Biography

Hello! I am an extraordinary photographer, far from ordinary, born in 1987 in Osaka, Japan, my deep passion for photography was ignited at an early age and an unbreakable bond was formed with my camera. My unwavering dedication to mastering the art of photography has always pushed the boundaries of creativity. In the vast expanse of this world, I seek to capture the harmonious fusion of design, reality, and beauty. Through my work, I am a conduit for your vision, infusing your life and relationships with the desires and serenity of the heart. Richard Avedon's influential work and techniques have been my greatest source of inspiration and shape my current and future work.

Los Angeles, California has been my source of inspiration. Its enchanting beauty and diverse landscape have fueled my artistic vision; in November 2017, I had a very successful gallery exhibition "Made in LA" at Melrose Avenue.

My talent is recognized on a prestigious scale. I was honored to be named one of the top 25 photographers featured in BREED, a renowned New York City fashion information/magazine. In addition, I was awarded a bronze medal in a professional photography contest sponsored by "FUJIFILM," an industry leader in photography and camera systems; this honor, which outshines 10,000 competitors, highlights the quality and innovation that defines my craft.

In parallel with the relentless pursuit of my passion, I have achieved notable milestones in my studio photography and art gallery work. My expertise has been further strengthened by receiving certifications in lighting, light shaping, and product knowledge from Profoto, a leader in light shaping technology.

As I spend my days, I remain unwavering in my commitment to the art of photography, constantly honing my skills and exploring uncharted creative territory. My ultimate goal is to be the catalyst that brings your vision to life, embodying the serenity of your desires and capturing the deep love you hold dear.

Thank you for allowing me to share my latest profile with you. I look forward to the exciting adventures that await you in the fascinating world of photography.
