Bio

Born 1976 in Japan. Studied photography at San Francisco Art Institute with Linda Connor as a mentor. Now, working as a freelance fine art photographer based in Tokyo showing works internationally. The theme of my art is to capture the invisible. All photographs were made with a 8x10" camera, methods of wet plate collodion and gelatin silver print. <Selected Awards> 2013 IPA International Photo Awards - 1st Place in Fine Art Professional Category 2015 PRIX DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE PRIS- Gold Prize in Fine Art Professional Category 2017 PRIX DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE PRIS- Bronze Prize in Fine Art Professional Category 2018 Tokyo International Doto Awards - Bronze Prize in Fine Art professional Category 2021 PRIX DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE PRIS- Silver Prize in Fine Art Professional Category
