NEW WORKS

Chiba, JP (Jan. 2026)

People in the landscape

Recently, I have been focusing on the relationship between people and natural landscapes.
Through these scenes, I aim to express 
a sense of story and connection. I also want to explore 
what makes a landscape captivating places 
that people feel drawn to and want to visit. 

Landscape

I continue to refine my landscape photography 
because of my passion for searching for 
the most beautiful places and moments in the world.
I take photographs when I feel most deeply moved by nature. Most of my works are minimally edited, 
as I want to convey the true beauty of what I see.

Cityscape

My cityscape photography is 
shaped by extensive experience shooting in Tokyo.
My work is guided by my ideas and emotions, 
capturing the structural beauty of buildings, 
streets, people, and the interplay of light and shadow.

Avitation

I also photograph aviation because of my love for it.
As with my landscape work, I aim to create photo stories that evoke a sense of a dreamlike journey with aircraft.
I carefully watch for beautiful moments during flights and spend time photographing near airports to capture them.

Original Photo Books

From editing to publication, I work independently and dedicate a great deal of time to each photo book.
Thanks to a publishing company in Japan, the books are printed on exceptionally high-quality paper.
