”I was born in Tokyo, growing up in a strict and often quietly judged culture.
I didn’t feel comfortable in front of the camera. I didn’t feel free, or confident in myself.

Maybe that’s why I do what I do now.

I believe everyone carries something beautiful within them, even if they don’t see it yet.
My work is about bringing the most out of you, in a way that feels honest and natural.

No matter who you are, you can be seen as beautiful.
That’s the kind of photograph I want to create.”
