Introducing the personalities of Academia.
ACHARYA SULAV
Tokyo Visual Arts Academy (School name changed from vocational school Tokyo Visual Arts in April 2024) | Department of Photography | Nepal
What led you to study abroad/enroll at our school?
In middle school, a friend bought a camera and started taking photos. Because of that influence, I also took photos with my old digital camera. However, that camera is no longer with me, which is very disappointing. When I was attending a Japanese language school, I learned during an information session that Tokyo Visual Arts Academy offered photography courses, and I wanted to continue with photography, so I enrolled.
What kind of studies do you study at school?
I primarily study studio work, darkroom techniques, and commercial photography. I displayed the photos I took as part of my school's lobby exhibition.
What is your favorite class?
I enjoy the commercial photography classes in the studio. I like creating my own world and being able to freely capture the things I love.
Please tell us new things that you have done in the photography department.
I was able to study film photography! Before enrolling, I had only taken digital photos, so I had no experience with film. Now, I actually prefer film over digital.
