Message from the photographer

Early morning when the stars are still shining she comes to school alone and starts preparing. When the morning sun shines into the dojo, she silently faces the target, focuses, and pulls her arrow. Her concentration increases while simply repeating the same movements over and over. “I want to improve.” She keeps practicing with all her heart and soul. I gaze at her. That is all I do. But I decided to support her by watching her focus on herself.

About the subject

I wanted to take photographs of my friend, who always does her best.
