婚禮攝影|健身、體態的管理

婚禮的細節、婚禮的角落、婚禮的時光,就算只是一道美麗、有趣的光線,也會幫你記錄下來。

The details of the wedding, the corners of the wedding, the moments of the wedding, even just a beautiful and interesting beam of light, will be captured for you.

拍婚禮總是讓我神經緊繃,前一天就一直會擔心有什麼細節是我還沒提醒過新人,是不是明天還可以在哪些地方再多停留一點時間,是不是還可以多拍一些能代表這天的畫面,是不是可以拍到自己喜歡的畫面,然後。。。就失眠了。

Shooting a wedding always makes me nervous. The day before, I constantly worry about any details I may have forgotten to remind the couple, whether I can spend a little more time at certain locations tomorrow, if I can capture more moments that represent the day, and if I can capture the shots that I personally like. And then… I can’t sleep.

要是真的失眠導致隔天狀況不好就糟糕了。在簽訂拍攝合約的同時,不只是在當天拍攝要正常以外,另一個不太會提到也不太會被人留意到的是:攝影師本身的健康管理。

It would be problematic if insomnia truly leads to a poor condition the next day. Besides ensuring normal filming on the day of signing the shooting contract, another aspect that is often overlooked or unnoticed is the health management of the photographer themselves.

不管是生理還是心理,攝影師都應該要在簽訂合約的那一刻起,為了對方而努力保持健康,在努力精進拍攝技術的同時,也還是要努力維持各方面的健康。

Both physically and mentally, photographers should strive to maintain good health from the moment they sign a contract for the sake of their clients. While working on improving their photography skills, they should also make efforts to maintain overall wellness.

這一點也是為什麼我一直維持健身運動的原因之一,鍛鍊到身體的同時,也是在鍛鍊心理的強韌度。

This is also one of the reasons why I have always maintained a fitness routine, as it not only exercises the body but also strengthens mental resilience.

在年紀越來越大的同時,不加以鍛鍊,身體機能很快會隨著時間越來越差,也會很直接影響到拍攝的過程。

As one gets older, without exercise, the body’s functionality will quickly deteriorate over time, directly affecting the shooting process.

試想一個人疲勞的時候,只會想要休息,因為大腦已經沒有任何的創新,身體也跟不上大腦給的指令,我相信這不是大家都樂意遇見的結果。

Imagine when a person is tired, they only want to rest because their brain lacks any kind of innovation, and their body can’t keep up with the commands from the brain. I believe this is not a desirable outcome for everyone.

也因為有維持健身的習慣,在觀察新人的同時,其實也都會一併觀察新人的體態,然後,我就會根據我所看到的問題給予一點建議。

Because of my fitness routine, I also observe the physical condition of newcomers while observing them, and then I give some advice based on the problems I see.

發現問題、面對問題、解決問題。

Identify issues, confront issues, resolve issues.

見面聊天會把上述的步驟解釋一遍,在解決問題上,我當然也會把我後製處理放進去,只是它是最後一步驟,就是最後的保險,而不是唯一解決問題的手段。

In the meeting, I will explain the above steps once and also include my post-processing in problem-solving. However, post-processing is the final step, serving as a last resort rather than the only means to solve the problem.

給予被攝者選擇,讓其做出自己決定的選擇,是我認為一位攝影師應該擁有的職業道德。

Giving the subject the choice to make their own decision is what I believe a photographer should have as professional ethics.

拍攝過程要注意的體態其實沒有太複雜的內容,就是處理駝背的問題。(因為其他的部分只需要減脂就可以)

Taking care of posture during the shooting process is actually not too complicated, it is just about addressing the issue of hunchback. (As other aspects only require fat reduction).

最容易看到和出現在拍攝畫面裡,就是上半身的部分,下半身因為服裝的關係,幾乎看不出來也看不到。

The upper body is the most visible and prominent part in the frame when shooting, while the lower body is rarely visible or seen due to clothing.

如果是體脂過高引起的問題,就專注在減脂方向就好。我會特別提出來就是駝背的問題。

If the problem is caused by excessive body fat, focus on weight loss. I specifically want to address the issue of hunchback.

駝背只是一個總稱,關係到你背部肌肉群,也會引響到你的肩膀肌肉,這些都是一定多少會被拍到的部分。

Hunchback is just a general term that refers to the muscles in your back, which also affects your shoulder muscles, all of which are likely to be captured.

