Who Am I?
I take photographs of everyday things — objects, environments, and quiet moments that often go unnoticed. The approach is candid and subjective. Rather than aiming for perfection or elaborate stories, I try to observe things as they are and capture them with honesty and restraint.My work is shaped by the Japanese concepts of 侘寂 (wabi-sabi) and 謙虚 (kenkyo). There’s a natural draw toward textures, stillness, and the imperfect — surfaces that are faded, broken, or slightly off-center. These qualities often hold more presence than anything refined. I try not to impose too much of myself on the image. Instead, I let the subject carry its own weight and meaning.Photography started as a casual interest. It began with photos of my Honda Civic, exploring light, reflections, and framing. Not long after, I started photographing my Fumofumo Touhou plushies by GIFT. It wasn’t just for fun — it came from an appreciation for the culture and the community that surrounds them. I found it quietly moving how people from Japan, Latin America, the U.S., and around the world took their Fumos on small adventures. It wasn’t about spectacle — just soft moments: a bench, a quiet sidewalk, the comfort of a familiar companion. That kind of sincerity left an impression and reminded me how wabi-sabi and kenkyo appear in daily life — in modest gestures, quiet companionship, and gentle attention.Outside of photography, I work in IT support and operations. Life is kept simple. I enjoy calm routines and surrounding myself with things that reflect the values I respect. Japanese culture and philosophy have been a steady influence — especially the ideas of 生き甲斐 (ikigai), 謙虚 (kenkyo), and 侘寂 (wabi-sabi). They influence not just the work I make, but how I choose to live and see the world.I also find inspiration in anime, Touhou, and video games — not just as entertainment, but as expressions of design, emotion, and subtle atmosphere. There’s little separation between what I enjoy and what I create; both come from the same mindset. I stay close to what feels sincere, even if it’s small.That same feeling carries into other parts of life — taking a quiet drive with no destination, spending time in nature, or camping under an open sky. Even something as ordinary as walking through the neighborhood or noticing how the light falls across a familiar street can hold meaning. These moments aren’t dramatic, but they feel grounding. They create space to think, observe, and appreciate what’s present. Whether through media or daily experience, I’m drawn to the kind of simplicity that doesn’t ask for attention but stays with you anyway.I tend to be reserved and direct. There’s no intention to prove anything with this work. It’s simply a reflection of how I see — quiet, personal, and unembellished. If something resonates, I’m thankful. If not, I’m still glad the moment was noticed.
