 | It has always been my dream to live abroad, and I was motivated by my desire to work in TV drama. After entering TVA my concerns were completely blown away, and I’ve had a stimulating experience I could have only found studying abroad. | |

Graduates
Interviews with students who made their dreams realities here in Japan!
 | I’m active in fashion magazine and advertising photography on the world stage In 2006, as a charity project to support the victims of the Sumatra Earthquake, I released a photo collection of 300 Asian Celeberties titled “super stars”. Again, as a result of the Great Japan Earthquake in 2011, I finished another charity based album, “Love&Hope” receiving the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award for Advertising at the 2012 APA Awards. During my time at Tokyo Visual Arts I took many photographs every day, and those photographs were the start of the subsequent albums. Because of the free atmosphere at Tokyo Visual Arts, I was able to develop a push-the-boundaries atmosphere to challenge myself. It was the era of film photography when I was a student, but now we can take photos in digital. Since you live in such a blessed era, please use the opportunity to take many photos. | |