先申明一件事,這不是短時間(一到兩天)就可以解決的問題,因為會形成問題都是經年累月,我自然也不是因為要拍的好看才特別提出來,花點時間改善最後讓身體健康才是我的目的。

First and foremost, I want to clarify that this is not a problem that can be solved in a short period of time (one to two days). The issues that have arisen have been accumulated over the years, and my intention in bringing this up is not solely for the purpose of appearance. Taking some time to improve and ultimately achieve better health is my objective.

我並不是健身教練也沒有學過相關身體結構的知識,只是靠平常運動時候接觸到的知識,通過一次一次的實踐,稍微有一點經驗然後給予一點意見作為參考而已。

I am not a fitness trainer and have not studied related knowledge about body structure. I only rely on the knowledge I have gained through regular exercise and through repeated practice, I have gained some experience and can provide a little advice for reference.

當然可以說我很雞婆,不過,我有另一個理由,也就是假如新人當天體態不好的話,我拍攝出來的畫面也會是如此。

Of course, you can say I am nosy, but I have another reason, which is that if the newcomer doesn’t look good that day, the footage I capture will also reflect that.

可能你就會想到:可不可以透過修圖後製處理呢?攝影師不就是具備這樣的功能嗎?答案是:可以也可能不可以。

You might think: Can’t we just manipulate it through post-production editing? Isn’t that something photographers are capable of? The answer is: Yes, it could be possible, or it might not be.

不可以的答案是因為有時候會因為角度或者背景的關係,我再怎麼處理都還是會出現一點違和感。為了避免真的有這樣的情形發生,我認為事先的預防還是比較重要,也就因為如此,我每次在拍攝前跟新人溝通流程以外,都會撥出一點時間溝通體態的問題。

The answer is no because sometimes there might still be a slight sense of discord no matter how I handle it, due to the angle or background.

In order to prevent such situations from happening, I believe that prevention beforehand is more important. That’s why, apart from communicating the shooting process with the newcomers, I always allocate some time to discuss body language issues.

我不知道多少人願意接受攝影師做這樣的建議,也許新人也不覺得這樣的建議有任何意義,也許聽完之後隔天就忘記了,太多的也許都曾在我心裡想過。但是,我也問過自己,這些建議只是為了自己嗎?當然不是。撇開因為拍攝才找到我的原因,難道健身運動不是一輩子的習慣嗎?真的認同健身運動是一輩子習慣的話,我不覺得這樣的建議有什麼特別之處,最特別之處可能只是從一位攝影師口中說出來而已吧。

I don’t know how many people would be willing to accept such suggestions from photographers, perhaps newcomers wouldn’t find these suggestions meaningful, and maybe they would forget them the next day. Too many ‘maybes’ have crossed my mind.

But I also asked myself, are these suggestions just for myself? Definitely not. Setting aside the reason of discovering it through filming, isn’t fitness exercise a lifelong habit?

I don’t think there is anything particularly special about this suggestion, as I truly believe that fitness is a lifetime habit. The only unique aspect might be that it is coming from a photographer.

會駝背有很多肌肉群因素導致,因為我有說過不是健身教練也沒有學過運動相關科目,我能提出來的方式只是一小部分的改善。

There are many factors that can contribute to having a hunchback, and since I have mentioned before that I am not a fitness trainer and have not studied subjects related to sports, the methods I can suggest for improvement are only a small part.

我提出來的改善方式就是提醒背部肌肉的肌力不足,還有做一點動作伸展來立刻改善,再一次申明,不是像少部分網路宣稱一天幾分鐘就可以改善這種方式。

The improvement method I propose is to remind the weak muscle strength of the back muscles and to do some stretching exercises to immediately improve. I want to clarify once again, it is not like what some internet claims that it can be improved in a few minutes a day.

只是提出一個方向,讓你意識到需要改變自己的生活習慣還有讓生活加入一點健身運動習慣,為了長遠的健康著想。

Just suggesting a direction to make you aware of the need to change your lifestyle habits and incorporate some exercise into your life for long-term health considerations.

上述也提到會影響到肩膀,是指『聳肩』這個動作。聳肩會伴隨著你駝背的問題而更明顯,當然也會因為你做某些動作或者緊張導致,這些我都會在聊天的過程去提起。

The above also mentioned that it will affect the shoulders, referring to the action of shrugging shoulders. Shrugging the shoulders will become more noticeable with your hunchback problem, which can be caused by certain movements or nervousness, all of which I will bring up during our conversation.
