Elderly People
Photographer Ou Zhuxin focused his lens on a group of elderly people at the bottom of society, and showed us their faces in the form of big head shots. This is a spectacle of contemporary Chinese, and it is about dignity and survival.
These elderly people, either because of poverty or because of loneliness, often participate in the free dining activities of some local charity restaurants. Ou Zhuxin asked the group of people to sit down, use a clean background and light up to shoot in a serious way. Taking these elderly people as subjects, the photographer showed his concern about the bottom of society and the weak. He adopted techniques such as lighting during the shooting, and photographed another mental state of the elderly by respecting them and communicating with them on an equal footing. In the photographer’s lens, old age, poverty, and loneliness are gone, but the dignity of the elderly is presented. This is the photographer’s attitude towards the weak. He is also using photos to remind us: These elderly people are equal to us, and we should give them enough respect.
These photos are about poverty, survival, aging, and our attitude towards others. These photos also remind people of ourselves. Each of us may encounter such a situation, and no one can guarantee that we will be spared.
