Junsei Motojima first photo book "Jun"

Photographer Masuda Sara captures the actor Junsei Motojima as he is.
From 18 to 19 years old. This was the season when I started my career as an actor.
This is the first photo book that captures moments that will never come back, captured over the course of about a year and a half.

Junsei Motojima, a young actor who is currently attracting a lot of attention for playing the main character, Ichinose Hōtarō, in "Kamen Rider Gatchard," has released his first photo book.
The photographer was Ayaka Masuda, who has been creating works since her teens and is now expanding her range of activities beyond just being a photographer and filmmaker.
This is a gem of a book that was shot over a period of about a year and a half, from February 2023, shortly after she joined the agency, through the filming of Kamen Rider, and until August 2024, just after Kamen Rider wrapped up, capturing the real Motojima with Masuda's sensibility.
This book contains over 80 carefully selected shots from the vast amount of footage taken over a year and a half, laid out in the order they were taken, and is a photo collection that allows you to get a real sense of the changes in Motojima's face as they change.
This is a permanent edition that captures the pure, unwavering and straightforward nature of teenagers. It also includes a long interview in which she talks about everything from her upbringing to her current thoughts.

Comment from Junsei Motojima
To be honest, a year ago I felt like a very weak person, and I didn't want to admit that I was weak.
However, over the past year, I have experienced not only joy, fun, and a sense of accomplishment, but also emotions such as conflict and regret through numerous experiences, and thanks to having Masuda filming me over that year, I believe I have been able to reveal my true self, including my weaknesses.
My facial expressions are completely different too. I hope that through this photobook you can see me as I am and see my growth!

■ Comment from photographer Sara Masuda
I had the opportunity to photograph Junsei Motojima for a year and a half.
These photos document his dramatic transformation.
I think this big change is possible only because he has faced the present and continued to work hard.
The weakness, strength and coolness that you showed us during the final shoot
I don't think I would have been able to see this a year and a half ago.
Please enjoy looking at the photos to see the changes in Motojima as he ran so hard.
