This photograph was captured at Nihonbashi, where the setting sun pierced through the gaps in the elevated highway. In this moment, I captured a family of three, including a stroller, passing by, beautifully silhouetted against the light. I’m passionate about monochrome photography, and this image showcases strong contrasts, highlighting the simplicity and power of black and white. My aim is to redefine street photography, focusing on moments like these where light and shadow create a striking visual narrative.

I am a Tokyo-based photographer exploring the relationship between light and shadow in urban spaces. I capture fleeting moments where energy and solitude intersect, using monochrome photography to emphasize the depth and contrast of the city. My signature series, NOIR TOKYO, portrays people illuminated by the city's lights and shadows, expressing the dynamic tension between motion and stillness. This series has been recognized in Monochrome Awards and 1x.com. Through my photography, I seek new ways to interpret the world, blending realism and abstraction to create compelling visual narrative.
