What is Photography to Me?
To me, photography is a way of becoming aware of myself.
Each time I review an image, I ask: Why do I like this? Why don’t I like that?
Through that process, I keep what nourishes me and let go of what doesn’t.
Over time, this ongoing reflection sharpens how I observe the world—and my work becomes more nuanced, layered, and diverse.
What Defines a Photographer?
Practically speaking, maybe it’s someone who makes a living through photography.
But for me, a photographer is someone who can translate the images in their mind into photographs—and move others through them.
What do you think?
How It All Began
When I was a kid, my grandfather often took pictures of me and my sister.
One day, he gave my sister a fancy camera when she was in high school.
She used it to photograph a tree—and surprisingly, she won a competition!
And I thought:
“Why did Grandpa give her the camera and not me?”
“How can just a photo of a tree win a prize?!”
That jealousy lit a fire in me.
I bought my first point-and-shoot camera and started exploring photography.
With the rise of the internet, I dove deeper, teaching myself from online resources.
Eventually, pressing the shutter became a way of storing memory.
In 2009, I brought my first DSLR to document my grandfather’s funeral.
Since graduating, I’ve made my living through photography—and honestly, I can’t imagine life without it anymore.
Grandpa, look—I’ve kept going.
And my sister? She stuck with French and is now preparing to move to Canada… to photograph more trees. :)

攝影是什麼?
對我來說，攝影是察覺自己的方式。
在透過檢視影像的過程中質問自己為什麼喜歡、為什麼不喜歡，再一一整理成養分或是捨去。
再以長時間的咀嚼及經驗累積對觀察影像有更多的角度可以探討，讓影像呈現的更細膩多元。
攝影師的定義?
以現實來說，能以攝影為大部分收入養活自己就可以算攝影師了吧
而我的解釋是，能把自己腦中想像的畫面以攝影的方式傳達出來，並且讓觀者感受到，就是攝影師了。
您覺得呢?
何時開始接觸攝影?
小時候我跟姊姊的照片很多是阿公幫我們紀錄的
姊姊在高中的時候阿公給了她一台很厲害的相機
於是她用那台相機拍了一顆樹去參加攝影比賽
結果竟然得獎了!
”為什麼阿公給姊姊相機不給我?!”
”為什麼拍一棵樹也可以得獎?!”
心裡除了有很多的疑問
還有很多對姊姊的嫉妒
於是自己就從買傻瓜相機開始接觸攝影
高中有網路後就在網路上找資料
然而在真正開始攝影後
快門跟記憶就連結在一起了
2009年我帶著我第一台單眼紀錄了阿公的喪禮
畢業到現在都靠著影像維生呢
大概也無法想像沒有攝影的生活了
阿公你看!我堅持下來了喔!
而姊姊呢?
她在法文也堅持下去了，所以準備移民加拿大去拍更多樹了 :)
