自然攝影藝術
自然界提供了一個不斷變化的領域,讓人類去探索和發現。這個領域廣闊無邊,豐富多樣,強大而又美麗。這個壯觀的領域早期是通過敘事性繪畫和藝術家對身臨其境的經驗的詮釋來展現的。正是這些繪畫給大眾留下的印象激發了探險的新夢想,鼓勵了科學研究。
今天,照片可具有同畫筆一樣的影響力,同時還能把主題及其環境表現得更為準確。然而,每幅作品的成功與否,仍然取決於有無創意。
李天文拍攝野生動物已超過六年,經驗豐富,眼光獨到。雖然時間不算長,但他卻獲得了許多攝影師畢生夢寐以求的讚譽。他把藝術作品與科學文獻融為一體,以其獨有的能力捕捉動物行為的隱秘瞬間。
李天文是2013年Windland Smith Rice國際最佳自然攝影大獎得主,他的獲獎作品現正在美國華盛頓史密森尼國立自然史博物館的自然攝影20年回顧展中展出。
由於從事出版業,我看過的照片可謂不計其數,但李天文的作品卻能瞬間就引起我的注意。目前在世界各地的書籍﹑雜誌和多媒體展覽中都能看到他的作品,它們反映了他對大自然及其孕育的野生動物的深深敬意。他的照片幅幅皆有故事,能重新激起我們對自然界的熱愛,並提醒我們去保護它。
在香港科技大學舉辦的本次展覽,表現了李天文與其攝影主題之間的聯繫,以及每幅照片背後的重要訊息。李天文曾告訴我︰「我想喚醒人們對野生動物的同情和憐憫,並像我那樣享受大自然。」我相信他的目標已經達到,而他對所有野生動物的熱情,會激勵他完成更多的探險旅程,創作更多的新影像供我們大家欣賞。

2013年,華人攝影師李天文的作品從來自50個國家的25,000件參賽作品中脫穎而出,榮獲 Windland Smith Rice 國際最佳自然攝影大獎。他的作品 “猛撲的熊” 曾於2014年11月至2015年4月在美國華盛頓史密森尼國立自然史博物館展出,2015年10月起還會再次在該博物館的一個特別展覽中展出。這幅照片曾被製成30呎長的條幅懸掛在博物館的入口處,更被用於2015年史密森尼展覽日曆的封面。他曾贏得北美自然攝影協會(NANPA)十佳作品獎,其作品 “魚與熊掌” 還被選作年度NANPA大賽雜誌《Expressions》的封面。此外,他還得過許多其它獎項,他的作品曾發表於多份雜誌和報紙。他經常獲邀演講及擔任多個攝影協會和國際賽事的評審。
他小時候常與父母去遠足,探索香港的山野,並逐漸產生了對動物的熱愛,他會把在探索頻道和香港動植物公園看到的動物繪畫出來。
在香港皇仁書院完成中六課程之後,李天文獲得了加州大學洛杉磯分校李汝寬基金全額獎學金,從而開始了他的美國之旅,迄今為止,在那裏已經生活了二十個年頭。
憑著對野生動物的熱愛和好奇心,以及在攻讀博士學位時在生物醫學工程成像和影像處理專業所受的科學訓練,他把工作中所用的技術與創意結合起來, 用以捕捉那些既有藝術性又前所未見的影像。例如,他擅長用高速和微光數碼攝影技術加上最專業的雜訊處理技術來捕捉自然界稍縱即逝和神秘的瞬間,特別是動物之間表達愛意的互動。
自從六年前,經由攝影重新發現了自己對野生動物的熱愛之後,李天文在拍攝和探索野外 — 特別是阿拉斯加人跡罕至的地區 — 的過程中獲得了無比的快樂。
目前,他居住在加州的千橡市,在一家生物技術公司管理醫學影像數據中心。
