Video of the Work: https://youtu.be/9cmSYeeVxjw

Photographer: Seira Nakazato

We poured our hearts into every single shot of this special day, capturing it in a way that’s so beautiful you’ll want to frame it—yet we made sure the photos look as natural as possible.

Rather than relying on staged poses or situations, I captured the two of them just as they were.

Interview with Seira Nakazato

Acceptance Speech

I'm honestly happy.
But personally, I'm not satisfied with it, so
We will continue to work hard.

 

About the Award-Winning Works

I think it turned out to be a great piece thanks to everyone who helped out that day.

 

What Inspired Me to Become a Photographer and Videographer

My career began when I directed a music video for a friend who was an artist while I was in college.

 

Future Activities

No matter how much equipment and technology advance in the future,
I don’t want to become the kind of videographer who lets the equipment do all the work; rather, I see equipment and technology strictly as tools that reflect what’s inside me. I want to approach my work with that mindset.
