用镜头留住那些逐渐淡去的记忆与传统

Cameron Hack

受到摄影项目《纽约的人（Humans of New York）》的启发，现居北京的英国摄影师兼教师 Cameron Hack 决定开启自己的《中国的人》系列。在这场演讲中，他将分享他近期的一些作品，聚焦少数民族讲述自己的真实故事。他提醒我们，要趁还来得及，多和长辈聊天，把那些珍贵的回忆记录下来。

Cameron Hack 出生并成长于英国，从小就热爱旅行。刚来中国工作时，他就被这个国家的多样与魅力深深吸引。通过他的副业《中国的人》，他正用一张张照片和背后的故事，一步步探索中国的丰富面貌。

受项目《胡同里的人》的启发，Cameron 决定创作属于自己的系列，为这些故事加入更多层次和细节。也正是在这个过程中，他意识到中国的多元与复杂：“也许我，甚至别人，永远无法真正理解所有的一切，但我想试试看！”

Taking photos of fading memories and traditions

Cameron Hack

Inspired by the photography project Humans of New York, Cameron Hack, a British photographer and teacher living in Beijing, China, decided to start his Humans of China project. In this talk, he takes us through some of his recent work, featuring minorities telling their stories. He reminds us that it’s important to talk with the older generation and record those memories before they are gone.

Born and raised in the UK, Cameron Hack was passionate about travelling from a very young age. When he started to work in China, he was in awe of what this country has to offer. Through a side project “Humans of China”, Cameron Hack is exploring the diversity of China, one picture (and a story) at a time.

Inspired by another project “Humans of Hutongs”, Cameron decided to start his own series, adding a new layer of stories and details. It is when working on this project that Cameron realized how diverse China is, “maybe myself or others will never really be able to comprehend all these, but I want to give it a go!”
