當你需要一位同志攝影師時，我會在這裡

love is love.

And if there』s one thing we need, it』s more love.

愛就是愛，

如果還需要什麼的話，應該就是更多的愛。

Over the past years, I』ve had the chance to photograph some LGBTQ couples for portraits, engagement sessions, and, of course, weddings. But I』ve photographed plenty of straight couples as well, so why is this page labeled LGBTQ and Same Sex Photographer instead of just Photographer?

在過去的幾年中，我有幸為幾對LGBTQ戀人拍攝了他們的生活記錄、訂婚、甚至是同志婚禮。而與此同時，我也為一些非LGBTQ群體的戀人們拍攝過這些內容，但我為什麼需要在這裡強調自己是一位LGBTQ或者同志攝影師呢？

The short version is that non-traditional couples who need a photographer can find me quickly and easily，Which is why I』m making a special effort by creating this page to let other LGBTQ couples know thatI』m here.As a gay photographer, I like to offer a personal and discreet service tailored to meet your requirements, with empathy and sensitivity for every couple.After travelling around in Europe and Middle East countries for assignments by Canon,Getty,etc,seeking the beauty from people of different cultures and backgrounds is always the core essence of my photography,especially the LGBTQ group,which I belong to. That"s why I want to capture the unique elegance and beatuty of our group, which means,your love and stories.

簡而言之，我希望以此能夠讓LGBTQ人群在需要攝影師的時候，能夠更加快速和便捷地找到我，當你們需要攝影師，無論是你與戀人的生活記錄，還是更為值得慶賀的場合，我都會在你們身邊。作為一個同志，作為一個同志攝影師，我希望能夠為LGBTQ人群提供更加私人、更加符合我們群體需求和審美的攝影服務。在我走過世界二十餘個國家，在和佳能、Getty等品牌的合作中，我一直都在尋求如何讓不同文化、身份背景的人們，在鏡頭面前去展露自己的性格和美。而在接觸了那麼多的LGBTQ戀人後，他們身上所展現出的獨特的美和自信，在不斷地感染我之時，也讓我更加確信，我需要用我自己的同志身份，去用鏡頭去記錄下屬於我們這個群體的優雅。

In these polarized—let』s be honest, pretty much apocalyptic—times, there seem to be way too many people voicing loud, ignorant opinions about same sex marriage and LGBTQ rights. People like your Trump-loving uncle who always says something racist at Thanksgiving, or the jerky asshats constantly spouting off on Fox News. They can make shopping for a photographer—or florist, or baker—complicated, frustrating, and stressful. Really stressful. Which is why I』m making a special effort by creating this page to let other LGBTQ couples know I』m here.

在過去的幾年中，我們可以看到發生在身邊的種種欣喜的改變。但是，我們必須要承認的是，當下依舊還是一個非常極端、環境還並非是那麼友好的社會，尤其是當人們在討論LGBTQ人群權益的時候，我們遭遇到的，並非溫柔，而是一如既往夾雜著反對和憤怒的聲音。而這些聲音，有時候，可能正是來自於我們身邊最親近的人。我理解，這很沮喪。也正因為如此，我們才會那麼珍惜每一個遇見的朋友、戀人、相守的愛人，這也正是我為什麼要在這裡告訴大家，當你們需要一個攝影師，為你們的生活和最值得紀念的時刻，需要留下一些影像記錄的時候，我會在這裡。

And by 「here,」 I mean not only Beijing or even China, but also wherever you are, especially if it』s a place where not all couples might feel the most welcome. Where there may not be a ton of LGBT - friendly photographers to choose from.

無論你是在北京、上海，無論是在國內哪個城市，還是國外，只要你需要一個真正懂你的同志攝影師，尤其是當你發現你的身邊反對的聲音越來越大，而找不到一個能讓你放心在鏡頭前展現自我的攝影師的時候，我都會在這裡。

Because the last thing you should have to worry about on your big day is whether the photographer you hired will accept you or not. Because you deserve someone who blongs to LGBT world and really understands your love and stories rather than just plug you and your partner into a tired old list of awkward, sexist, gender-normative poses.

因為我們知道，對於LGBTQ人群，我們不希望在我們人生最重要的那一天或者最值得留下影像的那一天時，僱用的攝影師卻無法接受自己的身份而拒絕自己。因為我們知道，我們需要一個屬於LGBTQ人群，真正懂得我們之間的愛情和故事的攝影師去記錄下那一刻，而非隨意找個攝影師，讓你在鏡頭前擺出令人尷尬的姿態。

Because now more than ever, we need to remember that love is love…and I feel incredibly lucky to have a job where I get to share in so many celebrations of love that are all so different and yet all so beautiful.

比起以往任何時候，此刻的我們更需要去記住，愛就是愛。我很幸運，能夠在這些年參與到記錄這些在苦難中磨練得越加美麗的感情。

So if you』re on the hunt for a photographer who can put your emotions and love on images, go ahead and write me an email to get the conversation started. I can』t wait to hear all about your amazing stories and plans.

所以，如果你需要一位有經驗的同志攝影師，不妨就聯繫我，可以在後台留言，也可以給我寫一封郵件。我相信，所有的機遇和緣分，都會慢慢生長。我很期待能夠聽到關於你們的故事和攝影計劃。

One day, the world will be different.

我們也要相信，總有一天，這個世界會變得不一樣。

It』s already happening. But change comes faster to some places, and slower to other places. In the meantime, until the world is perfect, we need ways to cope and manage and live and celebrate our lives just the way we are. Whether you』re Sagittarius, hippie, hipster, traditional, gay, or all of the above… we all share so many things, including the need to belong.

而且，我們可以看到，這已經在慢慢發生。只是在有些地方，變化來得更為快速。在這同時，在這世界變得完美之前，我們總還需要找到屬於我們自己的方式去處理、去生活、去慶賀我們的生命和自我。無論你是什麼星座，無論你是什麼職業，無論你是哪一類人，我們都會需要去分享那麼多美好的事情，而這其中，我們也自然會需要一份歸屬感。

Because love is love. And if there』s one thing we need, it』s more love.

因為無論如何，愛就是愛，如果還需要什麼的話，應該就是更多的愛。
