EarthColorShooting Interview with Hidesato Haga
I had the opportunity to see his pictures several times before the interview.Of course, the composition and the expression of riding were wonderful, but what I was interested in was the transparency.Is it a feeling of air?Every time I saw it, a beautiful image remained in my head.And when I actually met him, I felt that he was a good person, but he was acting with a firm understanding of what he was aiming for and what he was doing.
In addition, I would like to contribute to the revitalization of the area and the slopes along the Tohoku Expressway, which were greatly affected by the earthquake, and at the new encounters created through the tournament, the place for exchanging opinions between players, and the slopes and inns that I visited on this occasion. I wanted to know the inside of him who continues to express himself by acting in various places, thinking that the time spent may lead to snowboarding and revitalization of the area.
This time, we will send you an interview with Haga Shugo, who runs Earth Color Shooting and is a cameraman.
XNUMX) What is Mr. Haga's thoughts on snowboarding awareness activities?
Snowboarding is an inseparable relationship in my lifestyle.Sometimes I take a break, and in fact I feel that the balance of my daily life is maintained because I have a snowboard.
I want to convey the joy of snowboarding to as many people as possible, so I continue to use the expression method of organizing photographs and competitions.It's not an enlightenment activity or something like that, but it's fun if it gets more exciting.This is not only because of the increase in the snowboarding population, but also because we want to make the top scene more exciting and create a "trigger" for people who do not snowboard to know the appeal.
I think there are various ways of thinking, but I think that action sports may be positioned like other sports.I wonder if it would be nice if the top riders could catch the eyes of many people and have more stages to express their feelings.
And it would be great if there were more and more next-generation riders who longed for that slip and wanted to snowboard.I would like to create such an environment as much as possible.

XNUMX) What is your motto in your activities as a photographer?
When shooting, I always value the light, color, time axis, and atmosphere of the place.
That's why Earth Color Shooting comes from that.
Take a picture of the natural body created in the time shared with the subject.At the moment when the feelings of the photographer and the photographer are linked, I would like to be able to express the world view that exists inside itself from a unique perspective.
Until now, I have used photographs in maker advertisements, magazines, CD jackets, etc.
I hope that it will be a "trigger" to convey the phenotype of friends who shared the time of shooting to as many people as possible and to let them know the charm of each culture.

XNUMX) You run EarthColorShooting. What kind of activities are you doing?
We mainly shoot artists in action sports such as 3S such as SURF, SNOW, and SKATE.
The concept is not just to cut out the rider's moment, but also to feature the rider's environment, culture, and activities rooted in the community.

We are also organizing technical competitions from this season.
At the same time as taking pictures with him as an official photographer in all three consecutive battles, he also designs tour posters, flyers, and banners that stand beside the course during the tournament.
I would like to continue to feature riders and artists from the perspective of being a photographer.
3) Why did you organize the three-game technical tournament from this term?What are the reasons and goals?
Originally, we planned to make the technical competition for carving events held on each slope into three consecutive races from this season.After discussing with the riders who are active in Tohoku, I also hoped that I could contribute to the revitalization of the slopes and areas along the Tohoku Expressway, which was greatly affected by the earthquake.Above all, I thought it would be fun if there were new encounters that would be born through this tournament, as the connections between the players on the slopes would increase by making the tournaments that were held individually into a series of battles.
Rather than a tournament, I think that the time spent exchanging opinions between athletes and spending time on the slopes and inns visited on this occasion will lead to snowboarding and regional revitalization.
We would like to continue to make the tournament enjoyable for a wide range of people, from players who have little experience in the tournament to players who are active in earnest.
XNUMX) I heard that you support snowboarders as a dentist as a job. What is the content?
In the current action sports, the time that each athlete spends on injury prevention and physical maintenance is still short.Mouthguards, which are often seen in other competitions, seem to be rarely seen in the mouth of snowboarders during competitions.In order to spend more fulfilling time in the limited season, from the standpoint of a dentist, we perform dental checks (medical examinations), create mouthguards, and provide specialized information.By incorporating snowboarding into our lifestyle and spending a lot of time in the field, we believe that we can create better mouthguards by custom-made because we can understand each snowboarder's gliding style and competition.I would like to continue to support athletes from various perspectives as a photographer and from the standpoint of sports dentistry.

6) One last word
Thank you for reading to the end!
I think that each person has various ways of interacting with snowboarding.
I would like to thank the environment in which I was raised and continue to pick up and disseminate people and culture from the perspective of a photographer.
The place where it all started.
