In the heart of Tokyo’s Asakusa district, amidst the quiet drizzle of rain, I captured a moment that embodies tenderness and connection. The photograph depicts a young couple walking closely under a large umbrella. The man gently wraps his arm around the woman’s waist, guiding her through the wet streets with an air of care and protection. Their silhouettes against the rain-soaked cityscape evoke a sense of intimacy and warmth, a fleeting yet timeless reflection of love and compassion.

I am a photographer specializing in monochrome imagery, focusing on capturing the unique interplay of light and shadow in urban environments. My signature series, "Noir Tokyo," explores the quiet moments and dynamic energy of Tokyo through simple, bold compositions and high-contrast tones. This series has received international recognition, with 31 awarded works on 1x.com and a Bronze Winner title in the Special-Street Photography category at TIFA2024.

In addition to my personal projects, I work in commercial photography, specializing in product and portrait photography. Using studio workflow
