Biography

With the goal of creating truly unique scenes, I specialize in underwater photography taken both domestically and internationally, primarily around the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture. I hope to share with you the natural underwater scenes I capture through my exceptional skills and careful, environmentally conscious photography. Furthermore, I possess the technical ability to shoot in a wide range of styles and am not bound by any preconceived notions about the aesthetic of my work, allowing me to accommodate a variety of requests.
