I consider myself a photographer who shoots in color, not in light and dark, and I prefer images with color. Therefore, when shooting works, I often use color instead of monochrome. At the editing stage, you can control the colors to some extent, but if you can’t shoot the original, no matter how hard you try with Photoshop, there is a limit.
“Difficulty of shooting in color” Anyone who has experienced painting knows the difficulty of “adjusting the tone” at the finishing stage. If it is a photograph, it will be very troublesome because it will be automatically recorded (physically correct). Therefore, it becomes extremely difficult to prepare backgrounds and costumes (it would be nice to have the help of a stylist, but if the taste does not suit my taste, the shoot will be ruined, so I try to do everything myself. I have to). In shooting, I think the most important thing for me is to create a “preferred atmosphere” (like adding color to the atmosphere).
All of these shots were taken while setting up in a corner of my office. The difficult thing here is… Models are required to have a certain level of “acting”. Also, it wouldn’t be a serious picture if the oiran didn’t produce the fatigue and sadness after taking a guest. “This is the most difficult part for both photographers and models.”
There are many “Oiran images” here, but there are almost no Oiran-like images, though they are worth seeing as art. “Is it because the story doesn’t come out?” I would like you to pretend to be a courtesan and appear in the photo, but I wonder if my “intent” was not conveyed or if it was difficult to direct, which is an issue for the future. “Let’s create an atmosphere of emptiness after having a customer, let’s say we’re tired, let’s call it helplessness!”
The French curator who first “discovered” me and I spent a few days at a rental house in Nice, discussing “photographs with a serious narrative”. Among the oiran images I took, this one is good, but this one is no good. It’s the facial expression of a courtesan (prostitute), including the pose, what is the criteria for good or bad? “Glossy but recluse eyes” is the game.
