2013 Kaohsiung International Marathon

Although Taiwan is no stranger to hosting large marathons, such as the Fubon (formerly Taipei Marathon and ING Taipei Marathon) Marathon and Taipei Expressway Marathon, which continue to draw thousands if not tens of thousands of runners, until recent years it has lacked a true urban marathon like New York, Berlin, Fukuoka, Boston or Tokyo.

2013 Atayal Bigfoot Marathon

I covered the Atayal Bigfoot Marathon in Nantou County for Don1Don on January 5. This was one of the most joyful, relaxing races I’ve ever experienced – whether as a competitor or photographer – and had the feel more like a large gathering of friends than a race. It’s very encouraging and inspiring to see [...]

水男子 | Waterboy

A compact series of images made with longtime collaborator, Chiba, and model Jian-xuan (建軒). For the shoot we set up lights and poured water over our model, who was not only a good sport but managed to hold his poses and expressions well while getting deluged with buckets of water. After one of Chiba’s strobes [...]

Kate's Old Tyme Engagement 傳統訂婚的故事 | Bitanphoto

Kate (詩涵)是個自稱「假洋鬼子」的現代女性,而大日子將近的她卻決定在三峽老家舉行訂婚儀式。我有榮幸於2011年的10月底幫助她和老公張立廷將這個特別的場合拍攝下來。我去年已經寫過自己的感想配上部分的圖片,而新娘Kate從我提供的圖片中挑選出部份的照片並敘述那天的經過。 後來的迎娶儀式也是在老家辦理的,但因為我南下拍攝另外一場婚禮無緣記錄。 A self-described “Westerner wannabe,” Kate is a modern Taiwanese woman, who as her wedding day approached decided to hold a traditional engagement ceremony at her family’s traditional old homestead. I was hired to photograph the unique event, and ended up enjoying it so much I ended up not caring at all that [...]

Outdoor Studio with Namiko | Bitanphoto

I met Namiko (奈民子) through a mutual friend. She was just visiting Taiwan for a few days, and just after arriving went straight to a studio popular with Japanese for a fancy portrait session. With her obvious interest in photography, and the bright sparkle in her eye, I knew I’d like to photograph her. She [...]

彥筑的一天 A Day with Yanzhu | Bitanphoto

  自從去年八月底經由朋友的介紹認識來台北唸書的彥筑一直希望能有機會幫她拍照。等到春假結束前的最後一天我們安排了一整天的拍攝活動。除了在我的攝影棚裡面進行拍照以外,我們還趁外頭難得不下雨的機會在外面拍幾組。一直喜歡拍照也想過要嘗試當模特兒的她並沒有這樣的正式拍照經驗,而雖然一開始有些緊張她還是表現得很自然。未來我希望她能實現這個夢想,更希望我能有機會再幫她拍更多漂亮的照片。 I’ve wanted to photograph Yanzhu ever since meeting her last August through a mutual friend when she came to Taipei for school. We managed to set a date on the last day of her Chinese New Year break, and the weather was sufficiently cooperative to allow some outdoor shooting in addition to some [...]

Vance 試鏡外拍 – Bitanphoto 碧潭攝影

Vance是一位對模特兒工作及時尚有興趣的年輕人,對攝影也很有概念。認識一段時間之後我們開始想合作拍攝一些可以列入他個人「試鏡」的作品。春節假期間難得不下雨的某天下午我們兩個進行了外拍。我認為他散發「都會男子」的感覺,所以我們設定了幾個適合這個形象的生活化及都會情境和poses進行拍攝。即使是新手,他表現得很稱職,很容易合作。 Vance is an aspiring model with an interest in photography. We discussed doing a shoot together for his portfolio, and on a rare dry day over the Chinese New Year holiday we made it happen. I find Vance to have an urban look, so we did a combination of some lifestyle and more urban [...]

Josh & Esther Love in Kenting 浪漫墾丁婚禮 / Bitanphoto 碧潭攝影

Joshua Marc Colp 先生和 施亞岑小姐 (Esther)2012年1月7日於墾丁辦理的結婚典禮及酒席。在「移地婚禮」destination wedding這個概念尚未普及的台灣,這樣的婚禮算很少見,而且即使在國內舉行新人的親戚朋友大多居住中部,少說也距離墾丁有四個鐘頭的車程。加上新郎是定居台灣的美國人,其親人甚至幾位好友還專程從國外飛來參加。 The wedding of Joshua Marc Colp and Esther Scarlet Shih (施亞岑)took place in the seaside resort area of Kenting, Taiwan on January 7, 2012. This was a special occasion for  many reasons. Among them, the concept of destination weddings is relatively unfamiliar in Taiwan, where most weddings are held [...]

Josh and Esther – Proposal Gallery 意外的求婚:相簿

2011年6月18日Josh選擇在他女友Esther完成第一次鐵人三項比賽之後向她求婚。他事先找我安排把求婚的過程拍攝下來。 On June 18, 2011 Josh chose the afternoon of his girlfriend Esther’s first triathlon to propose to her. He planned in advance so I would be there to photograph it, under the pretext that I was auditioning for their future possible wedding (as they’d discussed marriage, but not formally gotten engaged).
