"To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis."
"摄影意味着去确认 - 一种瞬间的同步确认- 一种对事件本身及对由视觉所形成形式的极力的组合并赋于意义的确认。摄影师将人的头脑，眼睛和心脏放在同一根轴线上。"
Henri Cartier-Bresson, father of photojournalism. 新闻纪实摄影之父

I started taking pictures when I was in high school. From a little dark room and a cheap camera, I developed a true passion for photography. I love to photograph people in real life situation. I prefer shooting in natural light because it preserves the multiple shades of gray that enriches an image. Over the years, I have established my style of photography of solid composition with a hint of mellowness.
我从高中时开始拍照。从一个小小的暗房和一个极其廉价的相机，我狂热地爱上了摄影。我喜欢拍摄真实生活环境中的人物， 偏爱自然光下摄影，因为自然光能使画面层次丰富，色彩多幻。

Most of my clients are not professional models or actors. It is my job to make them feel comfortable in front of my camera. I spend time with my clients to discuss their preference, and to get to know each other. I build trust with my clients. I encourage clients to shoot an engagement session. I usually participate and shoot in the wedding rehearsal. It gives my clients a chance to preview how I work and allows me to know my clients better.
我大多数的客户不是职业模特或演员，我的工作是让客人在照相机前轻松无虑。在正式摄影前，我喜欢和客户交流， 了解他们的爱好，培养信任感。我一般建议婚礼客户拍一组情侣照，这样，客户能看到我是如何工作的。同时，我也能跟多地了解客户。

I believe ordinary people have extraordinary qualities. I thrive to capture moments that touch my heart. I treat weddings as sports. Every split second, something has happened and passed. My job is to freeze intriguing moments in time with my camera. My approach to wedding photography has much in common with cinematography. In any event, I shoot constantly; I shoot from many different angles; I look for the moment of grace, tenderness, and mystery.
我坚信任何人都有他独特的亮点。我最兴奋的时候是我奋力捕捉感动人心的画面。婚礼对我来说是一场体育竞技，每一秒钟都有事件发生。 我的责任是用照相机来冻结感人的瞬间。我拍婚礼就象拍一部没有机会重拍的电影一样，我从各个角度不停地拍，我寻找的是那高贵，温柔， 神秘的一刻。

Joe Buissink is one of the internationally renowned photographers I admire greatly. His wedding images convey a kind of human strength unmatched by words.
Joe Buissink 是我极为崇敬的国际摄影大师。他赋予婚礼摄影作品的是一种很难用语言表达的美好人文。

My other heroes are Jim Erickson and Mike Colon. Jim Erickson's ability to catch extraordinary moments out of ordinary life inspires me profoundly.
我心中的另外两位英雄是 Jim Erickson 和 Mike Colon. Jim Erickson 能在平凡的生活中拍摄到不平凡的瞬间， 他的作品对我的风格形成有着极大的影响。

The following is a quote of Denis Reggie's definition on wedding photojournalism. He is one of the inspirational photographers I know personally. 以下我引用Denis Reggie 对新闻纪实婚礼摄影的定义。他是我认识的世界著名的美国婚礼摄影大师。

Wedding photojournalism is a "style that recognizes coverage in real time by a photographer respectful of the natural occurrences and flow of the wedding day without assuming a leadership position in arranging, staging, or prompting subjects. The hallmark of the concept is both perspective and attitude, based on a mandate to be truly reactive rather than proactive, and a dedication to record events as historian rather than director. Content with reality, the wedding photojournalist quietly documents while anticipating action, sensitively observing details and nuance, capturing moments without subjects actively aware of the process. "
新闻纪实摄影是一种"要求摄影师在拍摄过程中尊重婚礼仪式的自然发展，不要去编导提示对象的拍摄方式。 这种象历史学家而不是象导演那样，富有使命感地从观察角度和心态两方面去忠实地，完整地记录事件构成了新闻纪实婚礼摄影的最大特征。 在现实中，新闻纪实摄影者在轻静的摄影过程中洞察事态的发展，敏锐地观察细部细节，从而在不让拍摄对象有意感到摄影的过程中， 记录下真实的瞬间。"
