This is the night view of Tokyo seen from Eitai Bridge.
I fixed my camera to capture the light trails of the passing houseboats, and spent about an hour and a half photographing them.　A total of 18 images were layered together to create a single piece of work.

I am an amateur photographer currently based in Quebec City, Canada. Originallly from Japan, where I studied fashion design, I have always been drawn to the creative and artistic side of my work.
My main areas of photography are night photography, architecture, cityscapes and street.　Travelling is another passion of mine, and I often take holidays to explore new cities around the world.
