◎ How did you come up with the title "knock no shikata
(-the way to knock)"?

Do you just knock a bit and leave?
Do you wait until you get replies?

Do you still wait?
The title represents the distance
between the subject and myself as the book presents
my way of approachingto the views and the people.
Sometimes its hot but suddenly gets cold…
was it inside or outside?

◎ Did anything changed after you published the book?

I could feel that there are lots of people who care about me. It's getting really hot!

◎ What is photo books to you?

Big outcomes. Little outcomes are ordinary prints
and words that come out from mouths.

男心に訴え、女心に甘える自分らしさ。
そしてわかりやすさ。

◎ 興味を惹かれるタイトル（「knock no shikata」）ですが、なぜこのネーミングに？

私から風景や人に対してのアプローチであり、
被写体への距離感を意味しています。
ちょっと叩いて立ち去る？ 返事があるまで待つ？
叩き続ける？ えっまだ待つ？ 時には熱く、
次の瞬間クールに居続けた場所、
立っていたのは扉の内側？外側？

◎ 写真集を出してみて変化したことはありますか？

秦を気にしていてくれる人が意外に多く、熱い！
それを確認できた。

◎ あなたにとって写真集とは？

大きな出力。小さな出力は日常のプリントであり
吐き出す言葉。
