Silent Samurai
I decided to add my one celebrity photo to my portfolio. This photo was taken at Kyoto Movie Studios in Japan. The photo was taken while they did a demonstration of how they would direct samurai films/T.V shows back in the day. The entire study is old Japan with actors and actresses walking around as geisha, samurai, shougun and more. Once a week they have a real geisha walk through the studio as part of their show. The photo is of 福本 清三, Fukumoto Seizō, who is a Japanese actor. He was the 'silent samurai' in the Tom Cruise movie 'The Last Samurai'. He's started in many Japanese dramas. On this day he participated in the television re-enactment of a television show. While he was off to the side with some other fellow actors I managed to catch him looking my way. I had my D200 )Since the replaced with a D700)and my trusty 70-200mm 2.8f lens on. He stayed there looking my way long enough to capture a few pictures. A very nice man.
