Everything with Ryuta Suzuki from Insects & Architecture

Insects are seen fighting at feeding stations and other places, but they seem to get along just for that brief moment on a beautiful flower. I took this photo thinking that people are the same way.

Although I only entered one picture this time, I think the Gold Award was a great joy for me, my family, and others around me. I felt it was the perfect opportunity to let people know about me by including it on my website and introducing my past works when I hold a solo exhibition.

First of all, something you like. Second, choose pieces that will help you remember the scene.

I purchased a mirrorless camera for my son's entry into elementary school. I thought that a smartphone would be too far away to take pictures.

What I like best is nature photography. Since I was a child, I loved to play outside in all weathers, especially summer, because there were so many insects. I love nature the most because I am outside a lot and have spent a lot of time seeing and touching insects and flowers.

I think it's what I like best, so how do I make it look beautiful, cool, and memorable? What comes to mind more easily than other genres? With digital, I can release the shutter as many times as I want without fear of making mistakes, and I can go from learning to reviewing quickly.

The Gold award winners are Flowers and Insects. I feel that many people dislike or dislike insects, so I want them to feel that the work is beautiful and not creepy.

I wanted to have a little originality, so I didn't use a tripod, didn't do depth compositing, and didn't use strobes. Since the work is made from the very image captured by the macro lens of a full-frame camera, a thin or blurred focus plane is a learning point every time.

It is a secluded place where flowers and insects are usually seen casually, but not paid attention to. Themes often use my emotions at the time.

There is no specific person. However, I consider all photographers, including nature photography works, to be my source.

It is a costly affair, and many people are not sure of their level of expertise. Let's start with just one piece, the one you like best. It is also important to take a good look at past work, which is an opinion I was given by a friend of mine.

Manners must be absolutely observed when taking pictures. However, we believe that there is no set way of doing things when it comes to photography techniques. This is because we are not shooting at the request of the photographer. Unless you are a commercial photographer, if you want to present your work to the world as your own, you should be free to do so.

It is indispensable. It is an important process that brings us closer to completion.

I want to photograph the air and the air around joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure.
