Abstract

It is not easy for the subject to understand the photographer's intentions. It is rare for the intentions of both parties to coincide. In photography, communication between the photographer and the model determines the outcome of the photograph. Taking this randomness for granted, we take simultaneous photographs using multiple cameras. Publication is subject to the approval of the portrait rights holder and to the assumption that no legal violations will occur. [Solution] To avoid any strange feeling on the part of the viewer of the photograph, the camera is installed and hidden inside an object that does not look out of place in the background. By using multiple cameras to take photographs from multiple angles and positions, it is possible to discover and record unexpected aspects of the subject's appearance. This method can also be used to record changes in the view of a building over time, or to check the condition of a building under construction at each photographed time.
