Today, after the storm, the sea was still restless at Inamuragasaki.
One by one, surfers arrived, watching the horizon, waiting. Then a set rolled in, bigger, louder… and they went for it, like a scene from Point Break.

Great kimono photo session with Philip at an incredible spot near Kamakura. The sky was very cloudy, which gave us a beautifully clear, moody contrast, perfect for striking dark-sky portraits.

Spring arrives in spectacular fashion in Kamakura, as cherry blossoms begin to bloom and transform the city into a sea of soft pink 🌸
It’s the perfect moment to capture timeless memories among the sakura, whether with family, friends, or just for yourself.

Spring arrives in spectacular fashion on Enoshima Island during the Shōnan Enoshima Spring Festival. 🌸

Samurai warriors parade through the streets, and the ancient art of Yabusame horseback archery brings Kamakura’s warrior heritage back to life. Set against the beautiful scenery of Enoshima and Sagami Bay, this two-day festival is a powerful reminder of the region’s rich history and traditions.

A wonderful celebration of spring, culture, and samurai spirit.
