在台灣的歷史影像河流裡,自1895年起歷時五十載的日本統治時期,是攝影術作為官方重要宣傳工具,進而開啟台灣本土寫真紀錄的一道高潮。其中,由日本政府機關及寫真館積極出版,用以展示台灣政經發展成果、引介島內地理風土與人種民俗的各式「寫真帖」,有如一股圖像涇流,沖刷出早期台灣的殖民社會地貌,成為帝國版的「看見台灣」。

《攝影之聲》長期關注亞洲的攝影發展歷程,重視亞際連結,並致力爬梳影像文獻,集結許多研究學者共同參與撰述,透過每期不同的主題視野,製作出豐富的專題與單元。同時,在引介新進創作者的「SHOUT特輯」系列,以多樣而不定型的表現,呈現年輕藝術家的作品與思索,成為一份份特別的當代視覺筆記;《攝影之聲》也投入整理藝術家的創作檔案與手稿,陸續推出藝術家專號,收錄許多第一手的藝術創作資料;近期並以「影言社」為名出版影像書寫評論,是台灣少數專注於攝影與視覺文化論述領域的獨立出版單位,曾多次獲頒台灣出版界最高榮譽「金鼎獎」獎項。
Voices of Photography is an independent publication dedicated to image culture. Since its inception in 2011, VOP has been exploring the creative concept, culture, history and philosophy behind photography by featuring photography works, interviews with artists, publishers, curators, art organizations and related professionals, and continually promoting imagery reading, critique, and the writing of photography history.
Paying close attention to the development of photography in Asia, VOP places special importance on inter-Asian connections. By combing through image literature and collating writings through collaborative effort with research scholars, VOP has presented rich and varied features and topics in every issue. At the same time, every issue of “SHOUT”, a series specially created to showcase the works and thoughts of emerging artists and presented in diverse formats, is a unique visual notebook of contemporary art. VOP is also working on putting together archives of creative works and manuscripts of artists, publishing them in special artist issues that feature never-seen-before works for the first time. Now engaging in the publication of written work and criticism through VOP BOOKS, VOP is one of the rare few independent publishers in Taiwan that focuses on photography and visual art, earning the Golden Tripod Awards, the highest honor in Taiwan’s publishing industry.
