Many people first came into contact with photography because of travel. After picking up the camera during the trip, they often feel out of control.
Today's exclusive interview guest Zhou Chongguang, in addition to his extreme love for photography, also built his home into an exclusive photography studio , which displays his past photos of natural scenery, humanistic glimpses at home and abroad, as well as photos of the first-class protected animal of in the country. I enjoy tasting and communicating with photographers on weekdays.

3 born in October 1953, a member of Kunming Photographers Association, founded his own photography studio - Zhouyou Vision Studio after retirement. More than ten art albums produced by Aphoto Artron Images: Overseas Grabbings, Bright Rivers and Mountains, Beautiful Home, Black-necked Crane, and Faith.
Q: When did you get involved in photography? Why do you like photography?
A: Because my parents are both engaged in journalism, they have had cameras at home since they were young, and they have learned how to take pictures. But if you really have time to devote yourself to it, it is after retirement. I have participated in several tours after retirement, which is the magnificence of nature, which prompted me to pick up my camera and record the precious moments I have seen.
Q: What is your favorite shooting subject and style? Why choose to shoot such subjects?
A: I don’t have a special hobby for photography. Anyone who is beautiful and can resonate with the heart will pick up the camera. But it focuses on natural scenery, humanities and black-necked cranes. Being in the beautiful environment of nature, you can feel happy and cultivate your temperament. Facing all kinds of humanistic worlds, you can experience the big differences in this world from a single image, and explore the lifestyles, customs and inner world of people in different regions, races, different skin colors, and different classes.
Q: I heard that you have been photographing black-necked cranes for more than ten years, why are you interested in shooting black-necked cranes?
A: likes the black-necked crane because of its elegance and scarcity. Black-necked crane belongs to the world's endangered animals and national protected animals. It is the only crane type that lives on the plateau. It mainly lives on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in my country. They have the habit of migratory birds and reproduce on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Whenever winter comes, they will migrate to Yunnan and Guizhou, which are relatively low in altitudes and are warmer, and will fly back to their hometowns in early spring of the next year. Since ancient times, human beings have had a legend that respects Crane . Its elegant and beautiful appearance, resounding voice, loyal love, and the spirit of unity and mutual assistance are touching.
Shooting the black-necked crane is a happy and hard work. Because the black-necked crane came to Yunnan to spend the winter, it was decided that it could only be taken in winter. The overwintering area of the black-necked crane belongs to the high-altitude areas of Yunnan. It has relatively high altitudes and harsh climates. Although there are sunny times, most of the time it is rain and snow, frost and fog. Most of the black-necked cranes live collectively in winter and have strong regularity. Most of the time, they fly away from the night-sleeping ground to search for food on the mountain until the sun sets, and will return to the night-sleeping ground to rest. Therefore, it also decided that the Crane Pawns must sneak into the black-necked Crane's overnight stay before dawn, no matter what the weather is. Although it is hard, I am still very happy once I take the photos I like. After a long time, even if you can’t take good photos, it’s very pleasant to spend time with the black-necked cranes day and night, and it’s still a bit like watching them fly, dance and sing.
Q: What was your most memorable shooting experience?
A: For people who truly love photography, getting up early and going to bed late and suffering is commonplace. Every photo that can be seen is not easy to get, and there is a story. What impressed the most was to shoot the sunrise of Mount Everest . When the sky was full of stars, we were already standing at Jiawula Pass, which was 5,200 meters above sea level and temperature was more than ten degrees below minus ten degrees. By the end of the shooting, my eyebrows and beards became frosted and my camera was frosted.
Q: I heard that you founded your own photography studio in Kunming to reveal your original intention of founding and the daily life of the studio?
A: founded the photography studio, but it actually came from an accident. My own home is relatively small, with two bedrooms and two living rooms. My child got married and was away from home. When he came back, he had no place to live. He bought an apartment and an unfinished house three years ago. This year, the neighbors are busy decorating the house, so I naturally participate in it, otherwise it would be a waste room. But due to the epidemic, the children do not come back often. In order to make the most of this space, from the beginning of the design, I had the idea of showing my photography works.

Here Yachang Image played a relatively critical role. Previously, due to the epidemic, I stayed at home to sort out photos, came into contact with Yachang Image, and printed albums, especially the art collection, and each page can be released. I want to use the space on the second floor of the apartment to hang exquisite photos printed on Yachang Image along the wall. It will not affect the children's return to live, but can also be used as my photography display space. I usually gather, taste, and communicate with photographers, kill two birds with one stone. specially ordered ten No. 3 art albums on Yachang Image, edited and compiled in categories, and has been printed on topics such as "Overseas Graves", "Brave Rivers and Mountains", "Beautiful Home", "Black Neck Crane", and "Faith". Then frame and put it on the wall to form today's scale.
Q: You have printed many albums and frame painting works on Aphoto Yachang Image. What is your feeling about using it?
A: If there were no Yachang Image's efforts in the last step of digital photography today, and without a platform to convert electronic information into paper photos, there would be no basis for setting up a studio. When I first got the album printed by Yachang Image, I was really excited. Unexpectedly, my photos were transmitted to Yachang Image via computer and the Internet. Yachang Image also gave me a colorful, accessible and warm world! It has truly achieved the transformation from virtual to reality, abstract to concrete. It is precisely because of the high starting point, high quality and high efficiency of Artron Image that friends who love photography have a channel, platform and guarantee to achieve their ultimate goals, which is why I have always trusted Artron Image.
My thoughts are that in the film era, it was natural to finally print into photos. However, entering the digital age, coupled with the Internet, people are accustomed to uploading and viewing on the Internet, and ignore the final step of photography turning into photos. Personally, I think that whether it is film or digital age, the final result of photography is still paper photos. As for whether it is a picture album or a frame painting, it is just that the display method is different. has its own photography album, which is the photographer's dream and ultimate goal. As for the expenses, the film era still has expenses in this regard. In fact, our photographers don’t care much about their expenses when they are traveling far to shoot. But as long as you travel less far, all the costs of printing albums and photos in the later stages will be realized, and this is also my personal experience.
