荒木經惟的天才寫真術

Rate this book
玩世不恭的天才荒木 終於開始認真分享他的攝影術!

「本書對於初學攝影或已從事攝影工作十餘年的讀者,都有助益。可別因為一口氣讀完了,就把這本書送給朋友呀。」作者語。

懷著滿腔熱情(加上酒精的作用及和服美女的陪伴),荒木經惟開始暢談攝影。從相機與鏡頭的選擇,如何構圖、調焦距,快門(聲)與閃光燈的攝影意涵等技術知識,到如何拍攝身邊摯愛的人事物、照片日期的藝術、攝影家的特質、攝者與被攝者的關係……等攝影哲學。

荒木經惟窮其一生之力不斷記錄「活著,生,與死,以及幸福與不幸」,在他眼中,究竟何謂攝影?他的攝影類型及風格背後的思想情感為何?

如果你也同意荒木經惟的荒誕不羈只是表相,本書中你將「聽到」荒木經惟一針見血的攝影真心話,看到「裏荒木」的真實輪廓。

謎樣的天才荒木難以看清。

要一步步挖掘他的虛實攝影人生,就從他的天才寫真術開始--

攝影
對於生與死的愛,那就是攝影。照片,也許就是因為想要忘記才拍的,拍攝的瞬間,記憶會消失。我將記憶交由相機來存取,當它變成了照片,就會孕育出新的記憶來。

鏡頭
我不主張換鏡頭,而是要自己後退或前進來接近被攝體。攝影,要運用自己的身體來拍。

快門
一直按下快門的話,那快門聲就會停止喔。我認為,那就是最接近「死亡」的瞬間。在生與死之間來回不停遊走的,就是攝影了吧。

焦距
焦距,要對在當時的感覺或心情,當時的事物上。

構圖
我花了大半時間研究照片的構圖,結果就是,那些並不重要。

照片完成度
完成度太高的照片,會讓人想要馬上銷毀喔。在照片完成的那一刻,就會產生這種心情。甚至還在拍攝時,就想毀掉了吧。

相機
如果要改變人生,就要換男朋友,換女朋友,或是換個地點。如果想改變自己的攝影風格,那就換台相機吧。

About the author

Nobuyoshi Araki

414 books77 followers
Nobuyoshi Araki is a Japanese photographer and contemporary artist. He is also known by the nickname Arākī.

Araki studied photography during his college years and then went to work at the advertising agency Dentsu, where he met his future wife, the essayist Yōko Araki. After they were married, Araki published a book of pictures of his wife taken during their honeymoon titled Sentimental Journey. She later died in 1990. Pictures taken during her last days were published in a book titled Winter Journey.

Having published over 350 books (and still more every year) Araki is considered one of the most prolific artists alive or dead in Japan and around the world. Many of his photographs are erotic; some have been called pornographic. Some of his most popular photography books are Sentimental Journey, Tokyo Lucky Hole, and Shino. He also contributed photography to the Sunrise anime series Brain Powerd.

The Icelandic musician Björk is an admirer of Araki's work, and served as one of his models. At her request he photographed the cover and inner sleeve pages of her 1997 remix album, Telegram.

Araki's life and work were the subject of Travis Klose's 2005 documentary film Arakimentari.
