我的观念摄影自述
摄影是客观的一种反映，而观念摄影则是一种思想潜能。它在精神上突现出作者的主张与现实极端对立的一面，同时又和谐地隐含在完美的真实表现当中。
我已从事摄影工作十多年。当我熟悉了摄影技术，在传统摄影中发现只有依靠机缘和器材才能提升自己作品层次的时候，不禁对摄影未来进行了反思。难道摄影师的价值就只是一个世界的发现者和记录者吗？摄影就不能像油画、国画之类进行自主创作？能不能超越带有局限性的摆拍而让自己的想法天马行空？
于是我从2002年开始探索观念摄影，同时也受到了中国南方观念摄影重要代表人之一的潘育川老师的影响，使我感悟到只有用观念去主导摄影，才能为摄影的灵魂注入无限的生命和活力！从此我更坚定了自己摄影的发展方向。不过在那年代观念摄影还是比较另类，曾受过太多异样眼光的审视，也给很多人带来了惊诧。
不过，我认为无论作品中如何渗入观念和运用了何种先进表现手法，但我始终尊重摄影的特质，这才是一幅真正好的摄影作品！否则，那只是一张电脑制作的海报或者是一张电子插画，那么就失去了摄影原有的味道。
最后，在我的观念摄影世界里，为了洋溢内心那份创作的激情，不顾一切地燃起了那份瞬间的辉煌，留下的却是永恒的影象……

Preface
My concept of photography
Photography is a reflection of the objective, while the conceptual photography is a kind of thinking potential. In spirit it highlights the extremely opposite side of reality that author claims, while it harmoniously implies in the perfect real performance.
I have engaged in photography over 10 years. When I have been familiar with photography, I find that in traditional photography, only by chances and equipments can photographers improve their work levels, and therefore I start to think more about the future of photography. Are photographers only world discoverers and recorders? Cannot Photography carry on independent creation like oil painting and Chinese painting? Can I go beyond the limitations of the shot-put and let my idea be in powerful and unconstrained styles?
So from the year 2002, I started to explore the conceptual photography, meanwhile I was deeply affected by Pan Yuchuan who is one of the important representatives of the South China’s conceptual photographers.I realized that only using the concept to dominate photography, photographers can put infinite life and vitality to photography soul! From then on I firmly determined my development direction of photography. However at that time the conceptual photography was very offbeat, so my works had received too many strange vision, also they brought surprise to a lot of people.
Nonetheless, I regard that no matter how to infiltrate the ideas to the works and how to use the advanced technique of expression, I always respect the characteristics of photography, and this is a really good photography! Otherwise, it's just a computer-produced posters or an electronic illustration, then it will lost the original flavor of photography.
Finally, in my world of conceptual photography, in order to make myself be filled with creative passion, I has no hesitate to ignite the momentary brilliance, and what leaves to us is the eternal memory behind somewhere forever ...
