一名平面設計師苦惱於找不到滿意的照片素材，於是拿起相機親自上陣， 且看他如何從素人自拍進化為替Apple、LandRover、Audi、Cartier等國際知名品牌操刀的專業攝影師，其關鍵在於每一張「有故事」的照片…… 照片，可以說故事，只要你知道如何敘事（人物、地點、事件） 有故事的照片（結構、主題、氣氛、簡約），可以感動人心，只要你懂得拍攝技巧， 不必花重金添購高檔相機，也不用另外報名任何攝影課程， 僅需一台數位相機或人人都有的智慧型手機，以及上網功能， 即可拍出讓你的IG追蹤人數暴增的精采作品！ 此外，隨著網紅行銷的浪潮興起， 為品牌量身打造內容以便於在IG等各大媒體平台曝光， 這種商業行銷手法尤其實用。 直接在影像中置入商品省事又容易，但毫無創意； 根據商品特質發展出貼切的故事， 並在宣傳時為受眾帶來愉悅的心情，才是最理想的作法。 IG 部落客教你用照片說故事，掌握 5 步驟，你也可以成為很會說故事的攝影師。 1. 完美提案。與大客戶建立合作關係。精通談判的藝術。 2. 預先準備。製作情緒板、備妥通告單、拍攝前勘景，穩健地邁向成功。 3. 從容拍攝。依步驟完成數位單眼的專案演練及智慧型手機的拍攝練習，在任何類型的攝影中靈活應用。 4. 妥善編輯。在情節和重要技巧的加持下，使照片獨樹一格。 5. 定稿交件。以故事突顯內涵，在客戶心中留下深刻感受。 如何讓人記住一幅圖像或攝影師的作品？ 關鍵在於影像所要述說的故事； 故事才是影響力的真正來源。 從童話到傳奇，乃至宗教文本和政治宣傳品， 全都是透過故事吸引大眾的注意力並激起情緒， 這麼一來，其背後隱含的訊息才能永久傳遞。 本書旨在引導你不斷嘗試和測試，將故事置於核心位置，協助你創作雋永的攝影作品， 也就是美國新聞攝影師朵洛西亞．朗格（Dorothea Lange）口中的「值得反覆品味的照片」（second looker）。 業界競相爭取合作的攝影師，其攝影作品的質感與某些好萊塢電影的設計和美感不相上下。 ──《赫芬頓郵報》 如果你想走出IG成為貨真價實的專業攝影師，你可得認真看待芬恩在這本攝影教學書中分享的想法、祕訣和思維。 ──@alexstrohl

種「必須使用它或失去它」的情況，你必須使用所製造的能量，如此一來才能製造更多能量。換句話說，運動對粒線體的健康也很重要。運動和飲食這兩個自我照護因素，將在第六章和第八章進行更詳細的解說。 那些不健康的粒線體，不僅會產生更少的能量，也會導致不良的健康狀況。例如，如果你總是吃垃圾食物又不運動，粒線體就會造成體內出現過多的自由基（free radicals），進而損害你的細胞。就像反應爐核心熔毀會洩漏輻射並摧毀發電廠一樣，自由基傷害（free radical damage）可以殺死那些洩漏它們的粒線體。換句話說，大吃垃圾食物和不運動，將會使粒線體停工並破壞它們所在的細胞。這種對粒線體和細胞的傷害，代表你會失去精力、感到昏昏欲睡、無法清晰思考，甚至可能變得憂鬱。這就是山姆看起來比泰勒大十歲，並且精力和動力少很多的原因之一。 粒線體的使用期限，通常是幾天到幾週。粒線體需要循環利用，才能使健康的粒線體運作良好，並且除去那些不健康的粒線體。人體內有兩種主要的循環方式：「粒線體自噬」（mitophagy，殺死舊的和受損的粒線體）和「生合成」（biogenesis，新粒線體的誕生）。這些循環方式可以確保殺死那些表現不佳（不再強大）的粒線體，而「運動」有助於促進這種關鍵的循環功能。當舊的和受損的粒線體被移除時，就會有空間讓健康的粒線體茁壯成長，並讓新的粒線體誕生。然而，如果你患有慢性病，這種循環過程就無法有效地運作，功能低下的粒線體會流出自由基，進而加速了對腦細胞的損害。 如果你像山姆一樣，不運動又吃下太多錯誤的食物，例如高熱量、單一碳水化合物和有害的油脂，這種循環運作也會崩潰。因為暴飲暴食會拉長虛弱粒線體的半衰期，使它們保持聚集在一起。這些虛弱又低效率的粒線體，還會因為你沒有運動，更難被粒線體自噬作用殺死。因此，與健康的粒線體相比，虛弱粒線體產生較少的三磷酸腺苷和較多的自由基。 腦細胞需要大量的三磷酸腺苷來滿足其能量的需求，但脂肪細胞並不需要，而且脂肪細胞會加重新陳代謝的負擔。如果你身上有額外的脂肪細胞，尤其是身體質量指數（BMI）超過三十，那麼能量的生產量將會減少，腦細胞中健康的粒線體細胞之數量也會減少。更糟的是，超重會導致代謝失調、慢性發炎，甚至腦萎縮。這表示，當你的脂肪細胞增加時，腦細胞就會減少。最容易受到損傷和萎縮的大腦區域，是前額葉皮質與海馬迴。這種傷害會導致你在做
