Acceptance Speech

I am deeply honored to have received such a prestigious award.
I’ve submitted my work every year, but I was truly surprised when I was told that I had won the Grand Prize this time.
I would like to once again express my gratitude to everyone involved in this award.
 

About the Award-Winning Works

The simultaneous fireworks display during the party—there’s no second chance; it’s a one-shot deal.
I still remember how nervous I was right up until the fireworks started, but as soon as they began, both the crowd and I got so excited that I found myself snapping photos without even thinking. I think I managed to capture the perfect moment.
 

What Led Me to Become a Photographer and Videographer

I discovered the joy of photography through a class I took in college, and that led me to pursue a career in the photography industry after graduation. • Regarding my future plans: Okinawa is a truly charming island. I hope to showcase its appeal through my wedding photography, in the hope that it will inspire even those who have never been to Okinawa to visit, even if just for a short time.
