Japanese Photographer Hayato Matsumoto Held a Creative Meeting for EURASIA KIDS

Hayato Matsumoto is a media mentor of the project EURASIA KIDS. At the meeting, he told kids about himself, his family and his favorite business - photography.

Hayato was born in Kazakhstan and studied in Sverdlovsk. At the end of the last century, he and his family moved to Japan. For many years, he lives and works in the Land of the Rising Sun. Hayato's daughter Dayana also took part at the meeting.

Photos by Hayato Matsumoto talk about people and their stories. In one of his projects, the photo film “Doves of Hope - Defenders of Israel”, Hayato told about girls who serve in the Israeli army. Young defenders, yesterday's schoolgirls are ready to protect their homeland at any moment.

The photographer shared with EURASIA KIDS how the shooting takes place, whether a photographer needs a goal, whether the world needs photos. How does the Temple in Jerusalem live at night? How to capture the silence and majesty of nature in a photo? The children learned many things of the conversation.
