Portrait

Portraits are moments of presence. Rather than likeness, I look for the subtle dialogue between the subject and the surrounding space — a glance, a pause, a fleeting emotion. Each portrait is an encounter shaped by light and trust.

That’s how the light gets in 

I photograph people in relation to place - architecture, landscape, and everyday environments.

Seasons

Early fall shoot in Sapporo. I’m open to simple, relaxed, customised sessions (no heavy posing), focused on atmosphere and one’s relationship to place rather than “photoshoot” aesthetics in Sapporo and other places in Japan.
