Summer Snow (1995), In the Mood for Love (2000), Millennium Mambo (2001): Just three of the classic Chinese-language films shot by prolific Taiwanese cinematographer Mark Lee Ping-Bing. Lee’s grasp of the subtleties of color, light and shadow allows him to capture the details of life in a scene’s overall surroundings. His ability to create gorgeous compositions through a keen eye for the visual world has earned him the name, “The Poet of Light and Shadow”. Shot over three years and across many countries, this documentary takes a close look at Lee’s creative trajectory and his unique artistic vision. His meticulousness and consistent working practices have impressed all those directors he’s worked with. He is also tremendously generous in mentoring the industry’s newcomers. And behind the glamorous success, the unconditional support of Lee’s family has always been the source of his strength. “The world has become smaller, yet home has become more distant,” says Lee, conveying all too well the solitude felt from constantly being away from home and the longing to return.

《女人四十》（1995）、《花樣年華》（2000）、《千禧曼波》（2001）等華語電影，觀眾也許如數家珍，然而或許不知在經典背後，追趕浮光掠影的那雙眼睛。李屏賓，是臺灣著名的電影攝影師，圈內人稱他為「賓哥」。「不管是晴天還是雨天，天天都是好天」，對生活細節用心體會的他，總能順應自然捕捉風和人的脈動，凝結細緻光影創造視覺驚喜，被喻為「光影詩人」。 本片耗時三年拍攝，呈現李屏賓的創作軌跡與獨到的藝術視野，橫跨各地緊隨攝影師匆促來去的身影。在工作場合中，他嚴謹的態度和沈穩的節奏總能安定團隊，讓合作導演印象深刻。對於後輩的照顧與提攜也從不藏私，只要肯問，他就慷慨分享。而在輝煌生涯的背後，家人的默默守候成為他最堅強溫暖的後盾。「世界變小了，家卻變遠了！」面對長期離家的孤寂和渴望回家的掙扎，賓哥心中無以言說的虧欠，在導演細膩的紀錄下真情流露。
