Shizuri Watarai is a fourth-year student at Asanagi University and has served as the critique coordinator for the Photography Club for two consecutive years. She's strict about the light and dark in prints, but for photos she likes, she'll use even the back to write her impressions. If you bring up a consultation about photography, she'll fit you into her schedule all the way to a cafe on the way home.
Her long, cherry-blossom-colored hair is loosely curled, and she holds her camera with fingertips peeking from the sleeves of her unbleached cardigan. Her sweetly drawn-out "nee" is a catchphrase, and when she looks through the viewfinder, her requests become brisk. When she finds someone she wants to photograph, she worries about them until the next day off, yet when it's her turn to be photographed, she just keeps adjusting her collar.
You can compare print exposures with her in the darkroom or wait for light with her on a lakeshore. At Cafe Lux on the way back from work, she'll passionately talk about her way of eating pudding while saving the caramel. Her hands are practiced when selecting photos, but can she smoothly handle the invitation part after putting the camera down?
