迷失冰島 我們再來一次
在講Mark的冰島故事之前，讓我們先來講講Mark自己的故事。
Let us get to know Mark a bit more before we dive into Mark』s adventure in Iceland.
Mark有一個非常有趣的成長故事。出生在北京的他從小就是個調皮搗蛋的trouble maker，在學校常常因為「不遵守規矩」而受到懲罰。為了擁有一個更寬鬆自由的成長空間，父母把Mark送去了美國學習。讓人意想不到的是，Mark為了鍛煉自己的意志，克服自己的隨性，後來索性選擇加入了美國陸軍。在這裡Mark接觸並愛上了攝影。他期望這種嚴格的部隊生活可以改變他從小缺乏的性格。
Born in Beijing, Mark was always a troublemaker in school while growing up. His family decided to immigrate to the US where his parents thought the relaxed environment would better suit him. Ironically it was Mike』s desire for structure and a sense of purpose that led him to join the US Army, hoping that the daily regimen and discipline would build character.
Mark如今的攝影風格就得益於他這種自由x自律的雙重性格。
It is this duality offreedom and structurethat would define the photographer he is today.
從北京到美國，從美國陸軍到攝影師，從新聞拍攝到時尚廣告拍攝，Mark經歷了許多嘗試。每次過渡和探索都充滿了喜悅，Mark將這份從生活到職業的積累統統融入按下快門的每個時刻。雖然有些影像看起來遙遠而奇特，不變的是鏡頭下串聯了人與人的故事。
Mark』s photographsare similar to his life experience, it is diverse and constantly evolving, which has taken him from photojournalism to fashion to advertising. While some images seem far flung and exotic, it』s still grounded in the human story and connections.
好了故事回到冰島，Amanacliq的特約攝影師Mark和他的團隊最近完成了計劃已久的冰島之行。回想這趟旅程，Mark總結說這次攝影出乎意料地不順利！
When Mark thinks back on this particular trip to Iceland that he and his friends have been looking forward to, he could only sum it up as unexpectedly disasteous.
你能想像得到的所有旅途中的不幸，Mark統統都經歷了。
Any misfortunate event one could think of, Mark experienced it all.
抵達冰島之前，Mark也構想了一些在拍攝途中因為天氣情況而可能發生的問題。但比預期更糟糕的是，初到冰島一連4天都經歷了非常糟糕的天氣。
The weather inIceland was a huge disappointment. Four days of bad weather in which totally destroyed his shooting plan.
短短几天的探險，冰島就展現了自己的廣袤多變的萬千生態，靜謐而又熱烈。
After a couple days, Iceland showed its richness of landscape, quiet yet profound.
冰島的美，容易讓人看到永恆。青苔與裸露的岩石，冰川與暗藏洶湧的火山，湖泊與層巒起伏的山脈，在Mark的鏡頭裡，我們感受到了世界盡頭的凜冽和溫存。
The timeless beauty of Iceland lays in the moss, the rock , the glacier and the volcanic landscape. Through Mark』s eyes we travel to the end of the world and embrace the roughness and the softness of this exotic world.
每一張照片都專屬一段特殊的記憶。
Each photo has a special memory attached to their creation.
冰島之行最打動Mark的時刻，是經歷了這麼多不可預測之後，在這個本看不到極光的季節看到了至美的極光。就像是，走在黑暗的隧道裡頭，忽然間，見到了出口的光。
After so many ups and downs, Mark and his team were finally rewarded by the unexpected northern lights dancing before their eyes!It』s like seeing the light at the end of a dark tunnel.
Mark的作品風格就像他的生活一樣，是一個不斷變化，不斷增長的旅程。和其他的藝術形式一樣，攝影是一種不同背景的體驗的積累，所以一定要保持探索精神，不斷嘗試新的可能性。當你勇敢去體驗每一種新鮮感，攝影創作就不再是一種負擔，而是生活的延伸。
Like other creative art forms, photography is the accumulation of experiences and different backgrounds. To that end, Mark is constantly learning, exploring, and trying new things.In turn, this helps keep his photos fresh and make work feel less like a burden and more as an extension of life.
