Shirley Wung, a Taiwanese Photographer Who Pursues the Beauty of Light
Shirley Wung is a renowned Taiwanese photographer who has won several international photography awards over the years. In the last decade, through continuous learning and a focus on self-improvement, she has photographed the beauty of various locations and then turned them into exquisite and eternal paintings.
追尋光之美的台灣攝影師翁富美（Shirley Wung）
翁富美（Shirley Wung）是位榮獲多項國際攝影大獎的台灣攝影師。在過去的十多年中，她不斷地經由學習和自我提升，將許多難得的各地美景收入鏡頭之下，使其變為一幅幅精美永恒的畫作。

She is particularly sensitive to the rhythm of light; whether from sunlight, aurora, biological or artistic design, different spectra of light express different aesthetics. For example, her “Green Light Forest” image, which captures the flickering and jumping fireflies in the forests of Taiwan, is as magical as a fairytale world. This image won her first prize in the “Beauty of Nature” category of the 2021 Siena International Photo Awards.
她對光的韻律，尤其敏銳；不論是來自陽光，極光，生物或是人文的設計，在她的鏡頭下，不同的光譜，散發著不同的美感。例如，她的“綠光森林”圖像，捕捉到台灣森林中閃爍跳躍的螢火蟲，有如童話世界般的迷人。這張圖像為她嬴得了2021年度錫耶納國際攝影大賽“自然之美”類別的首獎。

In addition, she cherishes the changes of the four seasons. In winter, she went to Hokkaido, Japan, just to capture the beautiful scenery of fluttering snowflakes, and she also went to Norway to turn the majesty of true aurora into beautiful artwork through her camera. In spring, she fell in love with the beautiful mountain farmhouses in Taiwan. The curved tea garden driveway and the blooming cherry blossoms are all good choices for her to shoot. Of course, the fiery red Kapok road, voted by CNN as the top ten most beautiful spring blooms in the world, was also her favorite shooting subject.
另外，她對四季的變化，格外地珍愛。冬天，她去日本的北海道，只為捕捉雪花飄飄的美景，也遠去挪威，將大自然極光迷人的舞動魅力變成美麗的作品。春天，她鐘情於台灣美好的山上人家，彎曲的茶園車道，盛開的樱花，均是她取景拍攝的好選擇，當然也包括火红的木棉花道，曾被 CNN票選為全世界十大最美的花道。

We are very pleased to be able to interview Shirley Wung. Through the following conversations and images, we can appreciate how she masterfully controls her camera’s perspective and captures the beauty of the world for all to see.
Q: You are such an accomplished photographer, winning many prestigious international landscape/nature awards. First of all, please share with us your training in photography and how did you start on this path?
A: I would be happy to share with you my experiences and training in photography and how I came to pursue this path.
My photography training began more than ten years ago when I first started getting interested in photography. I taught myself photographic techniques by studying photography theory and practical skills through books and online resources. During this process, I actively participated in competitions and exhibitions to continuously explore my own style and skills.
In the early stages of my photography career, I mainly focused on cityscapes and portrait photography. However, over time, I discovered a deeper love for nature and landscape photography. I started traveling and exploring natural landscapes in various countries and regions, capturing mountains and natural scenery. These works have won many international photography awards and widespread attention.
Overall, my journey in photography began with my interest in it, and through continuous learning and practice, I gradually developed my own style and techniques. For me, photography is a way to express myself and explore and discover beauty. I will continue to learn and improve, creating more outstanding photography works.
我們很高興能夠採訪到翁富美。經由以下的對話和圖像，我們可以欣赏到她如何精湛地使用鏡頭控制視角，將世界的美景展現無遺。
問：你是一位多才多藝的攝影師，贏得了許多著名的國際風景/自然獎項。首先，請與我們分享你在攝影方面的培訓以及你是如何走上這條攝影道路？
答：我很樂意與你分享我在攝影方面的經歷和訓練，以及我是如何走上這條道路的。
我的攝影訓練始於十多年前，當時我剛開始對攝影產生興趣。我通過書籍和在線資源學習攝影理論和實踐技能，自學了攝影技巧。在這個過程中，我積極參加攝影比賽和展覽，不斷探索自己的攝影風格和技巧。
在我攝影生涯的早期階段，我主要專注於城市風光和人像攝影。然而，隨著時間的推移，我發現自己對自然和風光攝影更加熱愛。我開始在各個國家和地區旅行和探索自然景觀，捕捉山巒和自然風光。這些作品為我贏得了許多國際攝影獎項和廣泛地關注。
總的來說，我的攝影之旅始於我對它的興趣，通過不斷的學習和實踐，逐漸形成了自己的攝影風格和技巧。對我來說，攝影是一種表達自我、探索和發現美的方式。我會不斷地學習和提高自我，創作出更多優秀的攝影作品。

