她，以專業(yè)第一名的成績(jī)考上中央美術(shù)學(xué)院；她，拍攝的一系列作品頻頻出現(xiàn)在各大時(shí)尚雜志的封面上；她，在時(shí)尚圈、攝影圈中，沒(méi)有人會(huì)不知道她的名字；她，是中國(guó)最棒的時(shí)尚攝影師，甚至不用加“之一”這種模棱兩可的字眼兒。她—名叫陳漫。

“At that time, Chinese photographers often copied foreigners. They’d find a Western-looking space and shoot a foreign-looking picture. No one was taking photos of what was happening right now,” she tells me.

And what does she think about selfe culture? “I think it’s great. People are constantly9)confrmingtheir existence, saying, ‘I exist, I exist, I exist. I’m good,’” she says. “That way they can feel10)secure.”

I ask her what changes when she shoots herself. “It’s like a11)refereewho knows how to play basketball being asked to play a game,” she says. “She usually doesn’t touch the ball, but now she has to.”

注1：中央美術(shù)學(xué)院，于1918年創(chuàng)辦。它是中華人民共和國(guó)教育部直屬的唯一一所高等美術(shù)學(xué)校，設(shè)有中國(guó)畫學(xué)院、造型學(xué)院、設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)院與藝術(shù)管理等八個(gè)專業(yè)分院。

注2：《青年視覺(jué)》，于2002年創(chuàng)刊，是一本在中國(guó)具有領(lǐng)先地位的藝術(shù)時(shí)尚雜志。它致力于將國(guó)際藝術(shù)、時(shí)尚及人文以獨(dú)特視覺(jué)的傳播形式傳遞給中國(guó)的讀者。

陳漫是一個(gè)生于1980年的土生土長(zhǎng)的北京人。她是中央美術(shù)學(xué)院—中國(guó)最著名的美術(shù)學(xué)院招收的第一批攝影專業(yè)的學(xué)生。當(dāng)陳漫還在讀大學(xué)時(shí)，她就開始為《青年視覺(jué)》—國(guó)內(nèi)處于領(lǐng)先地位的時(shí)尚雜志拍攝。她把作品拍得像藝術(shù)品一般，對(duì)于她做過(guò)后期處理的作品，人們褒貶不一。

就像是為了平息各種指責(zé)似的，陳漫剛開始在時(shí)尚行業(yè)工作時(shí)，她采用的是簡(jiǎn)單的風(fēng)格，有時(shí)根本不對(duì)原圖做任何處理。“這一轉(zhuǎn)變讓我意識(shí)到我不僅僅擅長(zhǎng)后期處理，”她說(shuō)道。更重要的是，她開始在她的作品里融入中國(guó)民族和景點(diǎn)等元素。

“那時(shí)候，中國(guó)攝影師們常常模仿外國(guó)攝影師。他們一定要找一個(gè)有西方風(fēng)格的地方拍一張具有西方氣息的圖片。沒(méi)有人拍攝中國(guó)正在發(fā)生的改變，”她告訴我說(shuō)。

那么她是怎么看待自拍文化的呢？“我認(rèn)為這很好。人們無(wú)時(shí)無(wú)刻不在證實(shí)著自己的存在，高喊著‘我存在，我存在，我存在。我很好，’”她說(shuō)。“這樣他們會(huì)擁有安全感。”

我問(wèn)她拍自己時(shí)感覺(jué)有什么不一樣。“就好像知道如何打籃球的裁判被要求上場(chǎng)打比賽一樣，”她說(shuō)。“她通常是不需要上場(chǎng)觸球的，但現(xiàn)在她不得不了。”
