I’m a Tokyo, Japan & Southern California-based photographer and filmmaker with 18 years of experience working across editorial, commercial, and corporate worlds.

My background is rooted in photojournalism — covering news, sports, and global events — which shaped the way I see, anticipate moments, and tell stories. Over time, that evolved into working closely with brands, agencies, and organizations who value imagery that feels human, intentional, and honest.

I’ve worked with clients including Google, Spotify, Dentsu, Saatchi & Saatchi, Panasonic, Uniqlo, Getty Images, Associated Press, Agence France Presse and EPA Images, among others.

Whether documenting a global summit, crafting a brand narrative, or creating portraits that feel personal and real, my focus is always the same: clarity, emotion, and story.

When I’m not working, I’m usually chasing light, traveling between Tokyo and California, or spending time with my family.