Q: Please share with us the story behind your winning image titled “Green Light Forest” which won 1st place in the “Beauty of Nature” category of the 2021 Siena International Photo Awards.
A: I’m glad to share with you the story of my award-winning piece “Green Light Forest.” I chose fireflies as the subject of my photography because they are unique and fascinating creatures that emit a bright light at night, making us feel like we are in a fairytale. Fireflies also represent the magic and beauty of nature, allowing us to understand and appreciate the power and charm of nature more deeply.
In addition, capturing fireflies is a challenging and technical task that requires precise control of exposure and focus to capture the moment when fireflies flicker. This made me feel very fulfilled and satisfied because the photographic process required constant experimentation and adjustment to achieve the best results. Capturing this piece was not easy, as both lighting and composition required some skill and patience. I spent a long time adjusting the aperture and shutter speed to capture the best effect.
Winning this award is a great honor for me and also affirms my photography skills and creative abilities. I hope that through this work, more people can appreciate and recognize the beauty of nature and feel its charm and power of nature.
問：請與我們分享你在2021年度錫耶納國際攝影大賽“自然之美”類別中，獲得第一名的得獎作品“綠光森林”的背後故事。
答：很高興能與大家分享我的獲獎作品《綠光森林》的故事。這部作品獲得了2021年度錫耶納國際攝影獎“自然之美”類別的第一名。
答 : 我選擇螢火蟲作為攝影的主題，因為它們是一種獨特而迷人的生物，在夜晚會發出明亮的光芒，讓我們彷彿置身於童話之中。螢火蟲也代表著大自然的神奇與美麗，讓我們更深刻地了解和欣賞大自然的力量與魅力。
此外，捕捉到螢火蟲的圖像，非常具有挑戰性和技術性，需要精確控制曝光和對焦，才能捕捉到螢火蟲閃爍的瞬間。這讓我感到非常充實和滿足，因為攝影的過程需要不斷的地嘗試和調整才能達到最好的效果。拍攝這件作品並不容易，因為照明和構圖都需要一定的技巧和耐心。我花了很長時間調整光圈和快門速度以拍攝出最佳效果。
獲得這個獎項對我來說是莫大的榮譽，也是對我攝影技術和創作能力的肯定。希望通過這部作品，讓更多的人欣賞和認識大自然的美，感受到大自然的魅力和力量。

Q: What is photography to you? What do you wish to communicate to viewers through your photography?
A: For me, photography is a way of expressing myself and capturing the beauty, uniqueness, and interesting things that I see through the lens of my camera. Photography is also a process of exploration and discovery; I can gain a deeper understanding of the world around me and find inspiration for my creativity.
I hope that my photography can convey messages and emotions to the audience. Sometimes, I aim to showcase beautiful landscapes and natural scenery, allowing people to appreciate and cherish the beauty of nature. Other times, I strive to capture the details and moments of people’s lives, conveying the goodness and warmth of human nature. And at other times, I use photography to convey my ideas and perspectives, hoping to inspire people’s thinking and creativity.
In short, photography is a medium for me. Through this medium, I can convey messages, emotions, and ideas to the audience, providing them with inspiration and feelings.
問：攝影對你來意味著什麼？你希望通過攝影向觀眾傳達什麼？
答：對我來說，攝影是一種表達自我和捕捉通過相機鏡頭見到的美麗、獨特和有趣事物的方式。攝影也是一個探索和發現的過程；通過它，我可以更深入地了解我周圍的世界，並為我的創造力找到靈感。
答 : 我希望我的攝影能夠向觀眾傳達信息和情感。有時，我的目的是展示美麗的風景和自然風光，讓人們欣賞和珍惜大自然的美麗。其他時候，我努力捕捉人們生活的細節和瞬間，傳遞人性的善良和溫暖。而在其他時候，我用攝影來傳達我的想法和觀點，希望能激發人們的思考和創造力。
簡而言之，攝影對我來說是一種媒介。通過這種媒介，我可以向觀眾傳達信息、情感和想法，為他們提供靈感和感受。

