On November 24th, actor Tamaki Hiroshi attended a press conference for jewelry brand TASAKI's photo gallery, "Timeless Message Photo Gallery".

Tamaki, who made his photographer debut through this gallery, expressed his joy with: "I started this as a hobby 7 years ago, and this was my first job using a camera, so I'm very happy." While the actor captured many gorgeous shots of nature and wild animals, he commented, "I want to take photos of things I haven't experienced. Taking this opportunity, it would be nice to connect acting with photography."

The gallery opened to commemorate Japan's first haute couture diamond, "TIMELESS MESSAGE". It exhibits photos of 'eternal beauty' that Tamaki took while in South Africa. He commented, "It was half work and half hobby, so it was a strange feeling. It wasn't about taking pictures of whatever I wanted. It had a theme, so I feel I did the best I could."

For the shoot, Tamaki stayed in South Africa for 2-nights and 5-days. He shared that he came across a diamond mine and some beautiful scenery. "I had a pleasant time, and it was the best experience of my life," he confessed.

While holding a diamond equivalent to 250 million yen, Tamaki joked, "One of my dreams is to buy a diamond for someone. Right now, I don't have that kind of partner."

The gallery will be open from November 25th to December 25th in Ginza.
