About

衛子揚 Tz Yang Wei cinematographer portrait Taiwan

衛子揚時間是一種創作資源;我以節奏作為影像的核心結構,透過對時間的掌握,為畫面留下餘裕,也為團隊創造穩定而有效率的合作狀態。畢業於世新大學廣電系,曾入選第10屆金馬學院攝影學員,並參與2024金馬海外工作坊——美國攝影師協會 ASC Master Class。作品曾於 Berlin International Film Festival、Busan International Film Festival、Tampere Film Festival 等國際影展放映,並獲獎肯定。擅長貼近角色的情緒脈動,從表演與空間出發,尋找屬於他們的光線與構圖;在影像中建立其存在的世界,使觀者不只是觀看事件,而是感受到時間的推移與身體的呼吸。在前置規劃與現場即興之間維持開放的平衡,讓光線不只是照明,而成為情緒與敘事的一部分;在不同類型的作品中持續調整方法,但始終圍繞「節奏」與「感受」作為影像的核心。偏好具有情緒密度與時間感的敘事作品,並持續在寫實與風格化之間尋找影像的張力。

Tz-Yang Wei|Taiwanese CinematographerTz Yang Wei is a cinematographer working across narrative features, shorts, and series.He approaches cinematography through rhythm as a core structure. For him, time is not only a resource to manage, but something to shape—through pacing, duration, and the space between images. This allows the frame to holds tension and release, while maintaining a grounded and fluid working dynamic on set.He graduated from Shih Hsin University (Radio, Television and Film), and was selected for the 10th Golden Horse Film Academy as well as the 2024 Golden Horse Overseas Workshop — ASC Master Class. His works have been presented and awarded at international festivals including Berlin International Film Festival, Busan International Film Festival, and Tampere Film Festival.His work often begins with the relationship between character and space. Through light and composition, he looks for where emotion settles—building a world that holds the character, and inviting the viewer to sense time not only as narrative, but as a physical experience.He maintain an open balance between planning and spontaneity on set. Light is not treated as illumination alone, but as part of the emotional and narrative structure. Across different genres, he continues to adjust his approach while staying rooted in rhythm and perception.He is drawn to stories with a strong sense of time and emotional density, and to the tension between realism and stylization.
