本文援引「王道式陽剛特質」的理論概念，論證性別如何深入攝影記者的實踐與互動，建構攝影記者的認同與文化。首先，脈絡化攝影記者的勞動現況後，本文論證攝影記者陽剛特質的建構，如何立基於主控他者的權力位置上。其次，藉由呈現鑲嵌於攝影記者人際互動中的陽剛特質，本文指出因為自身性別氣質無法打入此一人際網絡的男女攝影記者，如何錯失了各種資源，進而使得攝影記者勞動的高度陽剛面貌，變得更難以撼動。

In this article, I examine the process through which photojournalists in Taiwan construct masculinities in their daily practice. First, I highlight the ways in which conflicts and confrontations that photojournalists in Taiwan consistently face arise from the organization of their work. Next, by analyzing the accounts of Taiwanese photojournalists about work experiences, I demonstrate how these photojournalists manipulate and mobilize conflicts and confrontations in the labor process to establish their masculine identities and to bond with each other. In doing so, I illuminate how photojournalists strategize the dominant notions of masculinities to combat their inferior class status both within and outside newspaper agencies. In this vein, I argue that hegemonic notions of masculinities are central to understanding the work of photojournalists in Taiwan.