Q: The cultures and landscapes of Taiwan are what your photography focuses on. Please share with us some of the images and stories behind them.
A: Of course. Taiwan’s culture and scenery have always been the focus of my photography. I believe that Taiwan has a unique culture and beautiful scenery that are worth capturing and presenting. The following is some of my work:
Cherry blooming season
In the mountains of Hsinchu, Taiwan, there is a Z-shaped cherry blossom road, with tea gardens on both sides of the road. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring, it is very beautiful scenery.
問：台灣的人文風景是你攝影的重點。請與我們分享一些圖片和背後的故事。
答：當然，台灣的文化和風景一直是我攝影的重點。我相信台灣有獨特的文化和美麗的風景，值得捕捉和呈現。以下是我的一些有關台灣的作品:
櫻花季節
在台灣新竹的山上，有一條Z型櫻花公路，公路的兩側是茶園。春天櫻花盛開的時候，是一幅非常美麗的風景。

Lin Chupi Kapok Flower Road
The Lin Chupi Kapok Flower Road is dyed orange and red, with green rice fields and red and green lotus fields on both sides; the vast field style and the blue sky and white clouds reflect each other.
木棉花
染得橘紅的棉花道，兩側有著碧綠的稻田與紅、綠相間的蓮田，遼闊的田野風情與藍天白雲相互輝映，璞質的風情彷彿是一幅渾然天成的鄉間田園畫作，年年吸引攝影同好專挑日出晨曦或夕陽拍攝，展現出花道不同的風貌，記錄木棉花道最美的瞬間。

Sulfuric fire fishing
Sulfuric fire fishing is an ancient and unique fishing method in Taiwan. In the process of shooting sulfuric fire fishing, I felt the profound charm and mystery of this cultural heritage, and also experienced the joy and sense of accomplishment that photography brings. However, at the same time, I also deeply felt the importance of protecting the natural environment and ecological balance. This fishing method, which is gradually disappearing, can only be performed in specific environments.
磺火捕魚
這是我拍攝過的一個非常獨特和喜歡的題材。它是台灣古老而獨特的捕魚方法。在拍攝的過程中，感受到了這一文化遺產深厚的魅力和神秘，也體會到了攝影帶來的快樂和成就感。但與此同時，我也深深感受到了保護自然環境和生態平衡的重要性。這種正在逐漸消失的釣法，只能在特定的環境下才能進行。

These photos reflect my love and appreciation for Taiwan’s culture and scenery. I hope that my photography can showcase Taiwan’s beauty and rich culture to people and allow more people to understand and appreciate Taiwan.
以上的照片反映了我對台灣文化和風景的熱愛和欣賞。我希望我的攝影作品可以向人們展示台灣的美麗和豐富的文化，讓更多人了解和欣賞台灣。

Q: Please share with us some of the challenges you have faced when photographing outdoors.
A: When shooting outdoors, I have encountered many challenges. Here are some of the ones I often face:
Unstable weather: Weather is one of the key factors in outdoor photography. Sometimes the weather can be very unstable, such as extreme weather like storms, rain, or snow. This may affect the shooting plan, leading to delays or cancellations. In addition, strong winds or sandstorms may cause lens blur or dust to adhere to the lens, affecting the shooting effect.
Insufficient or excessive light: Light is one of the key factors in photography, but sometimes insufficient or excessive light can result in abnormal colors or overexposure in photos. Especially when shooting sunrises and sunsets, photographers must capture the best light in a brief period of time, which is a challenge.
Terrain and environment: Different terrain and environments can pose different challenges to photography. For example, shooting in mountainous or wilderness areas requires carrying enough equipment and food (as well as having good physical and adaptive abilities). Shooting in cities requires dealing with crowds and traffic issues, as well as complying with local laws and regulations.
In summary, outdoor photography is full of challenges. Photographers need patience and perseverance, as well as the ability to deal with unexpected situations, in order to succeed in the challenges.
問：請與我們分享你在戶外拍攝時遇到的一些挑戰。
答：在戶外拍攝時，我遇到了很多挑戰。以下是我經常遇到的一些問題：
不穩定的天氣：天氣是戶外攝影的關鍵因素之一，但有時天氣可能非常不穩定，例如暴風雨、下雨或下雪等極端天氣。這可能會影響拍攝計劃，導致延誤或取消。此外，強風或沙塵暴可能導致鏡頭模糊或灰塵粘附在鏡頭上，影響拍攝效果。
光線不足或過多：光線是攝影的關鍵因素之一，但有時光線不足或過多會導致照片顏色異常或曝光過度。尤其是在拍攝日出和日落時，攝影師必須在短時間內捕捉到最好的光線，這是一個挑戰。
地形和環境：不同的地形和環境對攝影的挑戰是不同的。比如在山區或荒野地區拍攝，需要攜帶足夠的攝影器材和食物，還要有良好的體能和適應能力。在城市拍攝需要處理人群和交通問題，並遵守當地的法律法規。
總之，戶外攝影充滿挑戰。攝影師需要耐心和毅力，以及應對突發情況的能力，才能在挑戰中取得成功。

