About / 關於

I was born in Taipei in 1978 having great passion for images since childhood. As recalled,

I enjoyed drawing and sketching on the margin of my textbooks whenever getting the chance.

Drawing was part of my life and an essential way of being myself.

In high school, I studied Arts and Design which led a path to “photography.” “Photography” and “drawing” are fundamentally different. The former emphasizes on observation and real-life reportage but the later originates from your own creativity and personality.

The reason why I started to immerse in photography is that it makes the moment into permanency by a simple click, which drawing is hard to achieve.

Gradually, I had a deeper understanding of photography and found the way I’d like to present as well. I also participated in some competitions to gain confidence.

In 2007, Chen Chieh-Wei Photography Workshop was established. We are mainly doing documentary photography through the most genuine and non-interfering way without any intentional arrangement.

We don’t suppose any must-catch images and let everything goes naturally. We observe interaction and atmosphere among our clients carefully.

In 2010, we expanded our services such as Space photography, Commercial photography, Image advertising, Documentaries, Darkroom…, etc.

“Photography” is life, is being myself. I’m still fulfilling my life with photography…

1978出生於台北的我，從小對影像就特別感興趣。小時候就很喜歡畫畫，記得課

本上只要有空白地方都會隨心所欲的畫。

繪畫自然在我生活中是不可或缺的生活方式之一。

在高中時期也就自然選讀美工科而認識了"攝影"，因攝影和繪畫本質上截然不同。

攝影重觀察，繪畫重創造。

攝影是在記錄，並以記錄形式存在。而繪畫則完全源於自己的個性…

我喜歡"攝影"可以在瞬間凝結一張畫面而成了永恆，這種紀錄方式是繪畫上所辦不

到的，所以就開始我的攝影之路…慢慢了解對攝影的認知 , 尋找到自己喜歡的表現
