閒聊｜關於婚禮服裝的一致性
拍攝婚禮遇到新娘穿中式服裝卻穿白色布鞋，這樣的服裝有極大的衝突感，身為攝影師怎麼想呢？
早上新娘梳化的時候，我在旁邊拍攝中式服裝的樣子，問起新娘鞋子是穿什麼，新娘的回覆就是白色布鞋一雙，她自己找不到合適的繡花鞋也覺得穿布鞋比較輕鬆，就這樣搭配，當天天氣下雨，還另外準備雨鞋。
How would a photographer feel when facing a bride wearing traditional Chinese attire but pairing it with white cloth shoes, which creates a significant clash in the overall outfit?
When I was filming the Chinese-style outfit while the bride was getting dressed in the morning, I asked her what shoes she was wearing. She replied that she had a pair of white cloth shoes. She couldn’t find suitable embroidered shoes and felt that wearing cloth shoes would be more comfortable. So that’s how she paired them. It was raining that day, so she also prepared rain shoes.
其實，這畫面光用想的就覺得很有衝突感，正常的思考邏輯都是上下服裝搭配要有一致性，不管是什麼樣的服裝都是如此，在拍攝前要是問我的意見，我也是這樣的答覆。偏偏今天就讓我遇到想要不正常邏輯的新娘，當下還問起我這樣拍攝有沒有覺得很好笑。
Actually, just thinking about this scene gives a sense of conflict. Normal logical thinking dictates that there should be consistency in the coordination of upper and lower garments, regardless of the type of clothing. If you had asked for my opinion before shooting, my response would have been the same.
Of all days, today I encountered a bride with abnormal logic, and she even asked me if I found it funny to shoot like this.
一開始我還是說明站在攝影師立場，還是會希望服裝有一致性，不然服裝的衝突感會很容易讓畫面顯得很奇怪。接著話題就回到新人本身，畢竟這是新人自己的決定，也是經過思考之後才做出的決定，身為攝影師要做的事情，就是把今天的人事物都完整的記錄下來。讓新人以後再拿出照片的時候，能回憶起當時的情境，自己做出的決定，穿著的服裝，遇到的親友，還有情緒的表現。
At first, I still have to clarify that as a photographer, I would still prefer clothing consistency, otherwise, the conflicting feel of the outfits can easily make the shot look strange.
Then the topic returns to the wedding couple themselves, as this is their own decision and one that they have made after careful consideration. As a photographer, my job is to document everything that happens today, capturing the people and things in their entirety.
Let the newlyweds be able to recall the situation, decisions made, attire worn, family and friends encountered, and emotions expressed when they look at the photos of their wedding in the future.
當攝影師要做的事情是要記錄當下的時候，不管新人做什麼樣的決定，都不會也不應該把攝影師的情緒放進來，而是用攝影師的技術和美感把畫面完整紀錄、拍出平凡中的不平凡。
攝影師作為拍攝過程中的一員，不只是按下快門而已，這種事情只要有手指頭的一位路人都可以做得到。攝影師能提供的服務也絕不止於此，要知道攝影師能幫助到什麼地步，還是需要雙方的對話，通過對話，雙方才能對彼此能更了解，也更能把需要紀錄的畫面拍得更盡善盡美。
When a photographer’s job is to capture the present moment, they should never and should not involve their emotions in whatever decisions the novices make. Instead, they should use their skills and aesthetics to fully document and capture the extraordinary in the ordinary.
As a member of the photography process, a photographer does more than just pressing the shutter button. Anyone with a finger can do that.
The services that a photographer can provide are far beyond this. It is necessary for both parties to have a conversation to understand how a photographer can help. Through dialogue, both parties can have a better understanding of each other and capture the desired moments more skillfully and beautifully.
