After analyzing the masterpieces of many masters, we understand many photography techniques and concepts. At this time, taking pictures may become a burden. This is because we are far away from ourselves and lost "Initial initiative". This is also the difference between a propositional composition and a free diary. While admiring masterpieces, it is not difficult to find such photos on the Internet. They are not professional and artistic, but they have completed communication with themselves and gave themselves feedback. At this time, photography is just a person's business.

It is well known that Ashin has nothing to do with the photography circle. However, I stumbled upon a blog site in Taiwan where I could see early photos taken by him. This blog seems to be a private space for him to hide from the public at the time, and it is also his real side. Under this premise, these photos have also become a kind of private images -communication with himself.

(due to age and compression, the photo is blurry)

We no longer analyze the photo from the conventional composition, light and other angles, and even don't even look at the meaning. These photos are from when I went to the aquarium by accident during busy work, with the caption "If the time to watch the sea can be used by me to do the work I can't finish, it would be great. However, when I really see the sea How will it feel?" In the process of thinking, this moment was set, forming a moment of personal memory with the picture.

If these images have a soothing or stimulating effect, they will only be effective for the photographer himself.

These photos are from a summer when Ashin stayed at his home in Taipei, and it looks like a summer vacation.

"The monster's house will be renovated in a few days, and I will go to the monster's house for hot pot. Ah, I can't bear it...especially the training room that is a little bigger than a pudding." If you continue to shoot under the premise of the matter, you will find that this thing is different from before, perhaps because it will no longer exist. Being able to perceive one's emotions, and even be able to integrate into the current weather and atmosphere, is a way of shooting.

can perceive one's own emotions and even blend into the current weather and atmosphere, which is a way of shooting.

In Shunji Iwai’s "April Story", the heroine goes to college in Tokyo for a boy who has a crush. She lies by the French window thinking about the person she likes. The French window with soft sunlight has become a symbol: this secret love It's sweet.

, Ashin who photographed this window was also in love, "On the first day of working together, neither of the alarm clocks went off. I yelled in my heart on the way to hurriedly. It was embarrassing. The first day you asked me to go out to play, It took me dozens of days to prepare for this short day."

In short, express emotions with things.

These photos record the scene of Ashin and his friends walking across the street to play pool and games after they performed in Shenzhen. The accompanying text "Desperate in the night sky of Shenzhen, missing the hills of childhood." Perhaps it expresses a tired psychology, and the mood of the picture is low.

If the photos we take can remind us of those moments in time, or even the images in the immersive memory, then these photos are extremely perfect for us. In other words, the image is one with us and has nothing to do with other people.

Here, I am not taking Ashin as an example. Maybe he did not shoot well enough, but he knows this way of expression, the use of cameras and emotions, just like writing a diary, but also a kind of creation. Of course, you can leave a comment about Ashin's work.

Perhaps, the camera is just a tool to help us ease, release or create emotions. If we are not to be a commercial photographer, we should learn firstThe photography tutorial is how to think and reach your own heart, learn to take pictures for yourself, and record for yourself.

Many times, photography is a person's business.
