Scentography|氣韻攝記 × 攝影道法
Photography as a Way of Scented Perception
記錄那些被氣息召喚的片刻,
保存最無聲的在場與時間裡微微顫動的永恆。
Capturing moments quietly summoned by scent,
to preserve the quiet presence, and the subtle eternity within time.
如果你想知道我是如何觀看世界的。
If you’d like to know how I see the world.
在我所理解的攝影裡,
不是去框住世界、尋找構圖,
而是讓世界自然流動,而我僅負責感受並記錄它的氣息。
我所稱的 Scentography,
是一種以氣息、光線與節奏感為引導的觀看方式。
從這種觀看方式誕生後,我逐漸在中文語境中建構出一套實踐風格,名為 氣韻攝記:
一種不追求構圖、不主張控制,而是書寫當下空氣與氣場的攝影方式。
這種方式的內在運作法則,便是我所說的 攝影道法。
它不是一種技巧,而是一種自然狀態:
讓身體先於構圖進入場景,讓觀看隨氣而動,而非主觀定義畫面。
In the way I understand photography,
it is not about framing the world or searching for composition,
but about allowing the world to flow naturally
and simply being present to feel it, and record its breath.
What I call Scentography
is a way of seeing guided by scent, light, and rhythm.
From this way of perception, I gradually developed a practice in the Chinese language,
which I call 氣韻攝記 (Qi Yun She Ji):
an approach that does not pursue composition or control,
but writes with the air and atmosphere of the present moment.
The underlying principle of this approach
is what I refer to as the Photographic Tao.
It is not a technique, but a natural state of being:
allowing the body to arrive before the frame,
and letting vision move with the breath of space,
rather than defining the image by force.
