About.

After working as a professional videographer in the private yachting industry and travelling worldwide, I stepped away to build something of my own in Japan.

Now based here, I’m developing a body of photographic work while documenting the process through cinematic storytelling on YouTube.

Half Japanese and raised in England, I experience Japan from both inside and outside. Living here has become a way of understanding the country more deeply, not only through its landscapes and culture, but through a more personal connection to my roots.

Photography for me is both craft and exploration. It’s a way of learning the country more deliberately, one place at a time.
