I photograph quiet moments — not poses.
Moments that hold the air, light, and feeling of your journey.
Snow mountains, culture, and personal stories.
I create photographs you can return to, long after your trip ends.

Philosophy
After moving with my family to Azumino, Nagano, several years have passed.
Living close to the Northern Alps, I am surrounded by the gentle rhythm of the seasons
and the changing quality of light that defines this land.
The people I meet and the landscapes I encounter here stay deeply in my heart.
Photography, to me, is more than a simple record.
It becomes a meaningful memory within someone’s life.
That is why I approach each photograph with care, intention, and quiet attention.
Through a photography session, I hope you may come to appreciate yourself a little more,
or feel a softening in your connection with someone important.
If these moments can be created together, I would be truly grateful.
Please feel free to reach out anytime.
