Watashi no himitsu no yume (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Have you ever dream of something, and tried exceptionally hard, but it just ends up imperfectly? The way I took this series of photographs, meant to unfold the imagery of unfruitful thoughts, and pursue the "dream" that has been going on one's mind over and over for years. Minolta x370 film camera was used to create these photographs in 2017. Altho in my mind, it should have appeared nine years ago. Technics is not the key, but the ideas and concept. Tho the entire visual elements, such as texture, colours, composition and use of lights and shadows portrays just right. The series meant to create that intense mood of little girl's secret obsession, the unsatisfied appetite. I wish you all enjoy the journey, ups and downs, with her. I beg you to spare just one moment, to appreciate and make a wild guess of what's her secret in within.

“Why do you take pictures? What is the story behind your photography?” A question I’m asked for frequently.
The reason I take pictures, not just a documentation of my everyday life, but also to portray what is called “perfect” in my mind.
“Films are not dead”, and that aids me to create personal mood and atmosphere in within one frame.
For me, photographs aren’t just purely about moments captured, but also ongoing imagery running inside your mind.
It’s a media to share, to promote and to inspire others, it’s a universal language that suits everyone, and all you need is an eye with appreciation to understand it.
I wouldn’t call myself as a professional photographer because I do not agree that technics or gears are as important.
I would instead call myself an artist as well an image creator, where you will see vital contents, contexts, feelings and stories from behind.
Lastly, I hope you enjoy the journey of Niko’s vision from my photographic collection, that’s what’s most important.
