■ Comments on the award

I am very pleased to receive this wonderful award this time.

■ About the winning works

The filming took place in a place I had never been before called Nandomaito Island, where I didn’t know anything about the place or the surroundings.
Despite this, we were fortunate with the weather, allowing us to shoot in locations that were not available for filming on the main island of Okinawa.
I feel that by combining it with a story-driven video that beautifully captures the sunset, we were able to create dramatic moments.

■ How I became a photo and video photographer

It all started when my father gave me a camera as a high school student.
At first, I loved taking photos of animals and landscapes, but in college I studied film and drama, learning about the process of making a drama.
I also took photos on trips with my friends from university, and realized that I could also take portraits of people, and I started to think about taking it seriously as a career.
I believe that we are where we are today because of the environment that allows us to take on many challenges.
