Entertaining Children

  Chapter 84 Technology Improvement

  Because of his age, when Xiao Yao went out on the street with his camera on his back on weekends, he had an advantage that an adult did not have.

  At least when he takes pictures of beauties on the street, he will not be regarded as a wretched pervert, and when he enters a commercial building or shop to take pictures of some interesting small objects, he will not be regarded as a commercial spy who spy on business intelligence. On the contrary, because he was young and good-looking, and the equipment on his back looked like that, when strangers faced him with a photo request, there were not many rejections.

  In the choice of street shooting locations, Xiao Yao also tried his best to choose places with a lot of people, relatively safe and not too fast. For example, pedestrian streets or some of the more famous large-scale commercial buildings and nearby squares. These places are not only safer, but also more diverse types of subjects can be found.

  Able to take pictures smoothly, find things to take, and it’s not difficult to complete fifty high-quality pictures every week.

   Although Chen Xuan is often away from Xiao Yao, he mainly guides Xiao Yao through the Internet, but he is quite concerned about Xiao Yao's learning situation and the progress of his photography skills.

   Therefore, after two or three months, the satisfaction of Xiao Yao's learning ability and the speed of improvement in photography has also made Chen Xuan pay more attention and stricter to Xiao Yao. Correspondingly, he asked Xiao Yao to take more photos in terms of quality and quantity.

  Master enlightened students, Xiao Yao’s progress was naturally much faster than the average person.

  Almost half a year later, Chen Xuan told Xiao Yao about some of the better websites and forums for photography enthusiasts, and asked him to post his photos on the Internet as a beginner to communicate with others. Listen to the comments of ordinary netizens and other photographers on their works, and then come to confirm with the photography knowledge taught by Chen Xuan.

  So, a new face named "Photography Boy" appeared on many amateur photography websites and forums. This guy can send out dozens of photos on different themes every week. Netizens and photographers who have been paying attention to this guy for a long time will find that this guy's skills are growing almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  In addition to posting photos, reading reviews and communicating on the Internet, Chen Xuan also recommended some photography activities for amateur photographers to Xiao Yao for him to participate in. Many of these activities were inquired about by Chen Xuan from the Internet. Most of them will have some interesting themes, and there are many photography enthusiasts involved. Xiao Yao is mixed in it, but it is not very conspicuous.

  So in addition to the Internet, in reality Xiao Yao also began to take pictures as an amateur photographer and communicate with other people. After returning, he used the gains from communicating with other people to discuss with Chen Xuan, to see which techniques or methods and experience are helpful to Xiao Yao, and which ones Xiao Yao needs to pay attention to avoid.

  In the activities of photography enthusiasts large and small in Yanjing City, the figure of a child carrying a quite professional camera began to appear. At the beginning, when others saw Xiao Yao, they thought it was a photography enthusiast who brought his son to participate in the event. Xiao Yao was indeed not very noticeable. But as time goes by and the number of appearances increases, people who see him often will naturally pay more attention to him.

   Although young, the equipment is good, and the technology is also worthy of the valuable equipment. This is everyone's most intuitive feeling for Xiao Yao who participated in the amateur photography enthusiast activity. The most important thing is that once you notice him, everyone can easily find that this little guy seems to come by himself every time, and after the event, he also leaves by himself.

  In the circle of Yanjing amateur photography enthusiasts, this little guy has gradually become a topic for everyone. The photography circle is not too big. If anyone has trained such a student, it should have been triumphantly promoted everywhere. It's not that everyone has never asked this little guy, but this little guy talks very little, not about photography, and he basically doesn't talk much.

  So everyone knows nothing about this little guy’s name, Xiao Zhixing, how old he is, who his master is, his background, and his identity.

  Xiao Zhixing is not a name that Xiao Yao casually used. But... Xiao Yao's evil taste was offended again, and he changed his name. To be precise, I didn't change my name, but gave myself another name. According to the specifications on Huaxia's account book, there is a column of former name or alias. Xiao Yao had a whim one day and wanted to fill in this blank. Naturally, his real name was Xiao Yao. In the alias column, he asked Xiao Siqi to add a name to his account book.

  The name Xiao Zhixing is because the most admired figure of Xiao Yao, who recently became obsessed with Ming history, is Wang Yangming, the number one man of the Ming Dynasty. The core content of the Xinxue theory proposed by Wang Yangming is the four characters "knowledge and action", so he named himself "knowledge and action". Regarding the matter of adding names, Xiao Siqi, who knew that Xiao Yao had recently become obsessed with Ming History, was not disgusted. Instead, he quipped Xiao Yao and said, "Do you want to learn from the ancients and have a surname named Xiao Yao to know how to do?"

