Statement

   Atsushi Ezura is a non-professional photographer based on Tokyo, Japan. I mainly take women portrait photography. I have been explored a woman beauty naturally, beautiful and momentary in taking portrait photographs.
   In general, it does not use continuous shooting in taking portrait photography. But I often use this shooting style intendedly in tanking women portrait photographies. A woman portrait photography includes her beauty in a moment. I have tried to achieve making one photography which has moments of her beauty with layering. The reason of my experiment means that prove my hypothesis of “A beauty exists within a moment” delivered by the certainly fact of “people cannot stop motion even if in a moment.” Imagine about a movie in playing. If you stop a movie any siene you want, an actor may look beautiful expression, or may have leaden-eyed in a blink.
   But, definitely there are lots of beautiful moments in their sequences of time. I decided to extract a beauty included in it, then to reconstruct on a paper by an expression system as “photography.” I named this method of expressing “Continuous discontinuity”, and have been doing product work since 2016. This experiment is in progress and still I have continued to seek my conclusion.
 私は普段、女性ポートレイト写真を中心に撮影し、女性の美しさを探求しています。
 一般的に、ポートレイト撮影では連写は使用しませんが、私は意図的に多用します。
 女性の瞬間的な美を内包するポートレイトのそれらの、時間的に層化した一枚の写真としての成立を私は試みます。その理由は「人は一瞬たりとも不動たりえない」という事実から導出される独自仮説「美はある瞬間に内在する」の立証にあります。
 例えば、再生中の映画を任意のシーンで停止した時に、演者の美しい表情の時もあれば、瞬きの途中の虚いた眼をしている時もあるはずです。そこに含有される美しさを抽出し、写真という表現装置により紙上に再構成するこの表現手法を、私は「Continuous discontinuity(連続的不連続)」と命名し、2016年より作品制作を続けています。試みは現在も進行中であり、なお模索の中にあります。
