Life Studio, which operates photo studios nationwide, has announced the grand prize winner of its in-house photo contest “PHOTOFES 2025 vol.1”. The prestigious Grand Prize winner, chosen by customer votes, was “Connecting Light,” a work by Minami, a photographer at the
Shin-Matsudo store. “Speaking through photos, connecting through photos, moving hearts through photos” — What is PHOTOFES? PHOTOFES is an in-house photo contest in which Life Studio photographers select the photos they most want to share right now and submit them with their thoughts. The grand prize is decided by customer votes, and the winning works will be displayed in various media as iconic visuals for the brand. The thoughts behind the Grand Prix winning work “Connecting Light” The winning work, “Connecting Light,” is a photograph that captures the figure of a little older sister gently placing her hand on her younger brother, enveloped in natural light and soft colors. The composition, tone, and delicate eye guidance convey a “warmth that quietly watches over the world of the siblings.” “It’s easy to express things in words, but I think there are some things that can’t be conveyed with words alone. I pick up my camera every day hoping to express that in a photograph.” ──Minami (Shin-Matsudo store
photographer)
