Q. How do you feel when you are taking photos?
A. When I press the shutter, it's often because I feel something emotional, like "It's cute! It's beautiful! I like it!"
At that moment, I feel happy.
Q. Have you felt that the way you view everyday life has changed since you started taking photos?
Spending time with children in their everyday lives through the lens of a camera allows you to feel like you are taking a step back.
I began to find every appearance adorable and to think that everyday life was a good time.
Q. Please tell us about your favorite locations for shooting and your favorite times of day to take photos.
I love the lush greenery of the nearby rice paddy paths and riverbanks, and I especially like the evening hours. The light is so beautiful that it makes taking photos a fun experience.
I also like the light that shines into the house.
Q. What camera and lens are you currently using?
When shooting with filters, I often use the FE35mmF1.4ZA with the SONY α7iii.
I also have 50 and 85mm lenses.
I am also using the opf550s with the FUJIFILM x-t5 I recently purchased, and the lens I am using is the XF23mmF1.4R LM WR.
Q. What is your favorite TOKYO GRAPHER product and what feeling or change its filter gives you?
I particularly like the opf550s and use it all the time with a 35mm lens.
The greens and blues are captured beautifully and the light blends, giving the photo more color and lingering impact than if it were taken without a filter.
It makes me want to take more photos.
Q. Is there any element in your photos that would make people feel like you are part of them?
I like taking photos of children, capturing their expressions and behavior, so I would be happy if you could take a look at those photos, as well as the photos of Green.
