Message from the photographer

After school, Suzuka can always be found in the school gym. Karate, which she has dedicated herself to from since she was young, has helped her grow. Not only does she continue to improve her moves, she also cultivates what lies inside of her. She refuses to lose. She wants to win. It is with such passion that she ties her karate belt around her hips. Strict coaches and harsh training sometimes scare her. But when she’s completely focused on practice, she’s alive. I’ve always admired Suzuka for that, and will continue to cheer her on.

About the subject

I wanted to show the passion my subject has toward her goal of becoming the best.
