“我去过上海!”当我回到故乡，周围许多人都急切地想要分享我的经历，兴趣盎然地希望与这座摩登城市同样来一次邂逅。

　　今天的上海，她的发展是如此迅猛，她的前进却从未停歇。不论在城市还是郊区，变化的气息浓郁得似乎要感染整个世界。

　　正在不断创造奇迹的是这座城市的2300万居民。正是他们，把这座城市变成了世界上最精彩的东方丽都。

　　作为一名从不扎根摄影棚的“街头摄影家”，我酷爱在城市乡村，在大街小巷捕捉转瞬即逝的精彩。而人，总是我的影像与照片中最首要的角色与主题。我总是想着如何表现出人最美好、最真实的一面，并努力让这样的想法体现在镜头中，并通过镜头与世界对话，与世界交流。

　　正因为如此，当我置身于这片太平洋西岸的土地，尝试着用镜头讲述她的故事，包括那些发生在其间的盛事、轶事时，我的目光总是聚焦在百姓身上——上海的老百姓也恰恰是我最感兴趣的。

　　所以，我殷切地期盼着你们喜欢一个瑞典摄影家眼中的上海——因为，我是如此地热爱这座城市。

　　加诺洛夫·弗里茨(瑞典)

　　尽管早已回到马赛，但在沪七天的摄影之旅留下的无数美好记忆，时时在心头浮现。我陶醉在那些细腻的场景中，那些不经意的细节、瞬间，总是不停地吸引着每一个旅人的眼球，或令你惊叹，或让你感动，或轻轻拨起你的心弦，激起共鸣。

　　我相信，每一个镜头定格下的刹那，都是一个动人的故事，一个深刻的视角——每一个人，无论男女老少，只要生活在这座城市的变化中，总能看到潮起潮落的浪涌、世事沧桑的变迁。

　　无穷无尽的变化，也让上海这座城市充满着对比，大与小的对比，新与旧的对比，过去、现在与未来的对比……这些对比，是如此的强烈，却又如此包容地融合在不可分割的整体中。也许，这和世界上其它大城市的发展并无二致，只是上海的步伐更加迅疾。

　　伊丽莎白·蒙塔尼(法国)

　　时隔20年，再次访问上海，一切都宛如初见。

　　就在最近的15至20年里，这座拥有2300万人口的特大都市竟然发生了如此巨大的变化。我渴望知道经过，渴望通过镜头的撷取，探知变化进程里的上海人的生活和心情。

　　短暂的一周时间里，我选取了很多不同的角度对这座城市进行拍摄。她的现代气质常令我心生感动，她的繁荣、华丽又总使我惊叹不已。

　　看得出，与20年前已然大不同的，不仅仅是无数高楼大厦的拔地而起，更多奢华商品的夺人眼球，而是这座城市的人们对绿色的生活品质，对丰富的精神文化的更多追求。在安检严格的上海博物馆，入场是免费的，展品是允许拍摄的，观众是络绎不绝的，这些，都让我有些惊讶。

　　我期望通过自己镜头留下的影像，能为增进长崎与上海，日本与中国的友好增添一抹亮色。

　　仁位孝雄(日本)

　　在我童年的时候，有人这样告诉我：“如果你挖上一个很深的洞，最后它会通到中国，那里将是一个让人惊奇的新天地”。这话对于我这个初学地理的巴西孩子来说，实在是太神奇了。这不，2011年9月，我飞越了半个地球，来到了中国上海，一睹幼时梦想的地方。

　　在上海短短一周，我被她的活力和速度深深感染。我能感受到这座城市乃至整个中国都在高速跃进，都在展现前所未有的生活面貌。徜徉在其中，我似乎能用心发现她的历史，能感同身受地触动那流转时光的记忆。

　　通过我的照片，你一定会和我一样，深信生活在这片土地上的人们就是上海发展的源动力，是他们在改变今天、创造未来。

　　有机会在这里和如此聪慧、宽容和友好的人们相逢，与独特的东方文化邂逅，对我委实是珍贵的经历。

　　费尔南多·因派利奥·汉伯格(巴西)

　　当我接到来自上海的摄影采风邀请时，我毫不犹豫地决定——提前两周就去!多年来，中国的当代艺术一直让西方世界着迷，我要专门拍摄上海的当代艺术以及中国份量最重的当代艺术展。

