PREPOSITION

Can I take a good picture? Every time, at any time, this anxiety sticks to me. It’s not because of a lack of self-confidence, but the anxiety caused by meeting people, I think. I felt it when I had a photo shoot with her for the first time. It was a room of the apartment located at the west end of Tokyo. Although several years have already passed since then, I’m worried if I can take good
pictures. I still feel uneasy. I always end up just chasing her, who always moves around freely. But that’s enough, she is beautiful. I’ve
been eager to put her photos all together into one book someday, but it took me until now. I don’t know why but it seems like I took her photos during a long trip.

うまく撮れるかな？毎回どんなときもそんな不安がまとわりつく。それは自信のなさじゃなくて、人と会う不安の方が大きいような気がする。彼女を初めて撮ったときもそう。東京の西の果てみたいなエリアにあるマンションの一室だった。そこからもう数年経つけど、未だにうまく撮れるかな？と相変わらず不安が過る。結局、いつも自由に勝手に動き回る彼女をレンズで追いかけるだけで終わってしまう。でもそれだけでじゅうぶんに美しいのが彼女だ。いつか一冊にまとめたいと思ってたけど、今までかかってしまった。なぜか長い旅をしながら撮ったような感じにまとまった。
