Hey! I’m a British-Japanese photographer based in South London.
 My practice spans fashion, music, and lifestyle photography, often merging these genres with illustration, zine-making, and other creative techniques to tell visually rich, purposeful stories.
I work as the Visual Lead at the non-profit Youngwilders, where I help shape visual storytelling across campaigns and community-led projects. Alongside this, I’ve worked with creative teams including Crumb Agency and Revolt Model Agency, and contributed to projects for brands such as Adidas, ESEA Music Group, Diageo (Seedlip), Airbnb, Haco Hair & Nails, and Myla&Davis hair salon. I’ve also assisted on shoots for Dr. Martens, Booking.com, and other commercial and editorial projects.
I trained at The Photography Foundation and completed the D&AD Shift London creative advertising programme, where I was part of the winning team for a brief set by Diageo. I was later selected for the D&AD Shift Select internship at creative agency MOX, where I contributed to campaigns for Nike and Flannels.
My work has been featured in Dekopon Magazine (Issues 2 and 4), Polyester Magazine, BRICKS Learner Platform, PRS's M Magazine, and UK Music.
Whether I’m capturing fashion stories, documenting communities, or experimenting with mixed media, my goal is to create work that connects, empowers, and inspires.
