FilmAnalysis · 照片背后的故事

《写真よさようなら》之后

从照片出发,读一段摄影史。故事和照片之间只是阅读上的联想,不代表照片的作者、相机或实际用的胶卷。

1972 · 摄影集背后的故事

1972 年,森山大道在写真评论社出版了《写真よさようなら》,意思是「再见了,摄影」。书里的照片大多粗颗粒、晃动、失焦,很多几乎认不出拍的是什么。

书末收录了他和中平卓马的对谈。出版以后,他经历了将近十年的低潮,直到 1981 年在《写真时代》连载「光与影」系列,才重新找到方向。

不妨试试

故意拍一组粗颗粒、晃动、失焦的照片,再挑出你认为仍然看得懂的那几张。

「不妨试试」是编辑设计的练习,不是史实。

After Farewell Photography

Read a little photographic history. These connections suggest ways to look; they say nothing about authorship, cameras or the physical film stock.

1972 · Behind the photobook

In 1972 Daido Moriyama published Shashin yo sayonara, Farewell Photography, with Shashin Hyoronsha. Most of its pictures are grainy, blurred and out of focus, and many barely show their subject.

The book ends with a conversation with Takuma Nakahira. Nearly ten hard years followed, until his series Light and Shadow ran in the magazine Shashin Jidai in 1981.

Try this

Make a set of grainy, blurred, out-of-focus pictures on purpose, then pick the ones that still read.

"Try this" is an exercise written by the editors, not history.
