In a world without light, even with a camera, nothing can be captured. Many of you are likely experimenting with various ways to control the amount of light, devising creative approaches to achieve your intended tones and expressions.

Indeed, the expression of light is diverse, and the way it is used brings out the unique character of each artwork. In this context, we are launching a hashtag campaign with #light!

Additionally, the contest ‘Where Light Falls’, themed around natural light, is currently open!
We encourage you to submit your works to this as well.

While adjusting the overall brightness of the frame is essential, the quality of the light source also greatly influences the impression of the entire artwork. Where there is light, there are always shadows. Expressions utilizing shadows are also an integral part of light-based expression.
We encourage you to explore creative approaches using various types of light.

During the hashtag feature period from Thursday, April 16, 2026 to Wednesday, April 22, 2026, several artworks posted with #light will be selected and featured in the cizucu Magazine. We look forward to your submissions.
