I want the styling to feel people's temperature.
The "Kangoo" arrives at the studio in Tokyo, the location for the day's shoot. The car is parked and quickly brought in.
Kangoo" is also very easy to put luggage in and out of. My job requires me to do a lot of lifting, and the Kangoo is designed at a height that makes it easy to do so. So I'm glad that it's so easy to load and unload, and it's also easy to carry in and out once we get to the studio.
After the delivery is complete, the first step is to discuss the shooting arrangements with the editor and photographer before starting the styling process.
. I have been interested in interior design since I was a student, watching TV and magazine projects. I used to redecorate my own room, using those projects as references. When I was in college, I went to an interior design store, and the styling in the brochure they handed out was really cool, and when I looked closer, I saw a credit for "interior stylist. I looked closely and saw that I was an "interior stylist." That made me realize that there was such a job, and at the same time, it made me realize that I wanted to make a career out of it.
At the school, Katsuya Kubokawa, who would later become Mr. Endo's mentor, was teaching as a special instructor. While still in school, he became an assistant, and after working there for six years, he became independent. Since his debut, he has demonstrated his ability in a variety of media, including magazines, websites, and advertisements.
Of course I want to create a cool space, but I also want to add the shadow of a person to the space. For example, when I take a photo of a room, the model is not in the photo, but I am conscious of styling the room in a way that gives the viewer a sense of life in the room. . When readers see the photos, I want them to feel the temperature of the people in the room. Over the past few years, I have received an increasing number of requests for this kind of styling.
Endo continues, "An important point of inspiration in his creations is to think about the kind of person who will be living in that room.
When a client gives me a detailed order, I try to express it in a way that meets the client's needs, but if I only use simple keywords such as "Scandinavian," "industrial," "Italian modern," etc., then I can freely expand on the rest. But if I only use simple keywords such as "Scandinavian," "industrial," or "Italian modern," and the rest can be freely expanded, I ask myself, "What kind of lifestyle would a person living here have?" . I think about it. I try to imagine people who like to travel, or who are indoor people rather than outdoorsy people, and as I do so, I try to unravel their personalities and express these elements in the accessories and other items. I try to create a sense of life in a room by accumulating such details. I am happy when readers or people around me on a shoot notice these points.
The styling of the day is also a success. The tables and sofas have a modern urban feel, but the potted mountain boots, polar bear cushions in the room, sage incense and outdoor lights on the table, etc., show the taste of the would-be nature lover who lives in this room.
I had a lot of plants in the room, so even though it was indoors, I tried to create a space where people could feel nature. When I went to interior design stores with my mentor, we would have a great conversation about how this item could be used for this or that. When I went to interior design shops with my mentor, he would say things like, "This item can be used for this," and we would get into a great game of "Oh-ho-ho. Mountain boots are a perfect example of this technique.
