Bored Panda contacted Hiro Photograph, the author of the image featuring a girl interacting with two cats in beautiful scenery. We visited the photographer’s Instagram to learn more about his work. His pictures are characterized by a serene atmosphere, predominantly featuring a girl in various wide shots across different locations and peaceful landscapes.

We were curious to find out more about the photographer's work, which is why we decided to contact him and ask him some questions. Hiro shared with us the story behind the recurring themes in his pictures: “My photography focuses on capturing landscapes and people. I aim to create images that evoke imagination and resonate with viewers who appreciate both scenery and human presence.”

Besides the consistent theme in Hiro’s photos, we also noticed that he exclusively uses a film camera. With this in mind, we were curious about what draws him to film photography in this digital age and how this choice influences his creative process. We learned that: “I choose to shoot with film because I believe it captures expressions that digital photography cannot replicate, particularly in the way it portrays light and shadow.”

Examining Hiro’s work, one can appreciate how the settings of each photo significantly shape its narrative. The photographer revealed to us his approach to selecting shoot locations: “I mainly photograph in the natural surroundings of my area, which is rich in nature.”

Lastly, we were wondering what techniques the photographer relies on to achieve the distinctive look and feel of his film photographs. Hiro told us briefly “I am always mindful of how to work with natural light.”
