Judith Joy Ross :没有公式,只有风格

摄影师 朱迪思·乔伊·罗斯

Photographer 

Judith Joy Ross

朱迪思·乔伊·罗斯 1946年出生宾夕法尼亚州,1970年在伊利诺斯技术理工大学获得摄影硕士学位。 主要从事肖像摄影艺术,但她的工作地点不在工作室,而是在街道和其他公共场所。对朱迪思·乔伊·罗斯来说,肖像摄影是一种理解周围人情感真相的方式。

Judith Joy Ross was born in 1946 in Pennsylvania, she earned her Master's Degree in photography in 1970 at the Illinois Insitute of Technology. She mainly did portrait photographic art but her workplace was not in an office, it was on the streets and other public areas. For Ross, portrait photography is a kind of way to understand the real emotions of people around her.

 

朱迪思·乔伊·罗斯是一位不按照公式行事的艺术家,每次都非常冒险的从头来。当然,她是有自己朴素风格的,但,这不能取代内容。

Judith Joy Ross is not an artist who follows a formula, she risked starting over every time. Of course, she does have her own plain style, but it cannot replace the content.

 

摄影师黛安·阿勃丝(Diane Arbus)说,朱迪思·乔伊·罗斯不会任意摆布她的拍摄对象,而是根据他们原有的样子拍摄。甚至偶尔让自己和拍摄对象都保持在最舒适的状态下来进行创作。

Photographer Diane Arbus said, Judith Joy Ross does not arrange her subjects, instead, she shoots according to the subject. Occasionally, she will have both herself and her subjects to be at the most comfortable condition when creating her works.

 

罗斯的作品很透明,清澈如水,无丝毫被打磨雕琢之意。罗斯使用的是一个大画幅相机,由于尺寸关系,在拍摄人物时必须保持开放性,然后采用印相方式印刷,使一张底片得到最细微的再现。这种拍摄方式和印刷方式促进了罗斯作品的清晰度。

Her works are as clear as water, there are no marks of polishing. Ross used a view camera, because of the size, openness needs to be maintained when shooting at characters, and she prints by contact, which results in the most subtle rendition. This kind of photographing and printing promoted the works' clarity.

 

我们看到的作品有没有失真?尽管孩子们脸上挂着笑容,但我们从她的照片中知道生活的本质是痛苦的。如果当孩子们开始意识到应该怎样表现自己时,他们已经感受到了痛苦。所以,尽可能不让孩子们知道他们在被拍摄,而是摄影师自己去把握如何形成一幅作品,这样保持了一种纯真。

Did the work we see lose reality? Although the children have smiles on their faces, we can tell from her photos that the nature of life is miserable. If children begin to realize how to present themselves, that means they felt the pain. Therefore, it is better to not let the children know that they are being photographed and to have the photographer control how to form the photo. This way, innocence is kept.

 

罗斯的照片是对同情和痛苦的一种记录,我们观察她的作品时,可以感受到这点,如孩子们试探性的微笑,对她的信任的冲动,在她面前最真实的自己。

The photos of Ross are a recording of compassion and pain, we can feel it when we observe her photos, like the children's tentative smile, the impulsion of trust to her, and the real self in front of her.
