In this April, I met up with Sakura Fantasma, an artist whose work I’ve been following on Instagram for some time. The meeting resulted in a series of photos which you can see now on German art/fashion magazine Kaltblut.

Lomography wrote an article about the pouches featuring my images by Japanese brand ear PAPILLONNER. You can read how I got to photograph them with my beloved Diana Mini.

I’m delighted to announce that Japanese fashion brand ear PAPILLONNER has made these tote bags and pouches featuring my images. They will be available at their stores across Japan from the 26th. Can’t wait to come across people carrying one of these in town soon!!

Iconology, a curated art & photography website featured Winter Wonderland. You have probably seen all the images by now but their website had really a cool design, making it the best place online to admire the series!

I’d wanted to get my work featured on Feature Shoot for about two years. Finally, I made it with my latest series ‘Winter Wonderland’!

I’m thrilled to announce that I have collaborated with Japanese fashion brand Ear Papillonner for their Spring/Summer 2013 collection.
Come March, my work will be featured in the collection catalogue and poster etc, bringing in ‘that summer feeling’ to their stores across Japan. But this collaboration goes beyond that (and that’s the most exciting part of it). I cannot wait to reveal it all in due course!!
As a teaser, the brand will distribute a strictly-limited tabloid at their stores from today. There might be a hint or two about our collaboration in the paper.
Happy New Year from Kobe, Japan! !
Wishing everyone the best year they’ve ever had. Let’s hope for lots of good music, films, memories & photographs!
Personally, I’d like to make lots of inspiring images. I believe it allows me to connect with so many inspiring people out there (it did in 2012 but I want more!). Nothing else makes me happier than making things happen through my photography. I look forward to seeing you somewhere in the world in 2013!
Dream alone, wake together.

p.s I created a Facebook page dedicated to my photography. Your ‘like’ would be much appreciated!
