Senjo

Nowadays, Kita-Senju has often been featured in magazines and media.
Have you heard​ ​"SENJO"と呼ばれる女性たちの”新しいブーム”が起きていることはご存じでしょうか。
"SENJO"means"Kita-Senju Women = commonly called Senjo"..
It is about the women who rediscover the new charm of Kita-Senju and enjoy Kita-Senju life to the full.
"SENJO" who push their way to the latest lifestyle.
Some of them are also called "camera girls".
With the SNS epidemic, girls who enjoy photographs easily with SLR cameras as well as smartphones are on the rise.
This time, I will introduce Senju's recommended photo spot and SNS shooting patch technique for those who say "I want to take pictures to shoot SNS!" "For those of you who do not care very much even taking a picture" ♪

Take photogenic town / senju!

If you enjoy walking in the Senju area during this season of comfortable climate for town walking,
We can meet some old buildings and sensual shops around the historical old road.

This time, Satoshi Osaki, a professional photographer, directly instructs how to shoot such a town's snapshot to shoot SNS!

It was Mr. Akane Kawaguchi, a 20-year-old girl, working for Senju who took a picture of her town with a smartphone with Osaki.

SENJO
This time SENJO: Akane Kawaguchi

Experience Akane Kawaguchi
Senju worked half year. Bright 20-son girls in delusions trying to move someda to Senju who was completely attracted while working.
Beside the cafe clerk, he is struggling also as an editing assistant.

He advised me ...

Senjo
Photographer: Satoshi Osaki

Satoshi Osaki
He worked on people, beauty, landscape photographs, etc. and was active in various media. A smartphone photography course for beginners is also offered. In his book "You can shoot suddenly as you want! Digital single-lens reflex camera and photograph basic book "(published by Nagaoka Shoten).

Shooting with a wide bank, how do you shoot?

Senjo
Arakawa bank: familiar with drama and so on. A photo spot aiming at various scenes such as lush grass and blue sky if the weather is fine, evening sunset in the evening sun

First of all, the two people who came to the Arakawa bank where the wind feels comfortable.
From Mr. Kawaguchi who found the flower bed"I will take this flower bed and take a picture"And the first piece.

Mr. Osaki who saw the picture gave advice on how to shoot quickly with smartphone in hand.
"When you take a picture in landscape orientation in such a wide place, the subject will be scattered and will spill it.
In such a case, please try to dress vertically.
By closing down the subjects you want to shoot, the theme is clearly conveyed.
In addition, instead of the zoom function of the camera, you can find your favorite angle of view by taking a picture at various distances by moving yourself back and forth (after).Also, if you put sky in the screen about 1/3 to 2/3, the spread will appear in the photo "

If this is OK, Mr. Osaki who pushed the doubt, there is another advice.

"If you are going to take Kawahara laterally from here, please put in the railings next to this staircase, which makes the place atmosphere.
By the way, even when shooting people in these places, it is easier for you to use a railing to take poses"

So here are 2 photos taken by Mr. Osaki. Convinced!

If you change the way you hold a smartphone up the three-dimensional feeling!

Subsequently, the two people moved to Adachi Ward Central Library (Adachi-ku Senju 5-13-5).
I decided to take a monument at the center of the water surface.

"If you bring the lens closer to the surface of the water, you will get a lot of power with a low angle effect.To that, let's change the way you hold a smartphone.
Hold it with one hand and hold the lens so that its position is downwards and try to cut the shutter with the side buttons. "

Osaki-san showed me how to hold this.

Senjo
By taking the camera lens down, you can shoot at a lower angle.

Immediately after taking a picture in accordance with the advice, Mr. Kawaguchi's picture got closer to the water surface from the viewpoint, moved a little by being tilted slightly and it is more dynamic.

Actually, Mr. Kawaguchi who was shooting in such attitude.

Senjo
"Even just a little squatting, I can see the usual scenery differently," he said.

I want to take a person cool in black and white photos!

I met in the city walk, the leather shop "Tenjin Works".

Senjo
Tenjin Works (Adachi-ku Senju 3-6): A shop that sticks to natural leather materials and offers strong and beautiful leather items. A photogenic appearance such as a large wooden door, concrete wall, workshop visible from the window.

