japanese artist Midori chan photography For Midori, photography is not only a tool to record reality but an interpretation of a certain emotions. It is a world seen through the artist’s eyes at a certain given moment frozen in time.

She has found the beauty and uniqueness in each country she visited not only through the wonders of the land but the people who have touched her heart with a simple gesture of kindness. As a photographer, she loves to retain with her the joy and freshness of each moment through her arts and share the beauty she found with the world. Photography has helped her to record what she cannot express in words, through her camera, she could capture a fleeting impression in eternity and the beauty of this frozen moment in time is interpreted in the dream like quality of her work.
