This work was created in Hokkaido, located in the north of Japan. On a cold morning with temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees, rainbow-colored diamond dust appeared in the forest. It was a beautiful scene, as if a galaxy had appeared.

It is known that the conditions for seeing diamond dust are very strict. Furthermore, it is desirable for the weather to ease up and cool down, and in theory, this rainbow diamond dust can only be seen just at the beginning and end of winter. However, nature does not always appear as expected. I am happy to have come across this once in a lifetime view.

This is Studio O'nos, established in August 2020. We are a small photo studio in Fukuoka prefecture. Under the slogan "Changing the future with photos", we are selling panels of such photos that will heal and cheer up the customers who decorate them. The idea ​​"with photos" rather than "by photos" is that our photos are a supporting role, and the main role is, of course, each customer. A single photo selected by the customer will move you. If you change your mind, you change your behavior. If you change your behavior, you change your future. We believe that it is our meaning to exist.
