一个法国摄影师在中国
?? ?閻雷——YANN ?LAYMA，1962年出生，法國布列東人，屬于法國的少數民族，這個民族的共同特點是頭發黃，性格固執，喜歡離家出走。閻雷無一例外的全部繼承了這些傳統。從14歲他就開始周游世界，16歲喜歡上了攝影，18歲成為了職業攝影師。1981年，他19歲的時候第一次到中國，之后他總共來過中國多少次，他自己也數不清。
?? ?閻雷最愛吃的中國菜是“宮爆雞丁”和“糖醋里脊”，屬特無聊的兩道菜。閻雷的漢語說得非常好，與他交流不會有什么語言上的障礙。每當有中國人夸他漢語說得好時，他總是很“謙虛”的說：“一般吧，比你好不了多少。”據說有一次他到一個中國餐館吃飯，服務員見是一個外國人進來，便互相小聲說：“來了一個老外，宰他一頓。”閻雷聽見后，大聲說：“你才是老外！”
這就是閻雷，其實到2007年他才45歲，自稱屬虎。
??? 在以中國為主要拍攝題材的外國攝影家中，閻雷也許可以稱得上是最優秀的之一。雖然，國內的報刊很少有關于他的介紹，他的作品也很少在國內發表過。但這不能不說是一個誤會。20年，閻雷幾乎走遍了中國，他用他的徠卡相機真實地記錄了從上世紀80年代到現在中國的巨大變化。看閻雷的照片就像在看一幅完整的關于中國20年變遷的風俗畫。這種拍攝的力度和完整性在中國攝影家中也非常少見。
??? 2004年10月，閻雷的《巨龍108像——20年攝影中國》攝影展在法國巴黎盧森堡公園展出，108張1.8米×1.2米的巨幅照片延公園的柵欄墻排開，成為巴黎最耀眼的一道風景。據說能夠在盧森堡公園展覽的攝影家基本都是大師級的，這一點讓閻雷非常自豪！開幕式當天，他的大型畫冊《中國》也在全世界6個國家首發（可惜單單沒有中國），首印數量就達到75000冊。同一年10月，閻雷還參加了在北京故宮舉辦的《紫禁城國際攝影大展》。??
??? 閻雷不是一個新聞攝影記者，也不自稱是藝術家，他只拍他認為很美的“故事”。1990年，他拍攝的畫冊《歌海木寨》（一個關于中國侗族的故事）在世界上引起很大轟動，也使廣西三江和貴州黎平一帶成為外國游客和文化人類學者蜂擁而至的地方。1993年，他在云南元陽拍攝的圖片專題《山的雕刻者》以及同名記錄片更是取得巨大成功，連獲幾個重要的攝影獎和電影獎，讓他跨入了國際級攝影名家的行列。
??? 當然，閻雷并不僅僅拍中國，他已經采訪過80多個國家，一年中有三分之二的時間都在路上。他是一位真正的人文地理攝影師。
??? 20多年間，閻雷一直在追逐和拍攝他所說的“像夢一樣的世界”，他說中國過去有很多像夢一樣美好的地方，但現在這些“夢”越來越少了……

Yann Layma：A French Photographer in China
Narisong
?
During 1980s and 90s, if you saw a foreigner who hanging a Leica, riding a bike, wearing a gas mask looking around and often taking pictures, that probably is Yann Layma.
Yann Layma was born in Brittany in 1962 and inherited the common features of the minority, blonde hair, obstinacy in character and traveling around. He started traveling the world at the age of fourteen. He fell in love with photography in sixteen and became a professional photographer in eighteen. In 1981, he made his first trip to China when he was nineteen. After that he has been to China many times that even he can’t remember it.
The two Chinese dishes of “Kung Pao chicken” and “Fried sweet sour pork” are Yann Layma’s most favorite Chinese food. Meanwhile, he is good at spoken Chinese and communicates in Chinese without obstacles. But he is always so modesty when Chinese people praised his proficiency in Chinese. Once he went to a Chinese restaurant to have a dinner, the waiters whispered in Chinese how to cheat him on price. He heard their complot and told them loudly, “You are foreigner but not me.”?????
This is Yann Layma, a photographer who claims born in the year of Tiger and forty-five years old in 2007.
Yann Layma is probably the best photographer for portraying Chinese themes with his camera, although very few media covered him or published his works. His footprint almost covered every corner in China and recorded the dramatic changes in China with his Leica during last twenty years. His photos look like a sequence of painting that documented the great changes. Comparing to Chinese photographers, this is a special way to document China’s changes within two decades.
The exhibition of “Dragon 108—Two Decades in China” was held at Palais et Jardin du Luxembourg in 2004. 180 photos with the size of 1800mm x 1200mm placed along the fence of Palais et Jardin du Luxembourg, which became the most beautiful scene in Paris. It has been said that the photographer deserved the qualification to have an exhibition at Palais et Jardin du Luxembourg must entitled a master photographer. Yann Layma is very proud to be one of them. His large-size publication “China” published in six countries but China. The first edition was printed for about 75,000 copies. He also took part in “Forbidden City International Photography Exhibition”, which was held in Beijing in October 2004.
He is not a photojournalist or an artist. He just photographs “wonderful stories” that he thought. His publication of “songs in a wooden village” (a story about Dong minority in China) has risen an attention from the world in 1988. By the introduction through his projects, San Jiang (Guangxi) and Li Ping (Guizhou) have became two hot spots for tourists and anthropologists. His other publications of “Sculptor of Mountains” and the same name of documentary had got great success in1992. Awards both in photography and video documentary made him one of the most famous photographers in the world.
He, of course, not only takes pictures in China but also in more than eighty countries. He has spent more than sixty percent of his time on the road. He is truly a great and real anthropogeographic photographer.
Yann Layma is chasing and photographing a “dream-like world” in his mind during last two decades. He said that China has many dream-like places in the past but now they are fading out……
