news photographer theorists establish and improve the criteria of news photos: new, real, live, love, meaning exchange foreign counterparts, some of my news photographers who had made repeated the 80's, but who did not get enough attention to the industry's Photography communication Photos of the information, photographs, visual symbols in real grasp of the news and revealed news photos presented quantitatively (Note 7)
news photos small with the scene a sense of visual reality constitutes an important factor. the pursuit of space a sense of contemporary news photography in the pursuit of information. And by the dynamic and the common sense of space created by the visual tension, will be further strong message to readers photos expressed the value of content and evaluation of events in order to achieve the best possible dissemination of results (Note 8). the world are all the photographers for pictures of the > the growth of young photographers in the 90's in their photographic background have not been practicing for decades dominated the field of photography the impact of pictorial photography, the visual composition in his photographs a little something in the box, more than a natural. and In a bold composition, flash application performance practices, be innovative (see the issue News Agency described the work of young photographers Department of the South). but we should also see that the younger generation of exploration and the pursuit of photographers are often subject to criticisms , can not get the industry recognition. circle appears on the news photography photographs that I feel like a foreign journalist, it only shows the world of news photography are working together to form the progress of the times and created some new ideas picture story in the early rise of
90, our group photos or images using the media story is also limited to a small magazine pictorial category. newspaper group also is limited according to the provision of a bar, a 3,4-board photos. the feature pages of newspapers located in the appreciation of photography's Illustrated magazine is not on the general group photo of the location, let alone picture story In 1995, Illustrated to the the reports and pictures to a group of photography as the main story of the year 1999 special edition of magazine readers, such as and group reports in the form of photographic print media in the ascendant. and photo coverage has become a bad run very well the feature pages of the late 90 s to measure a newspaper photographer reported a large an important indicator of whether or not mature.
version of Illustrated from time to time to appreciate the form of photographs, of course published by the readers. into the 90's, people appreciate the opportunity to greatly increase photographic works, the feature pages of the newspaper located in the appreciation of photography in the form of pictorial photography is not only contrary to news law, but also violated the laws of the news. version of the rise, I am back to a group of photographers do not know how quickly turned into a group from the master reported to take pictures of the story means. months. in the reports of Hu Mountain and the Forbidden City, a layout of 9 photos are mostly medium shot, all taken from the front Park, similar visual composition, a photo more than the simple sum of single adult group photo. in the Chang Tsai's report, Liu Zhankun not only maintained its strong competitive advantage in the single photo of the visual technique of expression, good use of them to a special group photo of the shooting, while paying attention to the picture of camera angles, shooting point of diversification, both the Park scene, also shot close-up, also took the details to make a version of 8 rich and varied visual images of the photos. The same progress has occurred in the freelance photographer Lu Guang who, from his The rise of the Chinese practice of news photography started from the ; you (China) a lot of work looks good, but did not get a good editor. People Photography News , the image editing is not optional, nor is the kind of demolition demolition envelope, the role of copy writing copy, and should be a photography expert with the overall vision, a photo coverage of the organizers, planners and instructors, m a photographer and layout editor to contact the bridge Bu solved from the photo editing training problems. modern visual communication theory, such as the concept of the theme picture, the concept of visual center, the only concept of the visual center, frame the concept of the theory of the end of photo editing in layout with large numbers, many photo editors have been These ideas can be skillfully integrated into the layout applied to the design to the press. ;. (Note 3)
c) of the healthy development of documentary photography in China
documentary photography in the early 80s is mentioned in China, 80 were systematically introduced into China, and after about 10 years ; incubation period the curtain. Meeting Minutes from the published view of photography at the confusion of the characteristics effective not only in financial assistance to thousands of poor children in China on a study, also politically for our country, ; practice to exclude the time, m some earlier realize Mr Chan's historical and sociological significance of these track. whether from the published earlier in the 90's album Ming, published in the mid-90s, so that this collection of published , or are going through the process.
