The reason for becoming a camera kid is different for everyone. However, most people start out as a camera kid because they like cameras. However, Mr. Take was not interested in the camera itself, and it was an encounter with Suzuka Nakamoto that triggered his interest.

Takehiro: "I got into idols through Perfume. I went to visit Actors School Hiroshima, the school where Perfume was enrolled, and was shocked when I met Suzuka Nakamoto. At first, I thought about capturing her in a video, but it didn't feel right to me. Then I thought I had no choice but to preserve this in photographs, so I picked up my camera."
Suzuka was changing lives even before she became well known (2008).

The topic reminded me of an article on nanapi from 2015 about a photographer タケさん:
カメラ小僧になるきっかけはひとそれぞれです。けれど、多くはカメラが好きだから、という入り口から入るのではないでしょうか？しかし、タケさんはカメラ自体には興味がなかったようで、きっかけとなったのは、ある強烈な出会いでした。
中元すず香さんとの出会い

タケさん「アイドル自体はPerfumeから入ったんです。それでアクターズスクール広島というPerfumeが在籍していたスクールに見学に行ったら、中元すず香ちゃんに出会って衝撃を受けました。最初は、ビデオで彼女の姿を収めようと思ったんですけど、自分の中でしっくりきませんでした。そこで、これは写真で残していくしかないなと思って、カメラを手に取りました。」
