According to the Beijing News, Tian Bin is a photographer in Xi'an. He started his own business in September 2020, taking pictures of ordinary people who are working hard.
In order to give the photo to the subject immediately, he carries a printer and photo frame weighing more than 10 kilograms each time.
Currently, Tian Bin has 420,000 fans in Kuaishou. He said: "Everyone is not easy. I want to bring them a little warmth."
In Tian Bin’s works, there are sanitation workers sitting on the side of the street eating steamed buns to replenish their physical strength, there are women driving orders in the middle of the New Year’s night wearing hats that only show eyes, and there are elderly people who have haircuts in the open air on the street. A small stall owner wrapped up in heavy clothes, and a young street performer playing guitar and singing.
What's rare is that Tian Bin's work is captured and then obtained with the consent of the person being photographed, and then the photo is made and sent to the person being photographed.
Looking at these serious and hardworking figures, we discovered that we seldom look at and face our true selves.
This is a wonderful thing we have overlooked.
As Tian Bin said, "Life needs recorders, those who work hard, their working moments are very beautiful, I use my lens to help them record." This record can be said to be of this era to a certain extent. History is just that the cameraman's lens replaced the historian's pen.
Going to the street and examining it carefully, we will find that everyone is working hard to live, they are dusty but smiling.
The so-called fireworks in the world is not an abstract vocabulary, but very specific, subtle and vivid.
I noticed this photographer who took photos in real-time on the street very early. He became popular precisely because we saw the real beings in the world.
This series of works by Tian Bin reminds me of the old folk band "Wild Children" that voluntarily retired in "Summer of the Band". They are full of true temperament.
Outside of the stage, the way they make music is to walk into the crowd, listen to migrant workers singing at construction sites, and learn how farmers sing life with natural sounds in the fields.
Lead singer Zhang Quan even hiked along the Yellow River in Shaanxi and Shanxi for a month, just to listen to and participate in the singing of farmers and herders.
This kind of folk picking is the most fascinating thing.
The report revealed a detail. The driving girl filmed by Tian Bin became popular on the Internet. Not only did Tian Bin’s social account increase by 100,000 followers, the girl was also seen by the company, and her earnest work spirit was praised and rewarded by the company.
From this perspective, this is also using a flat social platform to speak out for ordinary people, so that their struggle can be seen and noticed.
From Tian Bin's own point of view, this special hobby, or a relatively fresh "career", is also worthy of respect.
Really beautiful works are not only made in exquisite studios and recording studios, but also in the streets and alleys, looking for the most authentic side of the world.
He is also using his own hands and shooting techniques to produce a kind of content for the vast online world. The meaning of this kind of content is not only to record, but also to inspire.
Under the epidemic, some people's lives have become more difficult.
But they are still full of vitality. When they see their serious work, they show a smile, which is the true love of life.
All living beings have sorrows and joys, joys, angers, sorrows and joys, but the qualities and spirits that radiate from them let us see the endless life, which is our human worth.
