“You’re running. I’m waiting with Dumbo ears.”
Lots of food on a large table. How good it tastes may depend on how it’s placed or how it’s eaten. There’s so much I can’t eat it all. Not only that, the room is too warm. So, what should I do? In my case, while in a state of confusion, I simply give some away or display ut. It seems that rather than eating a meal, I’ve been putting together a strange puzzle. This kind of uncontrollable situation seems very picturesque to me, and it’s something I’m really interested in now. I hope New Cosmos of Photography will be a venue for creators who don’t have access to media yet. There are many competitions for commercial and journalistic photos, but there still aren’t many for a wide range of content like this. I hope and anticipate that future creators will continue to have this opportunity. As recipient of this is the award in the first year, I am very honored.

Although each shot has a different image, the atmosphere is consistent, and the presence of an inner world can be felt. Not too hot, not too cold, the distance from the subject is clearly captured. I is also very good in terms of tecnique. I can feel the connection between each photo, and the story is ambiguous and loaded with mystery. A mysterious aspect is important.
