Speaking of summer drinks, "cider" This is a shop in Yoro Falls (Gifu Prefecture). Because it was the middle of summer, it was hot and sweat was streaming. That's when I discovered "Yoro Cider". Although I struggled to open the bottle, I was able to drink cold cider and enjoy the coolness. The key to this photo is the color. I shot it with a camera called Papershoot, and imagined and directed the nostalgic feeling of the time when this bottle-type juice was the norm. As a result, I was able to create a photo that looked like it was taken on film, and I was able to give it an emo look.

Speaking of summer flowers, "sunflower" I went to a sunflower field in Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture, where sunflowers are in full bloom. There were many people of all ages, from babies to the elderly, and they were taking pictures while enjoying the sunflowers. I photographed the sunset and sunflowers with my favorite digital camera, Papershoot. The beauty of this camera is that it expresses light in a good Ume plum. The point of this photo is that in order to express the Scene and the dynamics of the sunflowers being gently illuminated by the setting sunflower, the camera was taken slightly below the height of the sunflower flowers and taken from a fanning angle.