　　永远难忘那为期三周的上海之旅，我挖掘着上海之美，或是自己探寻，或是聆听才华横溢的上海当代艺术家、收藏家的指点。我参观了新落成的桃浦当代艺术中心，结识了霓虹艺术家申凡、陶瓷艺术家刘建华等享有盛名的人物，更有幸在M50创意园区拍摄了很多的艺术精品。

　　在上海的日子里，我和其它世界摄影家得到了温馨而细致的接待，一张让人惊叹的日程安排表，让我们自由地前往许多地方，使我们得以更深入地观察上海、了解上海、欣赏上海。

　　我相信，上海作为世界最重要的大都市之一，将更加出色地成为东方与西方，中国与世界人文沟通、商业交流的桥梁。

　　迈克尔·劳耐尔(美国)

　　在上海这个大都市，首先映入我们眼帘的就是她的现代化，令人赏心悦目、备感震撼。

　　在我看来，与古老的欧洲城市相比，上海就像是一个年轻热情的小姑娘，浑身透着活力，正如我照片中的许多阳光娃娃那样。

　　当然，你也会发现，这个城市里还有些地方，一如50年前的模样，那里的人们仍然居住在条件极为艰苦的社区，而那些社区有的恰恰就住在刚刚崛起不久的世界上最先进、最摩登的大楼之下。

　　这是我漫步上海时，感受到的最鲜明的对比。我相信，这里的居民，也为上海的发展作出了贡献。

　　这，就是最真实、最全面的不断发展中的上海。上海的魅力和活力正是源自于她的真实。

　　克劳迪奥·伯纳第(意大利)

　　七年前，我第一次来上海，站在宏伟的金茂大厦脚下，透过身边的野草丛，为它照了张相。

　　今天，当大巴载着我从机场高速路进入市区时，一个更加崭新的浦东在眼前掠过——金茂大厦附近再也没有野草了。环球金融中心，又一座令人印象深刻的地标建筑矗立眼前。它们的周围，高楼大厦更是鳞次栉比。

　　短暂采风之旅的七天里，“速度”，成为时常跳动在我脑海中的单词。

　　当我站在城市规划馆那巨大的上海规划模型前，我觉得自己经历了人生中最快的一天，这座城市发展数年乃至数十年的轨迹与愿景，凝聚在此短短的10分钟，巨变的速度令人恍如隔世。

　　我感叹于上海的发展速度，觉得自己就像一个小小的细胞，奔腾在上海的主动脉中。

　　只有远离千帆竞发的黄浦江畔和车水马龙的大街小巷，看到公园里共享垂钓之乐的父子，树荫下携手漫步私语的情侣，午后咖啡馆里细品浓香的顾客，我才会感到速度之箭在这座始终运转着的城市的偶尔舒缓。

　　这就是这座耀眼都市的精彩、魅力与活力吧。

　　Comments of Foreign Photographers

　　“I have been to Shanghai.”When I am back to home，people like to know everything about the city. They want to take in all your experiences and encounters with this modern city.

　　Shanghai today is rapidly changing，its never-ending change and evolution are in the urban，the countryside，their effects spreading across borders，around the world.

　　The city hosts a lot of people，23 million to be more exactly. It is every one of them that make the city a most brilliant eastern metropolis in the world.

　　I am not a studio photographer. I am a street photographer and love to capture the moment and pace on the vast boulevards of true world and real beauty. People will always be the priorities in my films and photographs. I am obsessed with the idea of bringing out the best and truest of people;have them interact with my camera，talk to the world through my camera lens and communicate.

　　It is because of that，that I came to this land on the west coast of the Pacific. While I am telling stories—whether it is about events or anecdotes around the world，it is always the people that are my focus—and the people of Shanghai are among my favorites!

　　So I hope you enjoy my way of portraying Shanghai through the eyes of a Swede—because I’m in love with you Shanghai.

　　Janolof Fritze Sweden

　　Though I am already back in Marseille，the seven days in Shanghai left me an exceptional experience and it rises in my mind constantly. I became attached，hung up to details. All those little things and the spell of an instant that catches the eyes of each traveler，amaze，touch，or strike a chord for you.

　　The pictures that catch your eyes are moving. In the spell of an instant，they tell a story，they offer something profound and intimate: the story of women and men living in that city of unceasing movement，ebb and flow.

　　The endless change brings forward Shanghai，the city of permanent contrasts: the huge，the tiny，the new，the old，the past，the present and the future……These contrasts are so strong，but all interlocked into an indivisible unit. It is just like in any big city of the world，but there everything goes much faster.

