Praise the winter

This photographs series is a double-feature film photo collection showcasing the daily winter days in Japan. I use different cameras (analogue and digital) and tried to experiment with films to capture the evasive reality of beautiful land- Japan. Photography is a way to return to yourself and rediscover your senses. It doesn’t matter where you are, what’s important is what you see and how you can tell about it.

My story is not simple as the land where I come from.

However, mostly of this winter visual sketches are devoted to the rural areas of the “country of risen sun”, to local warmhearted people, to the authentic place where u can still make Japanese noodle by yourself, try real “hot spring” in cold outside weather, pray in Shinto shrine according to tradition. It’s all sacred, all is sincere.

Shots on variety of soviet old expired films Japanese reality is renounced to be appeared in a certain way. The metaphor of everyday life is a path from the East to the West.

Days at the East seem longer.

A 'place' I have visited

In spite of the fact that I'm a post-graduate student in absolutely another field-Asia studies, my permanent and favourite occupation is Photography and the world that it gives. Being just on my own, I used to make photos for my personal collection, not just for publicity. Still, there was the some non-professional exhibitions with my works about Asia, travelling and how it combines together. I realized that photography is something close to me when I travel, move and live. It is sacral, very personal, delicate. Dealing with it, you feel always like starting up. As I understood this travelling scholarship will focus mostly on National Geography experience and capturing the core of Greenland magic land. That's suits me best as in the urban area is more difficult to go deeper in this processes. I would like to go deeper in photography, especially travelling eclectics. Still, I've had no proper training, and this is where this scholarship comes in. And the chosen place such as Greenland and the Jason Edwards's mentoring is what called unbelievable experience!

My Scholarship entry - My Kind of Adventure

- the strong interest to Brazilian culture, training capoeira for a while, the enormous desire to experience not fake life in favella through this project, the chance to express our ambitions and skills with camera (and having fun) in Brazil.
- I start to do photography as a serious hobby 4 years ago since I was participating in Mediawave Film and Music Festival in Hungary. I was taking part in some short films during the festival in amateur visual projects and made with Hungarian and Serbian film-makers some non-professional documentaries during Mediawave festival.
- To apply for this project me as presenter decided to work in team with Balazs Toth as the film-maker. We made this short movie about our adventure in Spain and it shows how easy, comfortable and always creative way we can live when we gather together with camera. Apart from it our ideas about visual reality are enough strange to be captured by camera and charismatic that's why we are so attracted by this scholarship. The chance to make videos about my favourite country means a lot for me because its not just opportunity to travel and have fun, but to experience local culture from inside through unique tool-camera.
