  He is an American photographer who uses multiple exposures in portrait photography to create beautiful worldviews. His series of works contain stories that capture our interest when we see them.  The image on the top left is one of the photos that inspired me. The photo itself is simple and easy to post-production. But there is something attractive about it. When I thought about what it was, I thought it was a way of directing the viewer's perspective. This photo gets smaller as you move towards the middle. Therefore, the viewer's perspective moves towards the center and focuses on the face in the center. I applied this to create a work. In this photo, the photos get smaller as you move to the bottom left, and the largest and smallest ones are colored, while the others are monochrome. This leads the viewer's eye to the large face (top right) first, and then gradually foczuses on the image on the bottom left. Since the colored parts tend to attract attention, I created t...

      She is a photographer who specializes in portraits. As a photographer for a music magazine, she took many rock stars portrait. She later worked for fashion magazines, taking many portraits.　      The photo above is a photo of Demi Moore that she took. When I researched this photo, I found that there was no precedent for a nude pregnant woman being used in a fashion magazine, and it shocked people, for better or worse. However, I thought this photo was beautiful. I learned that it is precisely because it is unprecedented that it can shock those who see it.      This photo was taken by her of Queen Elizabeth II. What struck me about this photo was the composition. The rule of thirds was used in this photo, which I felt was comforting to look at. I also thought the use of light was clever. In this photo, the room was a little dark, and the light coming in from the window illuminated her facez , naturally drawing the eye to her face.  ...

  He is a photographer who has garnered attention for his self-portrait photographs of his own mental health experiences and aims to visually share emotions that words cannot explain. I was actually attracted to his photographs when I saw them. I feel a sense of solitude in many of his works. I thought from his picture that his technique was good such as his use of shadows, light, and reflections. In the photo above, I think he fixed the camera with a tripod and shot at a slow shutter speed, the person was blurred, and as a result, I could not read the person clearly, which led to a sense of uneasiness. Next is this picture. This photo changed the way I think about portraiture. By putting the cracks over the face where people pay the most attention, we don't get as clear an image as with the photo I talked about before. From there we get negative emotions such as loneliness and anxiety. This photo was the most shocking and also the most inspirational. The inspiration I got from thi...

 "An analog photographer in the field, unsure whether the pictures on the undeveloped film are any good, who pushes herself to take more, possibly better photographs, is working in a more instinctive, exploratory, and probably more "present" way than the digital photographer who sees the results immediately and right away decides whether to reshoot or not influenced by the initial results. The image mediates the experience in the field. As photographer Paolo Woods told the New York Times about the digital: "You tend to be satisfied a lot more quickly but when you're shooting with film, you never know what you've got, and you push on and eventually it's the last image that's the good one." " I deeply agree with this quote. When I take pictures with a film camera, I do not know what kind of picture I will get until the film is developed, so I adjust all settings carefully and take each picture. When I take a picture with a digital camera, I t...