Q: Besides Taiwan, what other places interest you and why?
A: Japan: Japan has a rich culture and beautiful scenery, especially traditional architecture, gardens, and landscapes that are very attractive to me. In addition, Japan’s food culture is also very rich, which is also a big attraction for me.
Iceland: Iceland is a place full of mystery and beauty, with unique natural landscapes such as volcanoes, glaciers, and the Northern Lights. I would love to capture stunning natural beauty there through photography.
Overall, I am very interested in the culture and natural landscapes around the world and hope to have the opportunity to travel to more places and capture them through photography.
問：除了台灣，還有什麼地方讓你感興趣，為什麼？
答：日本：日本有豐富的文化和美麗的風景，尤其是傳統建築、園林、風景，都很吸引我。另外，日本的飲食文化也很豐富，這對我來說也是一個很大的吸引力。
冰島：冰島是一個充滿神秘與美麗的地方，擁有火山、冰川、北極光等獨特的自然景觀。我很想通過攝影捕捉那裡令人驚嘆的自然美景。
總的來說，我對世界各地的文化和自然景觀很感興趣，希望有機會去更多的地方旅行，通過攝影去捕捉它們。

Q: Please share with us the equipment that you use and the learning curve involved in using that equipment.
A: The photography equipment I use includes professional-grade digital SLR cameras, lenses with different focal lengths, tripods, and other necessary accessories. I believe that using good equipment is one of the important factors for successful photography, so I have spent a lot of time and resources researching and choosing the photography equipment that best suits me.
However, having good equipment is only part of successful photography, and using that equipment requires a corresponding learning curve. Especially when using complex lenses, it is necessary to master how to adjust exposure, focus, and other camera settings to achieve the best results. In addition, I also need to learn how to use different software to process and edit my photos to make them look better.
In the learning process, I constantly improve my photography skills and knowledge through reading books, watching tutorials, and taking courses. In addition, I also hone my photography skills through practice and continuous experimentation, thereby improving my photography level. Although this learning curve may be steep, I believe that through continuous effort and practice, I can constantly improve my photography skills and creativity.
問：請與我們分享你使用的設備以及使用該設備所涉及的學習過程。
答：我使用的攝影器材包括專業級數碼單反相機、不同焦距的鏡頭、三腳架和其他必要的配件。我相信使用好的設備是攝影成功的重要因素之一，所以我花了很多時間和資源研究和選擇最適合自己的攝影設備。
然而，擁有好的設備只是成功攝影的一部分，使用該設備需要相應的學習過程。尤其是在使用複雜鏡頭時，更需要掌握如何調整曝光、對焦等相機設置，以達到最佳效果。此外，我還學習如何使用不同的軟件來處理和編輯我的照片，使它們看起來更好看。
在學習過程中，我通過看書、看教程、上課，不斷地提高自己的攝影技術和知識。此外，我還通過實踐和不斷的實驗來磨練自己的攝影技巧，從而提高自己的攝影水平。雖然這條學習過程可能很陡峭，但我相信通過不斷的努力和實踐，我可以不斷提高自己的攝影技巧和創造力。

Q: Is there anything else you would like to tell our readers?
A: I would like to say to the readers that photography is a very interesting and valuable art form. It can capture beautiful things and experiences through photos, allowing people to feel the beauty of life. Photography is not just about techniques and equipment, but also a way of expression and communication. I hope to convey the beauty and feelings I see through my photography, inspiring the audience’s passion and creativity for life.
In addition, photography is also an art form that requires continuous learning and practice. If you are interested in photography, I suggest that you invest time and effort in learning and practicing, continuously improving your photography skills and creativity. This path may have some challenges and difficulties, but with continuous effort and practice, you will definitely achieve good results and enjoy the fun and sense of accomplishment that photography brings you.
Finally, I would like to thank you for your attention and support, and I hope you enjoy my photography works. If you have any questions or opinions, please feel free to communicate with me at any time. Thank you!
