創作理念  Artist Statement

 

​

「有時候，一個瞬間是如此的熟悉...」這幾個字道出了我在捕捉每一個畫面時的感受。

​

我會不斷的嘗試透過鏡頭捕捉那樣的畫面──讓我想起某個人、某件事、某個地方、或是生活中的某些感動。那些畫面毋須總是偉大的景物，其實在日常的平凡生活裡，就充滿了許許多多大大小小的共鳴，足以讓我們停下腳步慢慢品味。

 

如果你問我，攝影對我來說是什麼？我會說，攝影是對人生的熱愛，它充滿著極其細微和敏銳的觀察；從開始的瞬間到作品的呈現，每一個步驟都必須觸動攝影者心底的激情，才能拍攝出我常說的「會說故事的照片」。

​

如果人生是用許多片段的記憶堆積起來的，當這些片段的記憶從腦海消失，往往記憶中的人、事、物也跟著消失。但是，攝影卻能夠把這些記憶片段長時間的保留下來。我想，每個人都有整理舊照片的經驗，不管整理出來的記憶是好是壞，都是每一個人成長的痕跡。

​

我對自己的攝影作品有個期許，就是希望讀者除了把它們當作照片來欣賞，同時還能因為這樣的視覺體驗，觸發內心小小的感動；就好像是無意間聞到某種香水氣味， 讓你想起某個人，或是看到麵包店櫥窗裡的波蘿麵包，想起童年時光一樣。

​

透過攝影，我們可以更進一步的認識我們已經知道的世界，也可以看到我們不曾到過的地方，就像是跟著攝影師的腳步，發現萬物的偉大，觸發無限的感動。我想，這就是每一位攝影創作者最大的目標和期許。

​

我不是個會用文字描述感受的人，但是由衷希望藉由我的影像作品能夠找到一些共鳴，把我拍攝時的感動傳遞給每一個人。

​

正如巴西著名作家保羅.科爾賀 (Paulo Coelho) 的《牧羊少年奇幻之旅》書中主角，我也持續在追尋著屬於自己的人生傳奇。

“Sometimes a moment in time feels so familiar”….those words in themselves capture a feeling that makes me want to take a photograph. I try to capture that moment, that feeling that can bring back a memory, that someone, a special moment, just like the normality of our daily lives.

 

Someone asked me what photography feels like. Photography is very passionate and comes with a high degree of sensibility. That very sensibility is what I wish to capture.

 

Life is full of memories, memories can disappear with people but photographs are for ever. Just as a smell can bring back a specific moment in your life and can make your senses tingle and transforms into a feeling inside, I seek to create the same sensation with my photographs transporting every person at that moment from reality to a few seconds of exploring time and memories.

 

“…by means of a photograph we can discover the unknown, including something of ourselves, which can make us want to feel something new and observe those small details that can make us unique and leave their mark on our lives”…..Those words that someone told me, are very dear to me. It is one of the biggest rewards that can be given if my photographs can live up to those words spoken to me.

 

As says Paulo Coelho in his book “The Alchemist”, I also pursue my personal legend.
