February's Fukujusou flower ink painting style Print

Thank you for viewing my profile. I am a photographer living in Japan and an artist who creates art photos based on my works. Living in Shizuoka Prefecture, I naturally encountered photography and cameras. When I first started taking pictures, I used a digital camera, and on my days off, I would visit botanical gardens in the prefecture and photograph camellias and other plants. After purchasing a mirrorless single-lens camera, I became more serious about photography, and since 2021, I have become interested in Japanese wildflowers and have been actively traveling to Shizuoka, Aichi, and Nagano prefectures. At first, I was doing photography as an extension of my hobby, but as the number of opportunities for my followers to evaluate me on SNS increased, I decided that I wanted to make photography a full-fledged career, which is where I am today. Japanese wildflowers are distributed in a variety of environments, from flatlands to alpine zones. I think spring and summer are the most important seasons for photographing wildflowers. Katakuri and other species bloom profusely from mid-March to April. When I shoot while talking to the wildflowers, I feel the joy of the arrival of spring and the dynamism of life, which makes me very happy and excited. The reason why I go shooting even when I climb mountains in summer is because I want to convey to many people the beauty of alpine plants that can only be seen for a few days. I feel that being able to be moved by the brilliance of life is the real pleasure of photography. I would be happy if people all over the world could learn about the natural beauty of their own countries through my works.
