- Please tell us your impressions saw the photo exhibition.
It was a chance to rethink the existence of the "hero". In this time and the now, I'm completely different implications of the word hero. For example, although the bat of Sadaharu O There was a photo taken of the moment to catch the ball, "Oh, this person is really era Do not I was the hero of" when I saw it I thought anew me. So, right now, you are a hero, such as comparable to the king's I'm not be someone with the matter are Once ── answer. Ichiro? Nakata? It a little different. If geared to football, only, Kazu's just might be a little closer. In the even of Japan representative game now, wearing a uniform that says "11 KAZU", I think you have many supporters who thinks seriously and "Come back." Although around that I feel the star power to call a hero, but after all, different from the king's.
- What would be that has become the star it is hard born by now.
Maybe so. To do this, it may be related is that it is no longer the era become a hero only in a single story. Maybe you became a home run king continues to pretend the bat's king until the tatami is abraded, Yasuhiro Yamashita of judo Maybe it won the gold medal won in Rashuwan in the state of wounded, reportedly success story by steady effort and guts but it is not got to be a hero is. But in now, whether such because there is largely due to the effect of the media, not be a hero be presented to one of the story. Instead, the so-called celebrities Will has increased considerably compared to the old days, but I feel that the also the boundary between the celebrity and national star has become ambiguous.
- Or the point of view as a photographer, you have what impressions.
Speaking Technically, the sensitivity is low age of the film, only of a moving subject has been well represented in it, I thought it was amazing tricks. Indeed Naa's photographer who represent the era. Any photographs, there is a tremendous presence, it was a role model composition of the cavalcade of. Nakaniwa, but photos that felt "there? Myself of taking photos and to Do Similar" and there were some, I'm sure, also there will be the surface undergoing unconsciously influence from old photos.
- Did you have work that seems want to take this kind of photo.
From the eyes down pat of the portrait, and Do a photo interesting as took hid everyday gestures and facial expressions, I was think again. And from my personality, for example, a place Kosei Inoue judo than the scene that are willing to set a gold medal in the Olympic podium, which in close contact with the practice and private life of Inoue, struggling suffering in order to become stronger I'm want to take. Back instead of a table. Only in such a place, I think the people of the truth has appeared.
