The final of the Yangtze River Gold Cruise "2020 China.Miss Chongqing Competition" was held at 7:30 pm on December 5 on the top tourist deck of the Yangtze River Gold Cruise at Chaotianmen Six Pier on Chongqing , Yuzhong District, , Chaotianmen Six Pier!
Last night at the shooting scene before the event started - that luxury cruise ship I had never taken in Chongqing waters. Lao Gao, who was wandering around to take pictures of the behind-the-scenes footage, heard the staff of the event organizer chatting with friends in their circle. He learned that they were worried that the photography power of this event was not enough, so he specially invited several photographers from "Visual Chongqing" to come to support. Lao Gao was fortunate to participate in the on-site shooting as a non-staff member of "Visual Chongqing".
Since the content shot by Lao Gao has a clear theme classification and the number of shots is large, we will first preview part of the complete process of the first theme of this event, "Beauty Pageant", which is the first part of the event.
In the past decade, Chongqing has held many "beauty pageants" competitions, some of which have caused ups and downs, triggering public opinion across the country. In Lao Gao's impression, the competition with the name "Miss Chongqing" has been held a few years ago. I wonder if this one is a continuation of the previous few times? If so, why is there no class?
Well, no matter what, I don’t bother to dig into this matter, just try my best to shoot it!
To be honest, this event is scheduled to be held on a luxury cruise ship, and I think this creativity is very meaningful! Why? Because the beauty economy like "Miss Chongqing" is to attract traffic for Chongqing's urban image promotion, and several famous business cards in Chongqing are "beauties", "foods", and "beautiful scenery". Especially in recent years, the "city of mountains and rivers" and "city never sleeping" have made Chongqing the first of the Internet celebrity cities, attracting tourists from all over the country to come and check in.
This beauty pageant on a luxury cruise ship, "beauties" are full of practical things, and they are absolutely worthy of being beaten! "Beautiful scenery", the flowing lights on the two rivers and four banks are full of colors, and it is even more wonderful to appreciate from another angle!
"Food" Yes, I didn't expect that the current union of foreign trade is really too exciting. Only you can't imagine that there is nothing you can't see - there is actually a popular hotpot restaurant on the cruise ship, and it is just under the catwalk where the model's catwalks! Haha, let’s imagine this Miss Chongqing final, which is complete with both color, fragrance and flavor! Anyway, the event site at last night was not only singing and dancing, graceful, but also spicy and fresh. It is really a comprehensive feeling of vision, hearing and smell. Hahahahaha......
Finally, let me talk about the shooting ideas of this kind of activity. This is to meet the requirements of some friends who are photography. In the future, I will talk about some shooting ideas in photography articles (I think thinking is more important than skills).
For such activities (including auto shows, etc.), many photography enthusiasts regard it as a rare opportunity to "photograph beautiful women". Therefore, they did their best (including all kinds of tall equipment) to take pictures of panoramic mid-scenes of beautiful women, and even tried their best to get to the model, for fear of not being able to take pictures of the wretched people on their faces clearly. To be honest, these photos are basically garbage, at most "beautiful garbage", and have little value. Think about it, if you want to take professional portraits, the messy light sources on the scene, can you take special lighting effects?
activity shooting, you should shoot according to the idea of environmental portraits - the focus is to express the environment of this activity, people are just auxiliary scenery, and even embellishments!
Back to the beauty pageant last night. During the competition, the golden cruise ship set sail quietly, calmly swimming in the two rivers under the night sky in Chongqing. Raffles monster, Dongshuimen Bridge , Chaotianmen Bridge, modern urban skyscrapers on both sides of the straits are wandering with twinkling neon lights, colorful night cruises... Sometimes behind you, sometimes above your head, magically becoming the 8D background of the Miss Chongqing beauty pageant.
Lao Gao wanders around the country and has seen many so-called real-life performances similar to the "Impression" series. To be honest, those performance scenes are really too stingy to compare with this big stage in Chongqing!
Last month, Lao Gao attended a promotion meeting held by the Wuhan Cultural and Tourism Commission in Chongqing, which introduced a live performance performed on the boat. Although it is also known to interact with tourists, unfortunately, its performance scene is in the cabin, and there is no natural and domineering stage background like Chongqing.
If a cultural and tourism company in Chongqing develops a real-life performance with two rivers and four banks as the big stage background, it would be strange if it wasn’t popular!
, that’s all for this article. For more exciting things, please stay tuned!
