Interview with Shang Yao-yuan | Multiple Global Photography Awards Platinum Winner
Shang Yao-yuan
Shang Yao-yuan is a photographer from Taiwan. His discovery of photography started in his childhood when he discovered he could capture beautiful photos with a simple camera, which spiraled his journey into photography, solidifying his love for nature and the beauty around him.
Hi! I'm Shang Yao-yuan. When I was 16 years old, I started to own an expensive Nikon film SLR camera and a set of lenses because of my schoolwork needs. Then I discovered that I could take many beautiful photos via camera, which made me enjoy it and start discovering the nature of beauty around me.
Explore by reading books and hands-on experience by constantly taking pictures and joining photography clubs to learn.
When I was 16 years old, I discovered that through color and composition, I could make myself and my classmates very fond of photographs. My first work was "A Little Sapling."
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III & a Canon EOS 5DSR.
I hope that my work can be seen and moved by more people and that I can continue to win awards.
Your work can be very special and unique and should be seen by more people.
As an advertising and marketing planning practitioner, I know that the power of a photo is huge, and I strive to achieve breakthroughs in my work every time.
Beautiful, simple, and impressive.
Thank you! I am sure of myself and want to participate every year. Through this competition, I can improve myself and develop a better and more international photographic eye.
This is an international competition that confirms one's own level and a competition that photographers must not miss.
It can give me a more international perspective, break through my current shooting style, and make me better.
Steve Mccurry and Mary Ellen Mark.
Light and shadow are complex. They can be seen with the eyes, but may not be captured by the camera. They must be experienced with heart and use skills to break through and solve them.
Observe more carefully, don’t rush to take a lot of photos randomly, look at the photography works of international masters, first conceive, and then take action to implement.
Do more, experience more with your heart, use more thinking to make corrections, and develop your own style.
Often develop opportunities to interpret international award-winning works and participate in more competitions.
