It was the largest Christmas tree in New York City. One World Trade Center has been ten years since it opened on November 3, 2014. In the winter of 2011, this large building was transformed into a giant Christmas tree during the construction. It was hard work to put Christmas-colored light bulbs on a 100-story building, and it was also hard work to return the normal light bulbs once the Christmas season was over. Constructors strived to celebrate Christmas by showing the biggest Christmas tree to the New Yorker. I felt the feeling of "You Only Live Once" by that celebration.
I began taking a serious interest in photography starting in 2010.
"Portrait Photography " is one of the main themes for my photographic activities.
Although I am not formally trained, I love taking photographs and spending time with my friends and family.
I do hope you enjoy my work and can identify with the sincerity and beauty of my images.
Thank you,
Shintaro Ueyama
