Hideaki Ota

Artist Statemtent

I point the camera at the subjects, under the spell of their unique shape, motion and expression. I believe snapshots should always portray human. Photographs can give a story to a stranger on the street, when his body, expression and background coincidentally come into line.

Photographs can capture the moment of coincidence, while movie is so fluid that it needs to add deliberate dramatic effects.

Many of us perfer the dramatic moments, and seek for them somewhere in our hearts. My photographs can express a daily life as dramatically as possible, by secretly capturing the perfect moments of subjects.

Also, my photographs are in the eye of the beholder. Every viewer sees my photographs differently, depending on thier life experience. I wish my photographs will help you realize feelings of comfort and affluence in your life.
