2008開始接觸攝影,在學習黑白傳統攝影期間,受到馬格蘭攝影師約瑟夫寇德卡Exiles 攝影風格的強烈影響,私心地認爲個人攝影的理想狀態便是將自身長時間地流放至陌生之地。2013 年爲了脫離當時生活的框架,辭去工作獨自旅居德國 10個月,之後在歐洲其他國家、巴爾幹半島以及土耳其旅行共6個月,其中包含42天的西班牙朝聖之路徒步,並在這一年半的過程中嘗試建立具個人攝影風格的黑白作品。除了黑白攝影,早期也嘗試過類型學式的彩色攝影專題,數位化後目前彩色作品佔大多數。目前對於攝影的哲學是試圖從日常生活中萃取出獨特的畫面。
I first came into contact with photography in 2008, and when I was learning traditional black-and-white photography I was powerfully influenced by the style of the book Exiles by Magnum photographer Josef Koudelka. I privately felt that my ideal for my personal photography would be to spend a long period of time traveling in foreign lands. In 2013, in order to escape the “frame” of my life at that time, I quit my job and went to live on my own in Germany for ten months. After that I spent six months traveling in other European countries, the Balkan Peninsula, and Turkey, of which I spent 42 days doing a Catholic pilgrimage in Spain. During this year-and-a-half I tried to establish my own personal style for black-and-white works. Besides black-and-white photography, early on I also tried to do typological color photo series, and at present, following digitization, the great majority of my photos are in color. Currently, with respect to my philosophy of photography, I am trying to extract unique images from daily life.
