■ Comments on the award

Thank you very much for this excellent award!
Thanks to everyone who voted, we were able to achieve such a result.
I also sincerely thank the seniors who have taught me so much every day.
I intend to cherish the expressions that only I can create, and deliver videos that will leave a lasting impression.

■ About the winning works

This was a work that allowed me to express myself in my favorite style, so I am very happy to have won this award.
During the photo shoot, the natural expressions of the two of them and the relaxed flow of time were very impressive.
I took photos and edited the video so that the atmosphere of the moment would be conveyed to those watching as well.

■ Why I became a photographer

It was when I made a video compiling my memories from my high school years before graduation that I first realized the fun of video.
Also, during my university years, I would upload travel vlogs to social media and create “thank you videos” for my seniors in my circle, giving me the opportunity to show my footage to many people at the venue.
From the smiles and words at that time, I felt the joy of the moment when the video reached someone’s heart, and I decided to become a creator.

■ Future goals

In my wedding photography, I want to continue creating works that only I can express. Also, since I love listening to music, I want to try other genres as well, such as festivals and events, where I can capture the smiles and enthusiasm of many people through my photography. I want to shoot more of my favorite genres and expand my creative horizons!
