Toshitaka Oku

Born and raised in Japan. As a photographer educated in US. After graduating from university in Japan with engineering degree move to US to study photography. On one side I am a commercial photographer specialized in automotive. On the other side fine art photographer with strong influence of Japanese art. Biggest inspiration of my art Katushika Hokusai's work. I find beauty and humor in everyday life. My job is to find them and share them with the world. I am attracted to simplicity, color and light. Working many years as automotive photographer helped me develop my fine art work style.

Graduated from Tokai University in Japan with nuclear engineering degree. Studied photography at Washtenaw Community College in Michigan. But my real education in photography is working as an assistant to wold class automotive photographer and working as a photographer in the filed.
