王志偉校友 推《時代的臉》攝影展 展出33年的人物肖像精選 Alumnus Franco Wang Presents “Faces of the Era” Photography Exhibition, Showcasing 33 Years of Portraits

銘傳大學大眾傳播學系第一屆校友王志偉，常年穿梭在展演廳，橫跨藝文、影視領域的攝影家，拍攝表演藝術33年，11/2-9在窩著咖啡Perch café舉辦《Faces of the Era時代的臉》攝影展，動人登場。

王志偉校友表示，此攝影展紀錄自己超過三十年的時光，對於肖像攝影的學習思考及實務驗證的呈現。119件作品翩然上展，有國寶級布袋戲藝師李天祿、作曲家李泰祥、舞蹈家羅曼菲、綜藝教父王偉忠、表演工作坊藝術總監賴聲川、屏風表演班藝術總監李國修、春河劇團團長暨藝術總監郎祖筠、如果兒童劇團團長趙自強，導演吳念真、嚴藝文，國內外知名演員林美秀、連俞涵、蒼井優等。王志偉進一步說明，裡面紀錄許多名人高光時刻，也有他們的假面與奢華，隨性與固執，這些作品，都是我們生命交集的切片。

王偉忠在《Cross貳拾伍。》攝影集書序中，提到2008年彩排《寶島一村》時，觀察到王志偉是位「懂得隱藏在人群中的攝影師，他總是默默的觀察、默默的紀錄，在不知不覺的情況下，捕捉許多幕前幕後瞬間即逝的精采畫面。」藝人在他的鏡頭前是放鬆、自在。

小時不善於唸書的王志偉分享為何愛拍人像？「專科住校後，我的懂禮貌卻成為少數流氓同學霸凌對象。在加入攝影社後找到同儕溫暖，並在學習攝影過程中，無縫的將這些成長中的負能量，藉由攝影轉化成某種正向學習，躲在相機後面觀察人群並紀錄他們，相機成為了我最安全的護盾及與世界溝通、傳達情感的方式。」

王志偉銘傳畢業後，續於英國伯明罕藝術暨設計學院視覺傳播所取得攝影碩士，現為Francoland Studio專業攝影師，於國立台灣藝術大學圖文傳播學系兼任講師，曾服務於壹週刊、大成報。作品《天作優伶》獲1994台北攝影節新人獎第一名，《毀滅》獲攝影創作獎藝術攝影組Leica特別獎；《假如畢卡索使用了哈蘇相機而不是畫筆，一個女人及她的男人》獲哈蘇相機1998國際攝影比賽台灣地區首獎，全球第四。

MCU’s first graduate from the Department of Mass Communication, alumnus and veteran photographer Franco Wang, whose work spans the performing arts and entertainment sectors, will unveil his Faces of the Era photography exhibition from November 2-9 at Perch Café. The exhibit features captivating portraits from his 33-year career in performance art photography.

Wang shares that this exhibition encapsulates his three decades of growth, learning, and practical exploration in portrait photography. The display of 119 works includes portraits of revered figures like glove puppetry master Lee Tien-lu, composer Lee Tai-hsiang, dancer Lo Man-fei, TV personality Franco Wang, Performance Workshop artistic director Stan Lai, Stage Master Theater founder Lee Kuo-hsiu, Spring River Theater’s artistic director Long Ching-yun, If Kids Theater Company director Chao Tzu-chiang, and directors Wu Nien-jen and Yen Yi-wen, as well as celebrated actors Lin Mei-hsiu, Lien Yu-han and Aoi Yuu. Wang explains that these images reveal the highlight moments of these individuals, their masks, grandeur, spontaneity and determination, reflecting glimpses of their lives intersecting with his own.

In the foreword to Wang’s Cross Twenty-Five photo album, Franco Wang describes him as a photographer who “understands how to blend into the crowd, observing and capturing moments with subtlety”. This observation dates back to 2008, during rehearsals for Village of Formosa, where he noted Wang’s ability to capture both onstage and offstage moments with unguarded spontaneity.

Wang shares that his passion for portraiture stems from his experiences in youth, noting that he wasn’t a studious child. “In boarding school, my politeness made me a target for bullying by a few troublesome students. I found camaraderie in the photography club, and channeling my negative experiences into learning photography gave me a positive outlet. Observing people through a lens became a way to feel safe and communicate with the world.”

After graduating from MCU, Wang went on to earn a Master’s degree in Photography from Birmingham Institute of Art and Design in the UK. Currently, he is a professional photographer at Francoland Studio and a lecturer in Graphic Communication at the National Taiwan University of Arts, with past roles at Next Magazine and China Times. Wang’s work has earned him multiple accolades, including the New Photographer Award at the 1994 Taipei Photography Festival for Heavenly Actor, the Leica Special Prize in the Art Photography category, and the Taiwan region’s first prize in the 1998 Hasselblad International Photography Competition.
