This time, we interviewed creator hitoshi_kataoka, who participated in the .

Please Introduce Yourself!
I am an amateur photographer living in Sydney. My main job is repairing watches, but on weekends, I go out with my camera and upload the photos I take to social media.
What Made You Decide to Participate?
A friend told me they were participating in the , and since it coincided with my timing for a temporary return to Japan, I decided to join as well. This was my first time participating in a cizucu photo exhibition, but I have experience exhibiting in other photo exhibitions before.

How Was Your Experience Participating?
It was a refreshing experience to see my work displayed in poster size alongside the works of other participants. I also had the opportunity to interact with other photographers, making it a very meaningful event for me.
Why Did You Choose That Particular Photo?
Since it was going to be a poster, I chose a photo that not only looked beautiful but also left a strong impression on viewers. I particularly liked the concept of the black-and-white photo I took at the beach.

For Those Considering Participating in the photo poster project
It's not just about displaying your work; it's also a valuable opportunity to objectively view how your work compares to others and see what kind of photos others are taking. The chance to connect with fellow photographers is also a great aspect of this event.
