<作品簡介>

無論是拍攝室內景物或室外風光，我都喜歡使用廣角鏡。這輯照片攝於西藏四川一帶 地區，廣角鏡能將藏式建築的特色和大漠風光的氣魄表現無遺。

廣角鏡容易令景物變形，所以須注意控制水平線，多加練習，便能得心應手。至於測 光，更要小心，須掌握準確，才能使受光位置不會曝光過度，而背光位置的細節仍清 晰可見。藏式建築的色彩斑爛，紅色尤其具有懾人的魅力，所以我喜歡利用紅色表現 照片的氣氛，在這輯照片裏可以看到一些例子。

Chairman

When I was an actor in Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Limited in the 70s, I was very much motivated by Mr Ho Fan, the famous movie director, and became interested in photography. In 1984 I started to get more involved in photography by taking lessons by Mr Mak Chu Fat, and joined the Hong Kong Miniature Camera Photography Society after two years (I was chairman from 2002 to 2006).

Realism is the style of my works, and I often use wide-angle lens for depiction of nature and villages. In 1988, I was awarded Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society and established a studio for wedding photography where I worked as photographer. Being actively involved in the field, I volunteered as photographer of the Hong Kong Ballet and consultant of a few communities’ photographic societies. At present I am consultant of Yuen Long Town Hall’s Evergreen Photographic Society, judge of International Slide Salon organized by the Hong Kong Colour Photo Art Club, and committee member of Tuen Mun Arts Promotion Association.

<About the photographs>

Whether I take photographs outdoors or indoors, I like to use wide-angle lens very often. This kind of lens can perfectly express the uniqueness of Zang-style architecture and the greatness of the landscape’s panoramic scenery in the photographs I took in Xizang and Sichuan regions.

As a wide-angle lens will easily distort an image, it is necessary to have control of the horizon, but “practice makes perfect” also applies if anyone wants to use it skillfully. As for light exposure, more care should be taken for accurate handling so that the part of image with most lighting will not be overexposed while details in the part with back lighting can still be seen. Zang-style architecture is very colourful; its red is especially charming. Therefore I am fond of using red for expression of the atmosphere, as seen in some of the photographs in this series.
