Taiwan Through the Lens of Tobie Openshaw
歐陽峰 - 來自南非的攝影師藉著他深情的鏡頭來探索/紀錄台灣
人客來坐 My Taiwan Story
Tobie Openshaw is a documentary filmmaker/photographer/anthropology researcher based in Taiwan for over 25 years. His work has been seen on channels such as National Geographic, Discovery, and the BBC. Over the last two decades, Tobie was able to document and capture different aspects of Taiwan culture including the betel nut girl culture (what started it all), the Sunflower Movement, human rights and Indigenous rights.
Tobie Openshaw - Documentary filmmaker and anthropology researcher - moved to Taiwan from South Africa over two decades ago. I couldn’t have picked a better guest to come to our show to share his Taiwan experience with our listeners.
南非紀錄片導演歐陽峰 Tobie Openshaw 專門採訪那些台灣不尋常,不被人們所注意到的故事像是檳榔西施、原住民族部落內的日常到學運,都在他的題材範疇之中。Tobie 的攝影充滿故事,因爲他很用心的在用他的攝影詮釋台灣的角度,讓世界看到台灣真實的一面。有時候光收集一個題材的内容就花了幾年的時間,主要就是因爲 Tobie 他堅持耐心地去真正深入瞭解這個題材/文化/人物。只有這樣才能真正呈現真實的台灣。
