Special Selection: "I struggled until the very end to decide on the theme of light."

Winner of the Manazashi Photo Club 2nd Term Photo Contest "Hikari"
I struggled with the theme of light for this project until the very end.
Is it the light inside me, or the light that the photograph reveals?
Subjective, objective...
And I ultimately decided on the latter.

Until now, I have been taking pictures with my daughters just for fun, going by instinct, but these instincts were also uncertain and lacked knowledge.
However, I am so immersed in taking photos that my daily motivation depends on the outcome of the photos, so last year (2020) I began to study on my own how to turn my imagination into reality and what makes a good photo.
And learning at the Manazashi Photo Club.

The fact that I was given the opportunity to take part in a photo contest is a ray of hope for me, but I also thought that I might as well try and put what I learned last year into a work of art, which is why I chose it.

Overwhelming light. The two of them look like they're having fun. You can feel the light in the sky, the trees, the leaves, and the way the two of them look, and it's as if the light has been crammed into the photograph. A beautiful shot, with a wonderful way of capturing it.
It was as if a gentle light was enveloping us both, and it made me feel very happy.
