The newly published "I'm an Olympic photographer" tells Zhao Yingxin's life experience, the first female photography operator in the history of the Olympic Games, as well as the vivid past of being associated with sports as a photographer. Through fresh poems, vivid stories, precious and wonderful photographic works and rich historical materials, we have traced back the stories and dreams behind athletes, revisited countless unforgettable "first times" in China's Olympic sports history, vividly interpreted the Olympic spirit, and witnessed China's road from a large sports country to a powerful sports country, It shows the strength of the rising power behind the Olympic Games and China's rising international status. Zhao Yingxin (I'm the author of the Olympic photographer) has a spirited appearance and a flexible and uncompromising heart. She used to be an editorial reporter of the Photography Department of Xinhua news agency and a resident photographer in the UK. In 2008, he served as the photography operation officer of the Beijing Olympic Games, becoming the first female photography operation officer in the history of the Olympic Games and the first Chinese to hold this position. As a photographer's career memoir, it is a warm and sincere biography. This book presents the unique narrative style of female photographers, and always reflects the delicate and aesthetic temperament in the integration of graphic content and layout details. The book consists of 22 articles, some of which are followed by lyrical poems written by the author, which gradually transition to the main body to set off emotion and connect with the following. In the layout of the article, on the basis of following the timeline, the seemingly fragmented article is divided into three themes. First, the core narrative, including "becoming the first female photography operator in the history of the Olympic Games", "Chinese tears in Moscow", "breakthrough of" zero "gold medal in China's Winter Olympic Games", etc. this part of the article plays a "preconceived" role and aims to arouse readers' interest in reading. 20 years ago, Beijing successfully applied for the Olympic Games, and the Chinese wept in Moscow; Yang Yang won the first gold medal of the Winter Olympics for China in the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, as well as the historical moments such as the women's volleyball team winning the championship in the Athens Olympic Games and Liu Xiang creating miracles. The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games presented a dazzling rainbow to the world... All of them were fixed in the author's lens and witnessed visually. Second, focus on the behind the scenes stories of the media operation team of the Beijing Olympic Games, such as "unusual 2008", "meeting the eyes of the world", "the" close lover "that Olympic photographers can't leave behind", and explain the location, angle, equipment and other knowledge of the event photography in an easy to understand form, such as the function of the photographic vest and the type of registration certificate of Olympic photographers, Underwater windows, tennis windows and other special photography positions. Thirdly, by way of flashback, the article reviews the daily moments of hard training of Chinese gymnastics team, diving team and kayaking team when the author was a sports photographer of Xinhua News Agency 20 years ago: the gymnasium with hard training and glory for the country echoed the notes of feet wrapped in gauze jumping constantly; The fast flowing Nujiang River has left a shadow of the training of Chinese kayakers; From the ten meter platform to the podium, it is the road paved by the training intensity and time of diving into the water again and again The title of "I am an Olympic photographer" is concise, eye-catching, novel and unique. There are more than 200 pictures in the whole book, with nearly 100000 words. The inner part of the text is laid with a layer of yellow background, creating a low-key, warm and quiet reading atmosphere. In the surging Sports pictures, the words are "static" and "dynamic". In Zhao Yingxin's lens, there are elegance and wounded staggering; There is wrestling, but also the burst of challenging the limit; There are flashing medals and flashing sweat. If the Olympic spirit is higher and stronger, then the Olympic spirit is faster and stronger; If the athletes under Zhao Yingxin's lens are a beam of light, then the photographer with dreams and painstaking efforts is the light chaser; If hope is far away, we who overcome difficulties and achieve excellence are all light seekers of life. Perhaps this is what "I am an Olympic photographer" brings us some insights. (outlook new era)
