Track One

It is not a job—it is a lifestyle
攝影不是一種工作，而是一種生活方式
People have this idea—you go out as they do—on a trip—happily take some pictures and that is the way we do it!
人們有這樣的想法-就像別人那樣走出去-在旅途中愉快地拍些照片—這就是我們工作的方式
But this is a much more concentrated, focused form of travel
但這是一種更專注更專心的旅行
Basically we are not going anywhere unless we can get a picture out of it
基本上，我們不會去任何地方，除非我們從那兒能拍到一張照片
Te whole reason for going to a place is to photograph it
我們（這些專業攝影師）去一個地方的唯一的理由就是去把它拍下來
Usually with a particular subject in mind
通常，頭腦里已經有了特定的主題
With reduced budgets then even more so
壓低的預算，甚或過之
We come into a place and very much bear down hard looking to make a picture that will illustrate some part of the story
我們去一個地方，非常努力地去拍到能闡述主題需求的照片
You describe as a 'page stopper'—a photograph stand out
你形容一張非常引人注目的照片為“讓人駐目的凝幅”，一張驚艷之作
There are a lot of factors that elevate a photograph from a snapshot
把一張簡單的快照中提升為一張像樣的照片有很多因素
That is a portfolio of mine and yes there are some 'page stoppers'
這是我的一個作品集，是的，有不少是“讓人駐目的凝幅”
I would describe them as pictures that have great visual impact
我會把它們描述成具有巨大視覺沖擊力的圖片
The idea is that that picture will grab the viewer's attention
就是認為那張圖片會很好地抓取觀者的注意力
And make that person want to stare at it
讓人不自覺凝視許久
Maybe raise some questions and want more information
也許還會思考一些問題，并希望了解更多的圖片信息
They might read the caption and maybe read the story
他們可能會閱讀旁批說明，也可能會讀關于照片的故事
So that is our job—maybe stop the people from 'page flipping'
所以這就是我們的工作——如果可以的話，阻止人們（讀雜志時）“隨便就翻頁”
By having a picture that is so arresting that it stops people in their track
通過擁有一張非常引人注目的照片來讓人們半途忘記（翻頁）

Track Two

Most great photography have a number of things going for it
最偉大的攝影總有很多的構成因素
The composition and the light

（比如）構圖與光
There is almost always a moment of time that is captured that makes that particular photo unique
幾乎總是有這樣的時刻，被攝影師捕捉到以后讓照片變得非常獨特
You could probably describe most every photo we have been scrolling through as having those characteristics
從我們所瀏覽的每一張照片中，你可能發現它們都具有這些特性
Some pictures just happen and you get lucky
一些景象恰時發生，而你也正好幸運地捕捉到它
But most pictures are the result of hard work
但是，大多數圖片都要付諸辛苦的工作才能得到
You come upon a situation and you shoot it
你恰巧遇到一種情景，然后將它拍下來
You take many frames and you choose one
拍攝了很多幅，然后選擇其中一幅
The photographer sees the photograph before he clicks the shutter
攝影師應該在按下快門前就已經看到了圖片
That is what we call vision
這就是我們所說的“眼力”
You have something in your mind, and your mind's eye that come to you
你腦海里已經有了一些想法，你的心眼所看到的
Could be something you have planned for weeks
可能是你計劃了幾個星期的東西
The point is you have something in your mind, in your eye—that make it less luck
關鍵是在你腦海里和眼睛里已經存在了一些東西—也許運氣稍有不佳
And more searching—you are actually hunting for something you actually have in there, in your brain
那就去繼續尋找——你實際上是在尋找你心里和大腦里已經構想過的存在
And you see it and click and you put it into making a file
直到你看到它、按下快門，將它生成一個文件
Each individual face with an expression on it—it is like I took individual portraits
每一個人臉上都有一個表情——就像我拍的個人肖像
Of 50 to 100 monks in that picture but it looks like they have been individually lit
那張照片里有50到100名僧人，但是看起來他們個個都被照亮了
Spend a lot of time with that one—funny, amazing expression on their faces
為了捕捉他們臉上那有趣、令人不可思議的表情，我著實花了很多時間
