臺灣原民文化站上世界舞台 《傳承》獲國際級攝影大獎

【看英文中國郵報學英文】國際攝影盛事索尼攝影大獎（Sony World Photography Awards）今年針對來自60個國家、地區的攝影作品進行評比，選出各國前三名作品。台灣區域國家獎由攝影師鍾亞庭以作品《傳承》獲得首獎，第二、三名分別由吳永森的《注視》與蔡之甯《無》拿下。

The Sony World Photography Awards, one of the most significant international photography competitions, has selected local talents across more than 60 countries and regions.

The winner of the National Award of the Taiwan region went to Ya-Ting Chung, followed by Wu Yung-sen and Tsai Chih-ning who took the second and third places, respectively.

獲獎者不僅能獲得專業攝影器材，作品也將於4月17日至5月4日在倫敦薩默塞特宮（Somerset House）展出。

The regional winners will receive the Sony digital imaging equipment while their works will be exhibited in the Somerset House in London, England from April 17 to May 4.

身為專業人像攝影師的鍾亞庭認為「傳承」是一種美好，而他在台灣原住民於特殊重要場合中所穿著的傳統服飾，看見了代代相傳的實踐，因此希望能透過捕捉這對原住民新婚夫婦的影像來記錄這份傳承。鍾亞庭獲獎後表示感到相當的榮耀，也希望能透過他的影像，讓更多人看見台灣原住民傳統文化的美！

As a portrait photographer, Chung took a picture of a newly-wed indigenous couple, who wore their traditional costume for the occasion, in which he saw the tradition being passed down through generations, according to a press release provided by Sony Taiwan.

In response to the award, Chung said he felt honored and expressed hopes that Taiwan’s indigenous culture could be appreciated around the world through his photos.

因熱愛潛水、加上好奇心驅使而自學展開專業水下攝影師生涯的的吳永森，以擅長的廣角拍攝捕捉巴哈半島的海獅向下衝刺獵食沙丁魚畫面，透過凝結了壯觀瞬間的作品《注視》取得二獎佳績。

Wu Yung-sen, who has been driven by his curiosity and passion of scuba diving, became a self-taught underwater photographer. Wu’s photo, named “Gaze” which captured the moment of sea lion preying on groups of sardines in Baja California, Mexico, won the second place of the national award of Taiwan region.

三獎則頒發給以充滿藝術抽象概念作品《無》參賽的蔡之甯。就讀美術、設計相關科系、年僅23歲的蔡之甯在學時期就對攝影有著濃厚興趣，在籌備畢業展期間，因緣際會下誕生了這組以手為拍攝主體的影像系列。

The third place went to Tsai Chih-ning’s abstract photo, “Non-being.” Tsai, 23 who majored in art and design, has developed an interest in photography since she was a college student. During her preparation for the graduation exhibition, Tsai had created this series of images on the themed of “hands.”

作品描繪「無常」，此得獎作品《無》為系列中最後一件，左右手各自代表陰陽、隱喻合一，亦表徵結尾與重生。

The last image of the series shows two hands that represent the yin and yang, a concept of dualism that depicts the meaning of the “impermanence.” Also, the yin and yang symbolize both the end and beginning in the picture.
