Study of Photograph
Often, portraits can be quickly perceived and scrutinized by watching, and praised by one or two exclamation. They often have a layer that is more or less the same as common sense, and most of us are the audience who know their lasting identity.
A common meaning is undoubtedly a cliché, and often is put into a more or less technically beautiful dimension. Re-watching these portraits is desirable just as a matter of urgent reference.
This knowledge reduces neither their magnitude nor their significance. To wrap it up in one single sentence, all of us are able to create these portraits.
There are few portraits in our province, or more limitedly in our city, which can’t be put aside quickly after being praised with some exclamations. Of course you can guess that this small number of layers that have multiple meanings. The spectator of these portraits continues to watch unconsciously and without previous intentions, and if he has to stop watching and put them aside, he promises to come back again more patiently and more eagerly to discover more meaning and getting more pleasure.
The word “studying” determines the difference between watching with one layer for just one time and watching with multi-layers for several times. Although the term of photo studying or portrait studying is not so much common in photography literature, and most of us are not interested in studying of the image, we have to not feel unsatisfied with the usage of this term due to the increasing number of works which can be studied in the field of photography. Because in this field we deal with works of art that unwittingly become internal in the history.
If we deal with a set of portraits under a conceptual title, we will complain that the concept is just one layer and the sense is multi-layers. The concept is technique and the sense is art. I enjoyed studying Hadiyan’s book.

Finally, his pleasant insistence blossomed and now it’s the time for unveiling his work.