90 end of the decade, China's . with the traditional purchase photos of the performance of personal style, those who seek light and shade, composition, instant photos, it is the least sense of the times; and pictures of the most appearances with the picture is rather for us to write the history of most need. , to the practice of documentary photography were left confused. it seems who is in need of further examination time, while the photographers their preferences will be one of the most important determinant.
is worth mentioning Xinhua News Agency, the primary task of propaganda in the 90s also active, spontaneous participation in the National Congress, Xinhua News Agency have published a large photo album for this handover of Hong Kong .1997 before they go to a special photographer to send pictures of Hong Kong history, before the Chinese government published the recovery of Hong Kong After the recovery of Hong Kong published a New Year's Day of 1992 and the CD-ROM, the Xinhua News Agency Photo Department also used its advantages of photographers all over the north and south, organized the National Day military parade held in Beijing, a large parade and carnival activities, use of the Photo Department of Xinhua allow 42 journalists in Tiananmen Square more than 1,000 film shooting area. Xinhua News Agency to make documentary photography event photographer, Xinhua news photos not only for promotional services, but also for the history service. Although the results of the activities of documentary photography Xinhua News Agency (published in CD-ROM album) or Many are not necessarily issued a draft of pictures to acts of state of China's history, and left behind a number of valuable image data.
in the 90's photographers will also photograph captured overseas, such as when the return of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, several photographers to shoot documentary photo album As the organizer, invited the Ya more than 50 famous foreign photographers to take pictures .90 Shanghai's TV shop and go give the task of things, photography, historical pictures. theorists of news photography in 1992 proposed the characteristics of the news photographer's own the early use of questionnaires and statistics and other modern means of research to do The News photos judged to quantify the requirements and specific ideas 3); of questioned the development of news photography. (Note 15)
foreign academic exchanges of news photography in 1988, Beijing and the Netherlands, World Press Photo Foundation to invite foreign experts to Beijing News Photography News photography with my peers face to face communication; June 1996 Xinhua News Agency and the U.S. Freedom Forum jointly organized by Plant Photo exchange activities, the Associated Press photo coverage of the vice president in charge of Vincent. Alabise, the United States, and Shanghai, China News photographers were peer exchange; 1997 Renmin University of China School of Journalism and ;; Guangdong News photography is also the first levy in 1995 was held in Shenzhen in Guangzhou and photography educators and celebrities. from Guangdong Province in the news media ahead of other domestic photographic practice, you can clearly feel the city the news of the photographic effect produced by the exchange.
90 years had the honor of a group of young photographers to study and work abroad, a number of news photography in the system of education received abroad who return to practitioners, they lived in the United States by Li, Wang, living in Japan, Gu Zheng, Alex lived in Australia a number of articles written by the tree, employees of news photography to a more systematic understanding of the status of foreign news photography, and the universal law that applied to our news photography practice. With the popularity of the Internet development in China, every news photography theorists have equal access to foreign news Photographic information. can be expected early next century of news photography in the theory of a group of new people will be new work soon, and then an equal exchange with foreign counterparts.
photographers to improve the overall level of China, China News asked to participate in the Photographic Society than the convergence of news photography in Europe, probably due to ten years for POY) br> Photo activities in the dissemination of small, law-related issue involves the right of reputation, privacy, copyright (copyright), image rights, censorship and press freedom of the press photographers coal referrals ethical and moral self-discipline and thinking, yellow obscenity aspects. With the perfect law, the people of legal awareness, more and more people and media use legal weapons to safeguard their dignity and rights, the spread of the photography world has experienced in 90 years almost all of the above legal disputes.
90 early, the lack of news photographers to prepare the necessary legal knowledge, the reputation, privacy, copyright, image rights, censorship, and so the legal dispute before the loss. of media self-regulation, photographer ethical and moral self-restraint and the definition of obscene photographs yellow is helpless. photographers and the media in reporting on those who infringe upon the interests of the subject without realizing it, in their own interests are infringed Shiyou not know how to protect themselves. the media and photographers for photo coverage frequently become the plaintiff and the defendant in court. such critical reporting leads to violations of the right of reputation to be reported by the legal dispute, after years of practice was clearly You-Ming, as long as the reports are true that do not infringe the right of reputation. ( Note 17)
decades, China's system of government to the media and born with the power to cover the civilian population, and government law enforcement agencies seem to naturally have the power to restrict the media. but 90 years beginning in many cases this power questioned (18) .1997 August, Diana perished in a car accident triggered a worldwide ethics news photography related to the controversy over the years only emphasized the rights of an interview with Chinese news photographer photography beginning to recognize the subject's rights. (Note 19)
photos copyright protection is the spread of photography of the most perfect part of the law In 1991 the formal implementation of the Copyright Law, so that our legal basis for the Copyright of photography .1992 in China has joined the thousands of compensation; the other hand, the size of the media continue tomorrow Zhang bile theft photos, nearly two years, is a flagrant use of the Internet age the photo,
