从镜头中觅艺趣

张建成

义乌，猛然崛起的新型城市；绣湖公园，继承传统的新构园林；华川书社，经常推陈出新地展示书画、奇石、珠宝的厅堂。

不久前，这里又举办了一位来自乡村的摄影家的艺术回乡汇报展——“艺海踏浪”。

摄影家叫吴维康，是义乌东部半山区廿三里人，1944年生。1967年，他从金华师范毕业，被分配到更深更远的武义山区当一名小学教师，四十年后的2006年放下心爱的教鞭。

武义有秀丽山川，有古老村落，有淳朴孩童。吴维康形容自己是在默默耕种着梯田。但他同时又是多才的园艺师，一位文化艺术的狂热追求者。多年来，他利用业余时间用镜头记录美丽的画面、闪光的瞬间，用照相表达爱祖国、爱家乡的感情，在方寸中展现钟爱自然、拥抱生活、寻找快乐、追求真善美的高雅艺趣。

退休之后，吴维康有了更多时间投进对摄影的爱恋中。他背着相机，遍访武义的风景名胜、民俗风情、当代生活：汩汩温泉、冬冬龙舟、映日荷花、七彩梯田、紧张刺激的斗牛、轰鸣激烈的武义全国汽车摩托车大赛……他连续出版了《武义风景线》《武义温泉》《大圆塘有机茶园风光》《武义城区全景图》等8本画册，成为宣传武义的金名片。同时，他又把上千幅展示武义形象的图片无偿提供给政府部门、媒体和企业使用。吴维康说：“我能用镜头为宣传第二故乡、提高她的知名度和美誉度出点力，就是自己最开心的事。”

吴维康的摄影并不仅止于此。他出游过世界五大洲的30多个国家，攫取异国风情，发现美的历程。更难能可贵的是，他还不断突破自我，在艺术上接连攀登新的高峰:今年68岁的他竟然已经拍摄了68位层面、层级、层次多元的中外人体女模特。

这是“迷人、玄妙的光效，精彩、合韵的影调，和谐、瑰丽的色调，美妙、流畅的线条，新颖、精美的构图”（沙占祥《东方之姝》序：别具美学魅力的人体摄影）。在吴维康人体摄影里，有价值的或者值得关注的，当是他并非科班出身的乡村摄影家的身份，当是他并非利用室内布景而取大自然乡野的山崖林泉间的拍摄，当是他表现的为具有原始朴素气息的中国农家女的生动意蕴——最充分地显示出需要使之永恒的部分：娇美容貌、柔媚胴体、优美姿态、清纯气质。这些作品具有新奇、独特的艺术魅力，因为是真正的自然美、生活美与艺术美的巧妙融合，倾注了拍摄者与被拍摄者的深切的爱。

中国当代摄影评论家沙占祥从艺术的角度观察分析：“吴维康先生的创意人体摄影作品集，以其独到的视角，新颖的创意，娴熟的技巧，优美的构图，结合计算机图像技术，融东方女性的妩媚与江南风光的秀丽、古代建筑的馨香于一体，创作出了一批优秀的、别具美学魅力的人体摄影作品。”（同上）

2002年以来，吴维康先后举办“八婺人体艺术摄影巡回展”和出版人体艺术摄影作品集《东方之姝》，这使得他在摄影圈内名声大噪，迅速蹿红。他现为中国摄影家协会会员、中国艺术摄影家协会理事、武义县摄影家协会副主席。他的摄影作品多次在国际比赛中获奖，是国际摄影学会的会员。

吴维康被人誉为“潮老头”，为适应互联网及数码摄影发展趋势，他如同当年刻苦备教案一般，娴熟地掌握了数码图片后期制作和遨游网络技能。前些年，他创办“吴维康摄影网站”，经常与各地影友交流。2010年下半年，他又在新浪博客上开通了“维乐维康”博客。

维乐维康。吴维康解释道，自己找到了艺术养生的最佳途径：从镜头中寻找快乐和健康。

果然，熟悉的人说，摄影使吴维康心境更加开朗，遇事也能想得开，得失也不计较，圈内圈外都称他是“越来越年轻的快乐人”。正是有了这样的心态，吴维康没有患得患失，在摄影上挥洒得更加自如，表达也愈发淋漓尽致。

