1988年千葉県生まれ。千葉県在住。2013年より本格的に写真を始める。写真を始めたきっかけは旅行で訪れた長崎の夜景を綺麗に形で残したかったため。

Born in Chiba Prefecture in 1988 and currently residing there, he began delving into photography in 2013. His initial inspiration to take up photography stemmed from a desire to beautifully immortalize the nighttime vistas of Nagasaki (Japan) that he experienced during a trip.
Subsequently, using both film and digital cameras, he became enchanted by the fleeting transformations of landscapes and the changes that manifest over longer durations. He has continuously captured these moments with his lens. Over time, he developed his photographic philosophy that “photography’s allure lies in its ability to focus on subtle changes” and “the pinnacle of photographic expression is in prints.” Self-taught, he embarked on crafting artworks with printing as their primary objective.
He has also continually expanded his expressive range by incorporating drone-based shooting styles and techniques like time-lapse photography. Currently, his primary focus lies in capturing diverse landscapes he encounters during his travels, always challenging himself to photograph from multifaceted perspectives and themes.
His recent accolades include:
Excellence Award at the 47th Japan Professional Photographers Society (JPS) Open Submission
3rd Place in the Night category at the International Photography Awards (IPA) 2022 (Professional)
Shortlisted in the Travel category at the Sony World Photography Awards (SWPA) 2023 (Open Competition).
