Photographer Statement

I am frequently inspired by music, hence I live with touching tunes day and night.  While listening images appear and disappear one by one as if, for instance, 24 pieces of music from a record come and go.  I am creating the photo book of the mild coherence as a whole though each of the pictures doesn’t seem to be related concretely. 

To take many of my photographs I usually make sketches beforehand.  I draw things I see, invisible images that are existing inside me, or scenes in memory.  I choose what is associated with me in various ways as the subject of the pictures.  I shoot the photographs while being amused and appreciating the mysterious wonder that I am related to the subjects or sometimes I even have fortune that they belong to me.  I try to shoot them somewhat holding back my excess passion I have when I take the pictures.  In addition to the visual stories, my photographs have verbal stories as well. 

My works are based on the calm and quiet everyday life.  I think private life is more valued now.  It would be my pleasure if my photographs will enter the individual chambers to amuse viewers who might need them.
