Taiwanese photography

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Taiwanese Photography is deeply connected to the history of Taiwan rooted. Early photography is divided into two periods: Pre-Japanese from approx. 1858 to 1895 and the period of Japanese influence from 1895 to 1945, when the Japanese occupation of Taiwan ended. Much of the works from the pre-Japanese era were by traders and foreign missionaries.

Chang Tsai (張 才), Deng Nan-guang (鄧南光) and Lee Ming-diao (李鳴 鵰) are collectively known as the " three swordsmen " and are some of the best-known Taiwanese photographers who were active from 1930 to 1950 . Modern Taiwanese photography is deeply marked by the nationalist government that took possession of Taiwan in 1945.

Photographers International is one of Taiwan's leading photography magazines. The magazine presents important photographers such as Chang Yung-Chieh (張詠捷), Wu Chung-Wei (吳忠維), Hsieh Chun-Teh, (謝春德), Ho Ching-Tai (何經泰), Chuang Ling (莊 靈), Liu Chen- Shan (劉振祥) and the editor Juan I-Jong (阮義忠) themselves in a documentary series entitled "Taiwan Vision".

Another well-known Taiwanese photographer is Chien-Chi Chang (張 乾 琦), a member of the Magnum Photos Agency.
