BIOGRAPHY

John&Fish is one of the most popular ornithology photography teams on the renowned photo site flickr. Their photography career started in 2006 and joined flickr in 2007. Their album has reached over a million clicks in just over two years. John and Fish wants to share the beautiful nature in Taiwan with the world, and part of their work has been inspired by reactions given by the online feedbacks.

John and Fish are brother and sister, and have been living and working together for over 20 years; and discover life with a common belief in Buddhism. John founded arcaré Corp., a software technology company providing a development platform for Knowledge Economy. This technology platform that allows companies to obtain application software by simply define knowledge will efficiently create more knowledge-related jobs in the economy. Proper performance of knowledge will also lead the whole industry conduct the economy, and improve environment-protecting actions. Fish has been assisting John throughout the whole time until they occasionally spotted fascinating photographs of birds. The photos not only amazed them by beauty of birds in Taiwan, but also awake them to their love to the nature; they decided to start photographing as a balance pole to their bodies and minds right away.

From the very beginning, John&Fish takes photographs from an artistic perspective. But John's diverse education adds richness and depth to their photographs. His extensive training in music and the arts have given him the discipline and focus necessary to capture birds in the wild. Each photograph looks like a painting. Its meaning is different for each person, but their ultimate hope is to inspire people to see the world in a different way. In creating a dialog with the viewer, his mind as an artist is enriched and the process becomes a creative cycle.

To capture birds' images, John and Fish often have to drive a long way to destinations; therefore, Fish plays an important role on this team. On the other hand, Fish's good hearing helps John find targets more easily; while discussing the works, Fish is the first person John talks to. Now, John&Fish Studio is organized, John focuses on photographing, and Fish takes care of all the other matters.

Global warming has become more serious day after day; the only way to solve this problem is to decrease damage to the eco environment to enable our planet take a break. John&Fish expect to produce more and better photographs, and remind the viewers with the most beautiful and amusing figures of the idea that if we hope to keep them and their habitats alive, we have to protect the nature. This is not only for birds' own good, but also tends to extend the breath of human kind.
