I started doing photography in highschool informally, learning B&W darkroom techniques, Ansel Adams’ zone technique, etc.

MUSICA

In college I was introduced to a short-lived Seattle-based music newspaper where I photographed concerts, music festivals and club openings.

Self-published photobooks

After that I photographed regularly when I traveled, and also did shoots of friends occasionally.

Indigo (2002)

Indigo was my first photobook, printed in the School of Art computer lab and bound at Kinko’s. Only one copy was printed and the computer lab changed their policy, so that no other student will monopolize the printers to print entire books.

Maroon (2004)

Twelve Days in Japan (2007)

Europa (2009)

People & Places (2010)

Portraits (2012)
