Inspired by the traditional Japanese concept of “Hare and Ke,” my work focuses on the boundaries between the extraordinary and the everyday, as well as the conscious and the subconscious. I employ a candid, snapshot-based approach, pursuing the purity of direct documentation without staging.
Believing that the essence of life resides not in “decisive moments” but in subtle gestures and the nuances of emotion, I press the shutter to hand over fragments of the “now” to the future.
My work spans a wide range of fields, including documentary, portraiture, and architecture.
Note: Hare and Ke — A traditional Japanese dichotomy representing the dual nature of life: Hare refers to the extraordinary—ceremonial, public, or “onstage” moments—while Ke represents the ordinary, quiet, and private flow of everyday existence.

写真家。大阪生まれ。
日本に古来から存在する「ハレとケ」という思想に着想を得て、表舞台と日常、あるいは意識と非意識の境界を注視する。
演出を排したスナップ的手法を用いストレートに記録することを追求し、作品を制作している。
決定的な瞬間ではなく、些細な動作や感情の機微にこそ人生の本質が宿ると捉え、「今」という断片を未来へ手渡すためにシャッターを切る。
ドキュメンタリー、ポートレート、建築など、活動の領域は多岐にわたる。
