title
From heart
"To pray is to live."
The culture in Tibet is vanished day by day because of the policy of Chinalization, and China do not allowed to foreigners to enter Tibet without permission. That means a small number of people allowed to visit Tibet and record their worthful culture.
I'm a Chinese grown up in Japan and still have Chinese nationality, so I'm the one who can enter Tibet without bandage and have true eye to see the preciousness.
When I first visited Tibet, I amazed by the blue sky, beautiful culture, religion remain from ancient, and the people with a good heart. Tibetan people from small to old, they all believe Tibetan buddhism from their heart, and I can see the light in their praying. The most worthful things for people are always in their daily life.
The precious things never be forced to change by anyone who doesn't understand the preciousness. For them, to pray is to live. No one have rights to wrest the rights to live.
I keep take pictures, just want to tell one thing.
"Let yourself believe preciousness you see. Before the air fades out."
1992. Moved to Japan
2013. Graduated Meiji Gakuin University(Tokyo, Japan) Global Management Class.
Sep2013 to Aug2014. In Tibet for taking documentary photography.
Worked in Wedding studio, and did assistant for fashion and artist photography.
Started freelance photographer as soon as graduated University.
Photo theme: "The moment of people really live".
Photos are the story with no words, I believe it can tell great stories.
