謝皓：換雙眼睛換個角度

謝皓

Xie Hao

謝皓，網名肥皂，視覺中國、圖蟲、站酷圖庫等簽約攝影師，作品曾刊登于《國家地理》《南方航空》等雜志，一個熱愛攝影的廣告人，一個新手爸爸。

Xie Hao, with his network name “Soap”, is a contract photographer for ChinaVisual, tuchongcom and ZCOOL. Many of his works have been published on National Geographic, Southern Airlines and other magazines. As an advertising man who loves photographing, he has welcomed another identity in hie life: a first-time father!

習慣用鏡頭說話的謝皓，表達方式也有些與眾不同。

見面之前，謝皓給我發來一張二手書刊門市的照片，以及一句“明天十點，這里碰頭”。

就像是一場尋寶游戲，我們循著照片里的線索——二手書刊門市的聯系電話和門牌號，終于在渝中區中興路的二手交易市場找到了謝皓。

As a person who is used to speaking with his camera lens, Xie Hao seems different in his means of expression.

Before we met, he sent me a picture of a second-hand bookstore and a message “I will meet you here at 10:00 am tomorrow”.

Like playing the game of treasure hunt, we followed the clue in the picture-the contact number and house number of the second-hand book store- and finally found him in a secondhand market at Zhongxing Road, Yuzhong District.

捕捉人間煙火

Capture the world of mortals

選擇在這家堆滿了舊書的小店見面，是因為謝皓最近新拍了一組有關舊時光的照片，“這里就像電視劇《街坊鄰居》里的場景一樣，人們之間的關系非常融洽，幾家店主常常坐在一起，沒事就喝茶聊天，生意來了就各自去應酬。到了中午，幾家人還會在一起搭伙吃飯。”

謝皓掏出手機，展示他拍的這組照片，“我的拍攝主題，其實與舊貨并沒有太多關系，我瞄準的是人們長年累月在這里打交道的過程中，孕育出的生活氣息?！?/p>

作為資深城市攝影師，謝皓想記錄的不僅僅是壯美的城市風光，還有充滿市井氣息的生活。于是他用照片帶我們游走在城市的大街小巷：老茶館里，幾名外國人圍坐一起嫻熟地打著麻將；凌晨四五點的朝天門批發市場，商販們在忙碌中開始新的一天……他還讓我們發現了“最立體”的生活氣息：兩棟居民樓之間是三層馬路，每一層還有通往不同樓層的路，一位住戶正拎著袋子走在迷宮般的路上。

Xie Hao then told me that the reason why he chose to meet us in the small bookstore stacked up with old books was that he recently photographed a group of pictures about old days. “Here, it is like the scene in the TV play Neighbors, people all get along very well with each other. The storekeepers would often gather together to sip tea and chat. When some customers come, they would go to look after their own business. They even would eat together like partners.” Xie Hao told us.

He then took out his phone and showed us the pictures he had taken. “My shooting theme has not much to do with the second-hand goods. What I cared more is the lively atmosphere bred from the people’s making contact with each other year in year out.” he said.

Being a senior urban photographer, what Xie Hao wants to record is not only the spectacular cityscape, but also the colorful civil life. With his pictures, he led us to wander in the streets and alleyways of the city: we can see several foreigners playing mahjong skillfully in the teahouse; small retailers were busy with their new day in the Chaotianmen wholesale market at 4:00 or 5:00 am... Form his pictures, we also found the “most stereoscopic” life of common people: a three-layer road is built between two residential buildings and each layer leads to different floors. In the picture, we could see a resident carrying a bag and walking on the mazy road.

生活就是功課

Life Is Like Doing Lessons

同謝皓穿梭在二手市場，聊著有關攝影的話題，卻不見他攜帶攝影器材。

謝皓見我有些疑惑，便解釋，“過去，我也喜歡隨時拿著相機，看到覺得好的東西就拍個不停，但回過頭再去翻看那些照片，發現還真是拍了不少‘糖水片’?！?/p>

隨著對城市了解的不斷深入，謝皓如今會用更多的時間做功課：查資料、翻看3D 地圖、實地走訪等等。“確定拍攝主題后，我會以一個城市生活者的狀態，脫離鏡頭走進真實的生活中，最后才是用相機記錄、創作。通常，一周時間里，我只有一天真正在拍攝?！?/p>

When we shuttled in the second-hand market with Xie Hao and talked about the topics about photographing, I was surprised that he didn’t take his photographic equipment.

Xie Hao noticed the curiosity in my eyes and explained, “In the past, whenever I saw something interesting or good, I would pick up the camera and take pictures. But when I looked through these pictures, I found that they were merely ‘beautiful and eye-catching’ without connotation.”

With his increasingly deep understanding to the city, Xie Hao nowadays would spend more time to do lessons: looking up data, checking 3D map and taking the field interview. “Once I have determined the shooting theme, I would walk out of the lens and walk into the real life as a resident of the city and then pick up my camera to record the life. Usually, I only take one day in a week for real shooting.” he told us.

用自己的眼睛

Use My Own Eyes

就在今年4 月，謝皓完成了自己的第100次飛行。

作為一名城市風光攝影師，謝皓去過很多城市，但他總說“再沒有一座城市比重慶更特別”。

“我拍攝重慶已有十年時間?！边@期間，他從開始追逐攝影圈“推薦機位”，到慢慢理解城市，重新探索城市，并通過鏡頭追求自己的語言。

比如東水門大橋和千廝門大橋是熱門拍攝點，但謝皓卻另外尋找機位，將九座跨江大橋一網打盡；再比如我們無比熟悉的解放碑，如果利用移軸手法拍攝，就產生了城市獨特的空間層次感。無人機視角拍攝長江大橋，層層疊疊的道路就像堆疊在一起的膠卷；而透過長焦鏡頭，鵝公巖大橋一帶從遠處的橋頭到眼前的公路，被壓縮成了典型的五層立體交通；軌道三號線唐家院子站那段彎道，俯瞰之下也瞬間格外亮眼。

換一個角度，換一雙眼睛，尋找完全不同的視覺感受。謝皓總覺得，重慶還有太多靚麗的景致在等著自己去發現，去記錄。

Xie Hao has finished his 100th flight in April this year.

As a cityscape photographer, Xie Hao has been to many cities, but he always said that “No city is more special than Chongqing.”

“I have been photographing Chongqing for ten years,” he said. During the period, from pursuing the “recommended camera stand” in the circle of photography” to slowly understanding the city and re-exploring the city, he had his own language through lens.

For example, Dongshuimen Bridge and Qiansimen Bridge are the popular shooting points, but Xie Hao didn’t do it. Instead, he found an appropriate camera stand and photographed all the nine riverspanning bridges in Chongqing; another example, we are all familiar with Liberation Monument, if we shoot it by tiltshift, it will generate the unique sense of space level. If we shoot the Yangtzi River Bridge by UAV, the roads with layers upon layers will be like the films piled together; while through telephoto lens, the bridgehead in the distance of E’gongyan Bridge and the roads in front of us will be compressed into typical five-layer threedimensional transportation; if we take a overlook at the bend of rail line 3, Tangjia Courtyard Station, it will also be very fantastic!

With another aspect, we will have totally different visual perception. Xie Hao always feels that there are still many beautiful sceneries for him to discover and record in Chongqing.
