Interview with Makiko Taguchi

I wanted to be a photographer because I was a dream from my childhood. I was not good at drawing, so I wanted to express something with a camera.

I chose to become one.

I take pictures and express them.

I' not a legend.Because I am also studying.The only thing I can say is that young people also have plenty of dreams and do not give up.

It's a difficult question.I would like someone to hear the answer to that question.

The value of good design is whether people with it can be happy or not.

I take pictures and express it, but if I have time I will point the camera to nature, people, still life.

My dream project is to take a picture of one Japanese stage actress with my idea and inspiration.She is a famous and excellent expresser. But to get her taken, I need many connections, a good photography team, a lot of time and money.I have not got them enough yet.But I believe that someday I want to fulfill this dream project.

I think that I was born as a Japanese.

Bert Stern, Robert Capa, Howell Conant, Kenji Higuchi, Ruiko Yoshida, Kiyomi Tagawa, Joji Hashiguchi, Yoshihiko Ueda

If I was born to men, I wanted to be a rescue worker.

My familly, Friends, All around people, Many Dreams.

The ultimate goal is always to work with a fresh heart and affection. And it is to stay active until death.

Yes.The next exhibition will hold a solo exhibition in Tokyo from Friday, June 23, 2017 until Tuesday, June 27, 2017 in Japan.The venue is the "Gallery NIW" rental gallery located in Sekiguchi 1-44-8, Bunkyo-ku Tokyo.

To a place that is simpler and less convenient.

It depends on the project to be tackled.

I start by experimenting whether image ideas can really be made into photographs.

I am aiming for the heart to be honest.

I think that trends are something that has been systematically created by people to some extent.

Canon EOS 7D MarkII, 7D, Adobe Lithgtroom, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc

I do not know the difficult things, but I want to answer if asked.

I will be pleased.

I am looking for it now.

I only have practice.

It is hard.

My favorite color/Orange, place/Kokyo Higashi Gyoen(the East Garden of the Imperial Palace), food/Curry Rice, season/Summer, thing/Pocket watch, Fountain pen, brand/nothing

Long ago, while shooting the drift ice in the Sea of Okhotsk in winter, just fell to the sea with the Brownie camera just bought.Present is the memory at which young time can laugh.

Every morning, taking the sun.

I do not know wonderful, but photographer was a dream from my childhood.

My photo office is located in Kitami City, Hokkaido, Japan. On a regular basis, we receive requests from regional advertising agencies and individual customers to conduct photography business.

I like simple works with straight appeal.

When I am most creative, I am taking photos.

It may be a Japanese mindset, I can be empty mind meditation, and sense the quiet world without sounds and fragrances.

I'm happy.

First impression.Because people think that they judge good or bad instantaneously.I think it is really a moment.

I think there are responsibilities and missions that are useful for the world and for the people.

Even though the tools used to create the design evolve, I think that the finished design will become more primitive and simpler.

I exhibited one work from the booth of Kitai gallery at "Artexpo New York 2017" held in April.
The next exhibition will hold a solo exhibition in Tokyo from Friday, June 23, 2017 until Tuesday, June 27, 2017 in Japan.The venue is the "Gallery NIW" rental gallery located in Sekiguchi 1-44-8, Bunkyo-ku Tokyo.

It is a past experience, memories, memories, etc.

Photograph.

I live in Hokkaido, Japan.The cultural heritage of this country has a great influence on my photographs.

It is a better advertisement.In local cities, few designers work together, can not choose.

My favorite design items are Marvin's pocket watch, Guess's watch, Hario's coffee mill, Apple's Macintosh, Mikaela' s leather shoes.

What does it mean?

I think positive things are that we can meet lots of people. I think that negative things are sometimes lonely work.

My Golden Rule is being honest.

To see lots of good things and not good things.

Mainly using Canon EOS 7D Mark II, processing with Adobe Lightroom, Illustrator, Photoshop.

It depends on work. There are times in hours, there are things that take one day, others are weekly or monthly.

Why did you decide to become a photographer?

Every job is the most important and grows me.

My main client is a local advertising agency.

My future plan is that it may be a dream, but to take a picture of one Japanese stage actress with my idea and inspiration.She is a famous and excellent expresser. But to get her taken, I need many connections, a good photography team, a lot of time and money.I have not got them enough yet.But I believe that someday I want to fulfill this dream project.

I sometimes work in a team, but sometimes I am alone.

Contacts to me are E-mail, fax, letter, telephone.
