On the 22nd, a 44-year-old woman from Gunma Prefecture, who became the model of the photo, also visited and took a photo of herself with her smartphone.

The woman said, “It was good to have a beautiful picture of the bond between me and my husband as it is. Because I don't know about the congenital illness, I think it will change a lot if you ask me. "

A 45-year-old man who passed by said, “I was looking at the photo as a normally good couple without a sense of incongruity. I was too shy to tell my wife, so I couldn't tell you so much, so I would like to tell you more directly. "

The photographer who photographed

Photographer Naotaka Miyamoto (58), who organized the photo exhibition, has taken pictures of people who lived through difficulties, such as refugees in Japan and athletes with disabilities.

Miyamoto-san said that many people took 1500 pictures this time.

He said that what he was particular about during the shooting was not to make a smile, but to bring out the various facial expressions and emotions of the couple who had been hiding.

There are expressions left in Miyamoto's heart.

The photo shows a 44-year-old woman in Toyama Prefecture, whose nose and mouth are deformed due to a blood vessel disease in her face.

18 years after I married my husband, the day of photography was the wedding anniversary.

Miyamoto-san said, “When a woman said, 'Thank you for taking care of me for 18 years,” my husband, who had a hard face, changed her expression with a joyful face, and thanked the couple. I felt what it was. "

Mr. Miyamoto said, “We started filming because it was special people who had problems with their appearance, and those who were selected as spouses were also prepared, but the relationship between couples everywhere unexpectedly. If you look inside, you will not be bothered by the appearance, and if you look at it like that, people who are ill with it will be easier to live. "
