作品ステートメント

原宿のラフォーレに集まる彩り豊かな若者を熱帯魚に見立てた、企業年間キャンペーンポスターです。フィルム時代の撮影ですが、これだけ沢山の魚を一度に水槽には入れられないため、撮影後に創意工夫のデジタル処理を施して密集する様子に成し遂げました。

This corporate annual campaign poster depicts the colorful young people who gather at Laforet in Harajuku as tropical fish. Although the images were taken in the film era, it was not possible to put so many fish in the tank at once, so creative digital processing was applied after the shooting to achieve the densely packed appearance.
