Photographer from Taiwan, with accountphotovincent1994, has been attached to the camera for more than 10 years. Starting from his passion for exploring and capturing the beauty around him, his photos mainly revolve around natural elements, railways, animals and even nostalgic scenes. Those are what he loves the most and are also the outstanding elements in his photography style.
The photos give the feeling of leading the viewer into that space, bringing the scene to life.
During his creative process, Japan and Taiwan are two places that frequently appear in his works. He especially loves the Land of the Rising Sun not only because of its culture but also because of its diverse and tranquil nature. From the wild scenery to the peaceful pace of life, each of his camera angles clearly shows his sophistication and intense passion for photography.
After the lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic was lifted, he spent most of his time in Japan. His photos captured the beauty of the majestic Mount Fuji, the romantic Tadami Railways through the mountains and forests. Especially in Hokkaido, where he had the opportunity to experience the dreamy autumn with brilliant orange and red colors. Japan is an endless source of artistic inspiration, where every time he visits, he brings new perspectives to his works.
Through his photography trips, he wants to preserve and share the beauty of nature with everyone.
A photographer's creative journey is not always easy. Withphotovincent1994, he faced many challenges during his photography trips. One of the biggest difficulties was the weather and travel. Especially on trips to remote locations like Ginzan Onsen, a resort in the mountains of Japan.
Due to Ginzan Onsen’s remote location, he had to rent a car to save on travel time. In addition, since the nearest parking lot was a 20 to 30 minute walk from the resort, timing was important. After finishing the shoot, he had to quickly return to the parking lot in the cold weather and drive back on time to return the rental car. Although it was difficult and tiring, looking back at the beautiful photos, he felt that all the effort was worth it.
His works often focus on nostalgic elements and traditional beauty.
Sharing more about his journey to Hokkaido and his trips to the land of cherry blossoms, he described: “This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a dreamy autumn, when the land is dyed orange and red. I drove more than 1,000 km on this trip, from the city to the countryside and even the wilderness. I even often encountered many wild animals such as deer and foxes on the road and the trains passing through majestic mountains and rivers, all of which left a very deep impression.
In addition, I was also impressed by the Tadami route with its unique mountain and river scenery. I came here in winter and felt like I was entering a fairytale world of ice and snow. This section of the road is located in the mountains, the winding and dangerous road has a speed limit. In order to keep road users from exceeding the speed limit, the authorities made a special asphalt section that plays the melody of the British song 'Country Road' when passing by. If the song plays too fast, it means you need to slow down. I heard this song all the time while taking photos, which made me feel very excited.”
The photographs often evoke a sense of adventure, of exploring new and wonderful lands.
Despite his passion for exploring foreign lands, Taiwan - where he was born and raised - always holds a special place in his heart. He not only focuses on the beautiful landscapes of other countries, but also devotes his heart to reflecting the image of his homeland in each work. For him, taking photos of his homeland is a way to preserve and honor the cultural and natural values of Taiwan, while also conveying his love for his homeland to international friends.
For photovincent1994, photography is not just about capturing moments, but also a journey to understand and explore the connection between oneself and nature and the universe. From towering mountains, vast fields to the lives of wild animals, he feels the vitality and mystery of the world around him.
By using a telephoto lens, he compresses the distance between objects, creating unique and novel perspectives that surprise and delight the viewer.
His photographs exude the subtlety of every moment,
whether still or moving
The contrast between natural scenery and technological elements such as trains or vehicles is skillfully captured in each frame.
