Shooting Lizard Point
Here is a short documentary of the process of shooting Lizard Point. Music by Kurumaken.
Lizard Point Vol.1 Shooting
I had great time shooting Lizard Point Vol.1 in Jogashima, Miura today. I really want to thank fantastic model Yuki and our videographer Paulo for making this possible. Without you guys this just wouldn’t have happened!
It was really such a pleasure to work with Yuki since she really understood my concept from the beginning. The way how she interpreted it was totally beautiful; in fact I felt even a bit shaken by the intensity of the emotions she was able to convey.
Indeed, I wish that my skill as a photographer was enough to capture this very powerful scene properly. I know I will have trouble sleeping until I see the developed negatives; But that’s how it always is when you are shooting film. You’re taking risk; and that’s what makes it so thrilling; that’s chemical reaction what’s going on there.
From Here and Now
This is the final photo of the series “Island Mother” which we shot in Enoshima in March.
Substance, Wanted
The bird asks the frog,
what do you know about flying,
about the way how wind can hurt?
This is for the toad that we remember,
when our webbed feet bleed
for the person who locked his door
with his empty words in North Point
For the hope that exists in the world of no hope,
I say no more
until my son meets his frog
