初期の作品まとめ

Summary of early works

初めて作品と呼んだ写真。

My very first work of photography.

初めて他人から裸を撮って欲しいと頼まれて撮ったもの。たくさん話をしてから、慣れないスタジオで撮影をしました。印象的な作品。

The first photos I took when someone asked me to take a nude picture of them. After a lot of talking, we shot in a place unfamiliar to me: a photo studio. I remember it well.

この頃から、見えるものと見えないもの、写るものと写らないもの、などについて考えていたように思います。暗室作業が楽しかった。

From around this time, I was thinking about what is visible and what is invisible, what can be captured and what cannot be captured. The darkroom work was fun.

暗室でのハプニングから構想を得た作品。自分では全く制御不可能な現象に心踊った。もう戻れない時間を懐かしがって作った作品。

A work inspired by a chance happening in a darkroom. I was thrilled by a phenomenon that I had no control over. A work that I made with nostalgia for a time to which I could no longer return.

深夜。遠くに見える灯りを使って絵を描くつもりで、暗がりでカメラを動かしていました。フィルムで撮影するので、これらの画像が現像後にどんな風に出てくるのか楽しみでした。

Late at night. I was moving the camera in the dark with the intention of drawing a picture using a light that I could see in the distance. Since I shoot on film, I was excited to see what these images would look like after I developed them.

友人を撮った隣り合うネガから、ひとつはそのまま、もうひとつは反転させて、一枚の印画紙に並べて焼いた作品。人の顔に興味がありました。

A work in which I showed my photographs adjacent to those taken by a friend, one positive and one negative, both printed side by side on a sheet of photographic paper. I was thinking about what I was looking at on people’s faces.
