I graduated from Japan's premiere art institution, 
Nihon University, with a degree in photography.
I then began my career as a

freelance photographer in Tokyo 

and shot for such clients as Microsoft, Shiseido, Paloma Picasso, and New Balance.

 

Always looking forward to new challenges,

I moved to Los Angeles in 2001
and shot  product and food photos for a client list that includes Sephora, Beverly Hilton Hotel, Tarina Tarantino,

Tarte,  Paul Mitchell, Panasonic and Asahi Beer.

 

I value and enjoy the process of recognizing the individual beauty of my subjects and creating shots that
capture and emphasize these qualities.

I am always ready to apply this talent towards
achieving the client's vision.
