Xuan Paper is one of the wenfangsibao of Chinese traditional classical painting and calligraphy. With the previous two "ink" and "pen" combined with photography to create a new style of Chinese creative portrait of the successful experience, let me have the "paper" and portrait photography combined to create the impulse. So decided to use the Chinese ancient lady's modelling, coupled with the graceful Dunhuang flying dance, combined with the characteristics of the paper to create a set of Chinese painting artistic conception with innovative consciousness of the works.

"Adhering to the Pine bamboo gas, its own clean high wind, body like lavender, body like Shishui, Volume Shu Jianghai small, gallop the laws and deep, cut the King Hugh Cherish, the rivers and lakes to be beautiful article." "The Ancients used poetry to show the rich connotation of Xuan paper, now I want to use modern photography techniques to deduce." Filming this seemingly simple but actually has been integrated into the Chinese millennium cultural charm of the connotation of the paper is really painstaking, because I know if the use of plain and intuitive method of shooting is doomed to failure. Should take paper as a phase, into the changes of Chinese ink, combined with the beauty of flying dance, showing a visual and creative innovative and not without losing the Chinese wind beauty rhyme works, this goal forced me to constantly the idea of the overthrow, is very distressed, even a pause for more than a year, will shoot the side of the plan, until July, Re-adjusting the state and thinking again.

Before filming, I collected more than 10 different rice paper for my repeated pondering, found that different kinds of rice paper with different color and texture, some rice paper is also mixed with a lot of silver powder or gold film, under the backlight irradiation more subtle and aesthetic changes, will paper rubbing, rubbing, tearing into various shapes, can have the elegant clothes, It can also show the spirit of the ink-colored landscape. These rich changes from rice paper gave me creative inspiration, let me finally in the human body dynamic and light paper after the combination of the way to complete this series of works.

Complete the work

Complete the process:

1. Take the paper material. Collect all kinds of rice paper, put Xuan Rice on the soft light cover, through the transmission of light, rice paper will produce a different form, or deep or shallow effect, deliberately use tearing, twisting, kneading, combination and other ways, change the paper's shape, combining the fairy elegant dress and crony, or similar to the texture of the splash-ink landscape.

2. Draw a sketch. Rinse out the pictures of the paper, and then design and sketch the characters that fit the paper type. In the body shape can refer to the Dunhuang murals "flying" dance, as far as possible to make the combination of paper and people appear harmonious and beautiful, you can try a combination of various ways in order to find the best solution. The full preparation of the early stage will give the whole filming process a half effect.

3. Shoot the character part. According to the design of the sketch, make the makeup, do the modelling, take the action of the good characters, have a sketch of the early stage, the model only needs to set the action according to the sketch, which makes the filming process shorter and more efficient. In order to show a transparent sense of light, so that the characters and transparent paper can achieve the greatest degree of fit, the model is placed in a large soft light mask before the left and right two metering to balance the light, to avoid the great contrast caused by the backlight shooting.

4. Will shoot good paper and characters dynamically through PS combination. Relying on the powerful PS function can make all kinds of convergence become natural harmony, integration.

5. Through the PS liquefaction and deformation tools, the paper and the human body to adjust to the best state.

6. The model skin is made more delicate and transparent at the same time, adjust the color and brightness of the paper, especially in conjunction with the body of the waist part, appropriate to let the paper tone close to human skin color. Brush out the shadow effect of the Ribbon, lift the light waist, and so on, through the exquisite refinement of various details, making the transition between paper and waist appears more natural. In order to make the paper appear transparent similar to the effect of skirt yarn, but also the brightness of the Xuan paper, rendering tones, showing a gradual sense of beauty.

7. Complete the work. Optimize the skin color and paper after the final step of the design decoration. The use of circular composition to increase the charm of Chinese wind, the border using a dark paper texture, the final match with the words and seals.

Design points:

1. The makeup of the model to have the characteristics of Chinese ladies, but not too traditional modelling, to take some modern minimalist fashion sense, makeup also highlights eyebrow and lip color, other parts do not do too much modification. In order to let the body part has the biggest display space, the bra clothing as far as possible does not wear, uses pastes the underwear to block, under wears to be able to expose waist line and buttocks's low waist trousers. With a few paper paper tape made into "flying" streamers, with the fan blow, add dynamic beauty.

2. Enable a large soft light cover, as far as possible, the upper body action in the soft light cover to complete, lower body can be ignored. This body will show a transparent effect, about two soft light also to try to balance the light source, because the Chinese painting is not too pay attention to the changes in lighting, so the use of large flat, but the flat also have a three-dimensional lighting, so as to be with the early filming of a good paper material fit.

3. To the texture of the paper to take out the charm of Chinese ink painting, we should try to reflect the paper's light, texture and knead the level of the sense of the place.

4. Post-Production, to weaken the human body, the visual Center in order to guide the texture changes in the paper, so the body's skin color should be treated more elegant.
