三井住友銀行 企業広告 「カラフルな人びと。山中翼篇」、「カラフルな人びと。広田千草」篇 撮影しました。銀行で働く人の中には、人と人を繋ぐ、関係性を構築するという目に見えない形での役割を担っている方たちもいます。人と人との繋がりは最初からうまくいくとは限らないですが、話しを聞き相手の事を様々な条件や内容から導き出した前向きな考えは関係構築の一助になり得る・・・そこに悩み考えながら取り組む銀行員の姿を岡崎体育さん、三浦透子さんにより表現されています。We filmed the Tsubasa Yamanaka and Chigusa Hirota episodes of corporate commercials for Sumitomo Mitsui Bank. Some of the people who work in banks bring people together, fulfilling a behind-the-scenes role of relationship builder. There is no guarantee that connections between people will go smoothly from the start, but positive ideas derived from listening to the other person and the various circumstances and facts about them can be a help in relationship building... Taiiku Okazaki and Toko Miura characterize bank clerks grappling with that task, concerned, intent.
PARIS PHOTO 2022の期間に合わせ、パリのOGATA Parisにて、11月9日（水）から11月13日（日）までティザー展示を開催。2022年に京都・奈良・伊勢・北海道での撮影を重ね、一滴のしずくが小さな波紋を起こし、やがて大海へと広がっていく大自然の循環を円相図に見立てて表現し、150年の歴史がある京都 開化堂の協力を得て、茶筒をモチーフに円相筒の作品が出来上がりました。今までにない作品に仕上がっています。また円相筒と同じ空間に、水という物質の現象を捉えたSURFACE作品を展示します。2022年11月9日（水）〜11月13日（日）*11月11日（金）休廊 OGATA Paris Adress 16, rue Debelleyme 75003 Paris - FRANCE 11：00−19：00 I am holding a teaser exhibition from November 9 (Wed) to 13 (Sun) at OGATA Paris (in Paris), coinciding with the PARIS PHOTO 2022 showing. I recently completed works called “enso-tsutsu” created with the assistance of Kaikado of Kyoto (tea canister makers) and their 150-year years of experience. Overlapping shoots in Kyoto, Nara, Ise, and Hokkaido in 2022 and resembling enso-zu (that calligraphic work where a single brush stroke describes a perfect circle, representing perfect peace of mind in Zen Buddhism), these works reflect the form of a traditional tea canister, and represent the cycles of nature, a single drop creating little ripples, eventually spreading out to the ocean. They have turned out to be works like nothing else I have done. Exhibited in the same space as the enso-tsutsu will be a work from SURFACE, an exhibition that captures phenomena featuring the substance water. 11:00−19:00, November 9 (Wed) to 13 (Sun), 2022 (except Fri November 11). OGATA Paris: 16 rue Debelleyme, 75003, Paris, France.
サントリー『碧Ao Hello, NEW PREMIUM』の新CMを撮影しました。岡田将生さんとKing Gnu 井口理さんの出会いがサントリー碧と共に描かれております。実景撮りしました薄暮の海をバックに2人の会話が弾みます。どうぞご覧ください。I shot the new Suntory commercial “Ao Hello, NEW PREMIUM.” It portrays a first encounter between Masaki Okada and Satoru Iguchi from King Gnu unfolding as they both try Suntory Ao for the first time. Shot on location, the conversation between the 2 gets lively as the sun sinks over the background seascape. Please take a look.
コールセンターで働く方を水滴と細い糸で見立て働く形を表現した、ベルシステム24の40周年広告を撮影しました。アートディレクションは森本千絵さん。声で繋がる世界を「心を重ねる」谷川俊太郎さんの言葉で優しくあたたかく表現されております。We likened the people who work in call centers to droplets of water and fine thread to express the way they work, in this ad we photographed for the 40th anniversary of Bell System24. Art direction is by Chie Morimoto. The words of Shuntaro Tanikawa’s poem “Kokoro wo Kasaneru” (“Come Together”) lovingly express that world where voices connect, in a way that warms your heart.
2022年に資生堂創業150周年を記念し発刊されます記念号『花椿』にて、「万物資生」をテーマに師匠の藤井保さんと共に作品を作り上げました。共創にも関わらずそれぞれの場所で別々に撮影を行い、そこから共創させていく。写真家が2人いるということは、それぞれに表現する写真や見せたい世界が異なるように思いますが、2人の思考が面白いように重なり合う瞬間を垣間見ることができるように感じます。写真家2人がどのように撮影し、作り上げていったのか、対談の中でも語っておりますのでどうぞご覧ください。I created this work together with master photographer Tamotsu Fujii on the theme “Banbutsu Shisei” (from classical Chinese poetry: “How wonderful are the virtues of the earth, from which all things are born!”) in the commemorative edition of Hanatsubaki, published in commemoration of the 150th anniversary in 2022 of the founding of Shiseido. Although it was a co-creation, we each took our own photos at different locations before starting the co-creation work. I think having 2 photographers means differences in photographic expression and in the worlds they each want to show, but interestingly, it seems to offer glimpses of our overlapping ideas. You can see a conversation where we 2 photographers discuss how we approached our photographic work, how we went about creating them, so please take a look.
