Yes, I have. I always have been attracted by beautiful things, such as the moonlight, sundown, and fresh green field since I was a little child. I was also very interested in a job which requires technique, and taste. I watched a movie about a female photographer when I was 6. And I was quite sure I dreamed of being a photographer in the future.

I used to be a web designer. Currently I do not work, and I want to be a photographer now. But I am always shooting some photos, and looking for opportunities.

It is the tool to show the others the content with minimal words, and tremendous outlook.

Photography project which requires photo retouching to add some flavor to the work.

Isolating the subject from background to replace the plain background.

I consider the bad opinion first. I love my work and that is why I show them on public. I would like to know why the other people has different opinion.

I think I have to bring happiness , sadness, or any other emotion as a message to the people when they see my works. Otherwise my work is just for myself, and it affects only me.

AI technology is developed so fast. But I think creating and designing is still the work for people.

I love the tone of Japanese style. I keep the color of traditional Japanese artwork in my mind.

I live in Japan. I always am inspired by the environment, and the history of my country. Pros is I love my country, and foods in Japan are great. Cons is I would like to explore the world to get inspired more.

I do not have to take my daughter to the photo studio.That is a good thing. Bad thing is my eyes get exhausted.

Design is not just for me but most importantly it is for the other people.

I am not allowed to say the clients name on public. But they were the one of the biggest drink manufacture and ad agency, in Japan.

Photography project which requires the photo manipulation. Because I feel I am drawing when I retouch the photos.

I learned Photojournalism at University of Central Oklahoma, and graduated at 2001. I moved back to Japan to be a photographer, but I could not find any opportunities. But I was very interested in web design at that time. So I studied design by myself. And I got a job as a web-designer. I moved several offices to challenge myself on higher level. I was still taking pictures for myself for those years. After few years later, I figured out that design, art, and photography are all connected. And now I want to be a photographer.

I love to create something like, photography, art, and illustration. I feel great when something I made moved someone else’s heart.

I would like to take a picture, and retouch them. I am interested in photography project which involves graphic design, illustration, and magazine.

Good designer can finish her work. Great designer can impressive the people.

I think good design is able to reach the people whom it wants to take some attention from.

I would like to work for someone who wants me to work as a photographer and retoucher.

I visit museum, and get inspired from the greatest artist for centuries.
