Nago City Award: Interview with Saiteki-san

 

Acceptance Speech

Thank you very much for giving me this wonderful opportunity. First and foremost, I am filled with gratitude toward my boss and senior colleagues, who have always been by my side. I am also deeply grateful to everyone at the venue who supported me every day.

 

About the Award-Winning Works

I’ve always loved movies, and sometimes when I’m taking photos, I shoot while keeping cinematic framing in mind. This shot, too, is a finished piece that I created by considering the time of day, the subjects’ positioning, a cinematic aspect ratio (1920×1080), and the inclusion of a touch of green.

 

What Led Me to Become a Photographer and Videographer

I’ve been a member of the photography department since college, and I truly love taking photos. I enjoy taking snapshots of Tokyo from time to time, as well as while traveling abroad, and that’s what inspired me to want to become a photographer after graduation.

 

Future Activities

Although I have already left Okinawa, I intend to stay true to my original aspirations, constantly strive to take better photos and videos, and aim to create works of even higher quality.