  Photography technology continues to improve, and the number of corresponding equipment is also increasing. One year later, Xiao Yao had three cameras and seven or eight lenses. Chen Xuan also began to teach Xiao Yao to start studio shooting and posing.

  For convenience, there are vacant rooms at home, so Xiao Yao simply set up a small studio at home. Of course, he couldn't figure it out just by himself. After Chen Xuan heard about Xiao Yao's wishes, he came to China to help him tinker with it. Although the place is a bit smaller, it is not as good as a professional studio, but all kinds of lighting equipment, brackets, reflectors, background panels, etc. are all available, which can be regarded as "the sparrow is small but has all the internal organs."

  After the small studio at home was set up, this place was there, and Xiao Yao’s model was not difficult to find. There were two ready-made models at home.

  Ye Jiaying is not a professional model, but she has nothing to say about her figure and appearance, and as a mother, she is extremely patient and cooperative. And as long as it doesn’t look too sorry for the audience, who doesn’t like taking pictures?

  Of course, there are also problems. Since Xiao Yao started using Ye Jiaying as a model for studio photography at home, Ye Jiaying's desire to shop has more than tripled, and Xiao Siqi is frightened to see. Correspondingly, Ye Jiaying’s fans also discovered that Ye Jiaying had suddenly become a "photograph + sun-photographing madman" without knowing it. Beautiful photos are sent out almost every day on various social network accounts. And it's not just a simple selfie, but a professional photo that can be comparable to a model's hard photo.

  The photographer takes pictures of the model, but it is not just a matter of pressing the shutter. Early communication with the model or the subject is also very important. It is necessary to fully discover their personality and physical characteristics, and then show them through photos.

   Xiao Yao lives with Ye Jiaying. As far as the understanding of Ye Jiaying is concerned, I am afraid that no matter how professional photographers are, he is not as good as him. While Xiao Yao kept taking pictures, he also kept digging out the unrecognized characteristics of Ye Jiaying, and then showing them through the photos he took.

  Through these photos, everyone also discovered that Ye Jiaying is far more than just the image that was shown to everyone before. Whether it is noble, elegant, cold, stubborn, **** or fresh, Ye Jiaying's performance in the photos gives people a bright feeling. Because of this, Ye Jiaying has more types of film appointments, and more photography invitations from various fashion magazines. Even the value of endorsement contracts has risen. It can be regarded as the clothes and accessories that she wants to buy because of the skyrocketing shopping. Become value for money.

The example of   wife is in front of us. Xiao Siqi is also much more interested in being a model for Xiao Yao. Even voluntarily proposed that in the future, the cover photos of the new album and the photos of various promotional posters will all be handed over to Xiao Yao. Of course, unlike the photos Ye Jiaying used to post on the Internet for free, these commercial photos of Xiao Siqi required money.

  However, Xiao Siqi’s album photos are not the first income that Xiao Yao made through taking photos. After a year of study and training, some of the photos Xiao Yao sent to Chen Xuan already had a certain level of professionalism. And Chen Xuan also picked some of the photos he fancyed, and recommended them to some magazines and periodicals that he was familiar with or had a cooperative relationship with.

  Since these are mostly European and American magazines and periodicals, Xiao Yao has given himself an English name "YoungShaw" very internationally. The signature of the photo is simply the initials "YS".

   At the age of nine years old, the photographic works of the talented young photographers can be listed in professional photography magazines, even in Europe and the United States, it is rare to see. But neither Xiao Yao nor Chen Xuan specifically mentioned YS's age when they posted photos to those magazines. The reason is also very simple. Both Xiao Yao and Chen Xuan hope that Xiao Yao's photographic works can be selected, just because the work itself is good enough, not because of the influence of Xiao Yao's age. For a whole year, the European and American fashion circles and photography circles did not know the exact age of the new photographer YS who suddenly appeared. What they knew about YS, except for the full name "YoungShaw", only knew this. The guy is a student of Chen Xuan.

  But a year later, Chen Xuan had to announce the age of YS. Because Chen Xuan won a very rare job opportunity for Xiao Yao, and if he wanted to get this job, he had to tell others the true age of YS.

   "What did you say? Eva show?" Xiao Yao said to the phone in surprise.

   "Yes." Chen Xuan on the other end of the phone said triumphantly, "How is it? Although Master, my birthday present is a bit late, it is definitely enough, right?"

   of course enough weight! The Eva show in this world is the Victoria's Secret Fashion Underwear Show in Xiao Yao's previous life. Not only the top show in the fashion industry, but also... the lingerie show!