"The appearance of this shop will be a picture!"When two people were thinking about angle of view, the president, Mr. Hideto Takagi, appeared from inside.
"Please let me take a picture with your shop!"When Mr. Kawaguchi asked, I pull with a smile while surprising.

"The building itself is also cool, so it may be easier to shoot using" square "rather than" rectangle "(before) since the composition is organized and tightened (after1). And, as the store manager entered, it became cooler, so why do not you try black and white (after 2) like an artwork style? "

Following the advice of Mr. Osaki, the pictures taken by Mr. Kawaguchi are here.

Just like Mr. Kawaguchi is very satisfied with a picture like a page of a magazine.
As I was happy with Mr. Takagi, I left the store with a smile.

The atmosphere of the building is dragged and dropped to give the best cut

Next, I went to Ohashi ophthalmology department.
This tasteful building of active ophthalmology is built in 1985 after the Western-style building built in Taisho 6 years was dismantled, and its members etc. were reused.
Advice from Mr. Osaki in front of this photonics ophthalmologist who fights 1 and 2 even in the Senju area.

"It is a building with atmosphere.
When trying to shoot from the arcade street, the building may be too big and too close to fit within the frame.
In that case, I think that you can cross over the road and take a picture by pulling away from the building. "

Senjo
Ohashi Ophthalmic Office (Senju-ku 3-chome Adachi-ku): A modern building standing on the street in front of Kita-Senju Station. This is a photo spot fighting for 1 or 2 even in the Senju area.

Mr. Kawaguchi taught me to approach or narrow down to that.
Here we challenge the pictures of pulls that incorporate the whole building.
I took a picture across the street from the other side immediately.

Senjo

"Try putting other things (taxis) in addition to the subject matter (building) as a theme (after1).
You can also make a strange photo with accent, which makes it difficult to understand the era by putting in the building (apartment) which becomes the background (after2) "

"The advantage of approaching a building is that you can take details such as the roof.
Also, excluding signs and billboards and contemporary signatures, it is one point to make it to the last picture of the building's age. "

Utsuwa draws attraction by shooting from the side

Where I was able to take pictures that are exactly pictures, I visited the shop "Big Bottle".
It is said that the dishes of this restaurant, Mr. Kawaguchi's work book cafe, which arrange works by the writer according to the season are being purchased here.

Thanks to Ms. Junko Iwaki, manager of the shop, we allowed shooting of glasses inside the shop.

Senjo
Utsuka Manza (Adachi-ku Senju 4-18-11): A shop with plenty of practical utility that is active in daily living. In the bright shop, there are the people who are familiar with the hands.

"Taking a picture from your own eyes tends to be vague from the upper angle (before).
However, if you take closer approaching from the side, you can express the texture of the utensils and appeal.
Also, try to remove elements on the table as much as possible so that you focus on the dishes (after). Try it out, I will remove the plants. "

Indeed, it turned into a photograph that the transparency and texture of the glass are transmitted.

When entering information of shops other than food ◎

Two people who were hungry, to the end of the walk to Senju's specialty tofu store "Toff Shop Musashi".
I decided to have a walnut entertainment tofu menti at shop owner Takashi Ishino on the spot and get it at the store.
Suppressing spiritual feeling, first shooting.

"Cookery with clothes such as croquette seems to be delicious as it tells what kind of menu it is when shooting with half cut to show its contents.In addition, if you insert the signboard of the shop at this angle, You can tell fashionably food, shop name and two pieces of information. "

Indeed, this one is easy to understand.

Senjo
Tofu Shop Musashi (Adachi-ku Senju 1-30-1): I am committed to handmade, offering not only tofu but also many mushrooms, idea goods, tofu prepared foods and more. It is also fun to walk around the shopping street while eating fresh made, as well as dinner side dishes.

Mr. Kawaguchi who can not wait is Pakuri at the store. This is the expression of happiness.

Senjo

The end"I've taken this for the first time"Mr. Osaki and Mr. Kawaguchi who were puzzled but took self-shooting.

Senjo

Both of you, thank you very much.
Everyone, please try enjoying Senju walking photos.
