Lv Nan
(1962- )
Lv Nan is a Chinese famous photographer.He is given the name “the most legendary photographer in China”. His legend comes from his unique characteristic and his mysterious creative experience. During fifteen years’ of his photography career, Lv has been a preacher of imagery. For many people in the Chinese photography world, he seems to be even more famous in the “art” circle.
When I first see his photo, I feel like all of his photos attracted me. I feel like there are many deeply things that he wants to tell his audience and some experiences that common people cannot feel in his photos.It seems like he has a lot of words to say.The most famous is Lv Nan's documentary photography.He has visited many spaces to do his theme of documentary.
These two photos above is a series about people in Xizang's daily life.I was attracted by the style of these two photos.It portray the real life of the old.
The two photos below are the same theme.The theme is about Chinese mental hospital.Lv Nan called them "The Forgotten Man".
Through these photos, i realize that people who suffer from mental disturbance are painful in real life.
For this kind of documentary,Lv Nan didn't take any crazy or horrible scene about mentally patients.He just takes their common life.He records the real part of these patients that people would never image.It gives me a inspiration that sometimes documentary photography just show the real and casual scene is the best.
From these photos,I can know how people who have mental disease are live like that.They are not the characteristic as we image.When i see, It gives me a depressed feeling.It makes people feel dark and hard to breathe.
