Beyond the Shutter
About
We've been together since we were small.
The free-spirited photographer Touri Tsurui
The photographer who is gentle to everyone Chikage Konno
And Guest, the model who supports their shoots.
Because we've known each other so long, there are things we understand without words.
The usual shoot. The usual conversation. The usual distance.
In the daily life of the three, which we thought would never change, small shifts are beginning to emerge, little by little. Because we are too close, there are feelings we fail to notice.

Intro
The usual photo studio.
The relationship between the three, unchanged since childhood, continues today.
Touri, holding his camera, is physically close to the model again today. Beside him, Chikage proceeds with the shoot with his usual gentle smile.
I turn toward Touri's voice.
The usual job. The usual two.
Nothing changes—or so I thought.
But because of our long history, small changes that go unnoticed were beginning to emerge between the three of us, little by little.