　　Elisabeth Montagnier France

　　After 20 years，it seems so fresh that I feel like seeing it for the first time when revisiting Shanghai.

　　In the recent 15-20 years，this metropolis of 23 million people has changed so profoundly. I am eager to know how these changes have happened and to record and explore Shanghai people’s life and feelings in this transforming city.

　　In a short week，I have chosen several different perspectives to take pictures of the city. Not only am I impressed by its modernity，I marveled at its prosperity and beauty.

　　Certainly，compared with 20 years ago，the differences lie not only in the soaring high-rises and varieties of eye-catching luxuries，but also in people’s earnest pursuit of a green and healthy life and a higher and multi-faceted cultural life. Shanghai Museum with tight security measures is open to visitors free of charge. Exhibits there can be taken pictures of and visitors come in continuous streams. All these surprised me.

　　I hope my pictures will add to the friendship between Nagasaki and Shanghai，Japan and China.

　　When I was a kid，I was told that if I was to dig a really deep hole I would end up in China .There would be an amazing new world. That seemed magical for a Brazilian child learning his very first notions of geography. This September，2011，after just travelling around half of the world，I arrived in Shanghai，China，a city I had dreamed of for many years.

　　In the following seven days，I was deeply impressed by the vitality and speed of the city.I can feel that Shanghai，and maybe the whole country，is a new kind of living structure in a very high speed. Enjoying my life in Shanghai，I seem to discover its history with my heart and it seems like a tactile exploration of time.

　　From the pictures，you will certainly find that people in the city are the propellers of this movement，transforming the present and creating the future.

　　The opportunity of facing such unique oriental culture，in this very peculiar moment，with such wise，tolerant and kind people，was a very intense experience for me.

　　Fernando Imperio Hamburger Brazil

　　When I was invited to Shanghai to photograph，I decided without any hesitation to arrive two weeks early.Contemporary art in China has captivated the imagination of the west for many years，and I decided to photograph SH Contemporary-China's most important contemporary art fair.

　　I’ll never forget the three weeks I spent exploring Shanghai on my own and with the help of artists and allergists I met at SH Contemporary. I visited the new Taopu Art Center and met legendary Chinese artists like neon artist Shen Fan and the ceramic artist Liu Jianhua.Besides，I also photographed many pieces of fine art at Shanghai’s famous M50 art center.

　　During these days in Shanghai，the other international photographers and I were treated warmly and carefully，and given a surprisingly impressive schedule that took us to many parts of Shanghai a casual tourist wouldn’t visit and gave us a deeper observation，understanding and appreciation of Shanghai.

　　I believe，Shanghai as one of the world’s most important big cities will play a big role in bridging the east and the west，China and the World through culture and commerce.

　　Michael Rauner U.S.

　　One of the things we see immediately in Shanghai，is its wonderful and electrifying modernity.

　　Compared to the old European cities，Shanghai is a lively and enthusiastic little girl，full of energy and strength，like these children in my pictures.

　　Of course you also realize that there are still areas that feels like 50 years ago. People who live in some communities are still a bit humble，and just below some of the most progressive and modern skyscrapers in the world.

　　This is definitely the most obvious contrasts I encountered wandering around the city.I believe people who live there also do contributions to the development of the city.

　　This is a real，comprehensive and continuously developing Shanghai.We feel the charm and energy of a city like Shanghai because it is authentic and real.

　　Claudio Bonoldi Italy

　　During my first visit to Shanghai seven years ago，I stood near the bottom of the beautiful Jinmao Tower and took a picture of it through some weeds.

　　Now，riding by myself in a big coach from the airport into town，a new Pudong whizzes past me，and instead of weeds，I see another impressive landmark，the World Financial Center and another thousand new buildings reaching beyond the horizon.

　　And speed is the word that keeps popping up in my head in neon letters throughout this amazing week.

　　I'm experiencing the quickest 24 hours of my life，the city’s few decades of development in 10 minutes，standing above a huge model of the city inside the “Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center”.

　　I'm thinking of speed，feeling like a tiny blood cell being pumped through the city’s main artery.

　　Far away from the Huangpu river on which hundreds of motor barges are chugging up there are the busy streets with cars，bicycles，tricycles and thousands of people constantly passing on.Somtimes things slow down with fathers fishing with their sons，couples strolling under the plane trees，and customers enjoying a quiet cup of tea-short breaks in a city that is all about movement.

　　This is the charm and kinetic energy of the sparkling metropolis !
