Interview with Abeja Mariposa

@abejamariposa

Abeja Mariposa is a Japanese street photographer and we have conducted this short interview where he tells us more about his work.

"In the fleeting expression of a human face, the aura beckons from early photographs for the last time. This is what gives them their melancholy and incomparable beauty"

Extract from"The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility" by Walter Benjamin

How did you start?

I am almost 50 years old and have never been particularly interested in taking photos in my entire life. But in early 2021, I took pictures of a glowing light bulb at home with my cheap smartphone just for fun. On low exposure, the round shape of the bulb stood out clearly in the dark and looked almost like a planet. It was so beautiful and interesting that I took pictures of all the bulbs in my house one after the other. As there were no bulbs left to photograph, I went outside and started taking pictures of the outside lights, road lights, street lights, traffic lights and so on. I was simply fascinated by the beauty of light. That was the beginning of my street photography.

At the end of October 2021, after ten months of practice with the smartphone camera, I finally bought a second-hand Fujifilm X-T30, which was my first real camera. It's been less than two years since I started taking photos, so when they contacted me for an interview, I was very surprised, like "Why a beginner like me?"

Who inspired you?

I have always been interested in any form of art, especially music and film. Music has a lot to do with visual images. I grew up in the MTV generation of the 80s and loved watching all those interesting and strange music videos. As for films, I love the old Hollywood musicals of the 1930s to mid-1950s, and filmmakers like Jim Jarmusch, Federico Fellini, Busby Berkeley and others. They may not have directly influenced my photographic work, but I suppose a variety of elements in them accumulate in memory and shape my work. If you've seen lots of classic film noir movies, it's only natural that you know how to take black and white night photographs without learning, for example.

Before I started taking pictures, I had been writing a blog called Stronger Than Paradise (https://strongerthanparadise.blog.fc2.com) for over ten years. Although it's basically a Sade (not Marquis de) fan blog, I wrote about various art-related topics. I think it shows my influences to some extent.

How would you define your style?

I have no idea. It's a free style. Actually, I haven't taken enough pictures to build my own style. Some photographers like to always shoot the same subject or the same kind of photos to clarify the style and get a following, but I don't like the way. I like to shoot various subjects in various ways, and I always want to take pictures that I've never taken before. I like it to remain eclectic rather than distinctive.

Do you have any projects you are working on?

Nothing special. Just take better pictures than yesterday and have fun - that's my project. Photography is a good hobby. The camera takes me to places I've never been. Taking pictures becomes the reason to go out. There are many beautiful things and moments in this world, even in everyday life. I would like to go to various places and find them for the rest of my life.