叶落而归根。吴维康退休后所办的第一件事，就是把自己的户口迁回生育他、惦记他的老家。在义乌办影展也成了他多年的一大夙愿。这次“艺海踏浪”——吴维康摄影艺术回乡汇报展，挑选了他2010年下半年开出新浪博客后的成果。

《艺海踏浪》是吴维康最新的一部创作集。该书由篆刻诗人叶一苇撰写书名，中国艺术摄影家协会主席张春贵和中国摄影网总编陈小军题词，中国艺术摄影家协会执行主席郭万章作序；内容分“周游世界感言”“人体摄影杂谈”“维康人生小记”“工作生活花絮”四部分，收录700多张图片和130多篇文章。在华川书社展览的只是借名、只是该书的很少一部分，但仍然能给人给己以快乐和健康。同时，这也是一座城市，比如义乌，需要的现时文化事象与未来文化积淀。

因此，金华市文联暨摄影家协会，义乌、武义两地文艺界、教育界、新闻界有200多人参加影展开幕式。5天时间，观众数千。

绣川“群峰环列，云霞掩映，烂然若绣”。吴维康的摄影作品似层山深远、岚霭漫天，让人心绪自由放飞。□

Find Happiness and Health in Photography

By Zhang Jiancheng

Yiwu, the biggest powerhouse of international trade in household goods in the center of Zhejiang Province, is more than a city of business. In recent years, the boom city has added cultural dimensions to its new landscape. It has parks and flourishing cultural institutions. Exhibitions are frequently held to display works by local painters and calligraphers side by side with gems and jewelry by private collectors.

In the late May 2012, Wu Weikang, an amateur photographer, held his five-day solo photography exhibition in Yiwu. Born in a village in a mountainous suburb of Yiwu in 1944, Wu graduated from a teachers college in Jinhua in 1967 and assigned to a teaching post in a primary school in remote Wuyi County. He taught 40 years there before he retired in 2006.

While teaching in Wuyi County, the schoolteacher found himself fascinated by scenic mountains, rivers, ancient villages and lovely children there. He was more than a teacher. He was also a dedicated photographer, inspired by the rural beauty of the agricultural county. After retirement, he has been able to devote more time to photographing the county. He has published eight collections of photographs he took to portray the colorful life there. These collections display prominent features of Wuyi: local scenery, spas, tea plantations as well as the new vista of the capital city of the county. His camera has captured most exciting and leisurely moments: quiet terraced fields in rainbows colors, bull fighting, dragon boat racing, national motor racing, and lotus flowers in sunshine.

Wu Weikang has traveled widely. He has visited more than 30 countries. Moreover, the 68-year-old photographer from a rural county has photographed 68 Chinese and foreign women models. As a figure photographer, Wu shows a special characteristic: his nude models pose in outdoor backgrounds and many of his models are rural women. Since 2002, he has held exhibitions of body photographs and published special collections. His nude photos have established him a national reputation as a photographer. He is a member of China Photographers Association, director of China Art Photographers Association, vice president of Wuyi County Photographers Association. His photos have won prizes at international competitions.

Though he has spent decades in remote mountains, Wu is always man of fashion. He handles digital photographs quite masterfully using computer software and he surfs the internet frequently. He operates a special website to promote his photographs and set up ties with fellow enthusiasts. Since 2010, he has been running a blog at sina.com, Chinas biggest news website and portal.

Wu Weikang explains that taking photographs helps him enjoy life and improve health. It is a way of life for his golden years. Those who know him confirm that he is more open-minded and more philosophical about life now. Friends, relatives and fellow photographers say that he is growing younger and younger.

The exhibition held in Yiwu City was a retrospect on his photographs since he started blogging at sina in the second half of 2010. These photos also go into his latest collection “Surfing on the Sea of Art”. The book title is inscribed and carved by Ye Yiwei, a poet, calligrapher and seal engraver. The President of China Art Photographers Association Zhang Chungui and Editor-in-Chief of China Photography Website Chen Xiaojun wrote inscriptions for the collection. Guo Wanzhang, the executive president of China Art Photographers Association, wrote a preface for the collection. The collection features more than 700 photographs and 130 blog texts. The photographs and essays are divided into four sections: overseas tours, nude photography, photographic biography, life and work. □
