🥇 Gold at the Tokyo International Foto Awards (TIFA)! 🌋

I am beyond thrilled to announce that I have won my first Gold Award at the Tokyo International Foto Awards (TIFA)! This is an incredibly special milestone as it is my very first year joining this prestigious competition.

My winning piece, "Taal Volcano’s Monochrome Embrace," was captured using a Full Spectrum converted Canon 80D. This setup allowed me to go beyond the visible light spectrum to capture the ethereal, silvery textures of the crater in a way the human eye normally cannot see.

Beyond the Gold, I am deeply honored to have earned several other recognitions this year:
•⁠ ⁠3 Silver Awards 🥈🥈🥈
•⁠ ⁠1 Bronze Award 🥉
•⁠ ⁠7 Honorable Mentions

To have 12 of my works recognized by the TIFA jury in a single year is a dream come true. Thank you to Lilian, Leica, Claire and everyone who has supported my creative journey and my technical experiments with infrared and full-spectrum photography!

Thank you Tokyo International Foto Awards!

🥈 Silver at TIFA: Mount Mayon at Night 🌋✨

I am honored to share that my photograph of Mount Mayon has won again—this time taking home a Silver Award at the recent Tokyo International Foto Awards!

Competing in the Special Categories: Night Photography, this image captures the perfect, symmetrical silhouette of the volcano under the stillness of the night sky. There is something truly spiritual about Mayon when the world goes quiet, and I’m thrilled the TIFA jury recognized that magic.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported my journey with this piece!

Thank you Tokyo International Foto Awards!

🥈 TIFA 2026 Silver Winner: Golden Hour on the Setsuri River 🥶

I am incredibly excited and honored to announce that my photograph, "Golden Hour on the Setsuri River," has won the Silver Award at the Tokyo International Foto Awards (TIFA) 2026!

This image truly represents a dedication to the craft. It involved an early morning drive to the famed Otowa Bridge in Hokkaido, Japan, braving frigid -20C temperatures. The effort was physically demanding my fingers were completely numb after the shoot—but the reward was this breathtaking, ethereal scene.

Capturing the intense golden and pink light mixing with the mist over the frozen river was pure magic. This Silver recognition makes every frozen moment completely worth it!

Thank you Tokyo International Foto Awards !

The Rocks of Joshua Tree
Silver Award, TIFA 2025

Subcategory Winner Fine Art-Landscape

I am absolutely excited and profoundly grateful to announce my very first Silver award at the Tokyo International Foto Awards (TIFA)!
This image holds special significance for me, as it was captured during my very first trip to the USA during the time of Covid.

It also marks my first visit to Joshua Tree National Park and I can genuinely say the landscape was an out-of-this-world experience. Transforming the rugged, prehistoric terrain into this black and white study felt like the perfect way to capture its stark, powerful beauty.

Thank you Tokyo International Foto Awards!

Bronze Award, TIFA 2025

🥉 Bronze Winner at TIFA! A Total Eclipse Triumph! 🌕

I am overjoyed to announce that my photograph, "Totality Amidst Clouds," has won a Bronze Award in the Nature/Astrophotography category at the Tokyo International Foto Awards (TIFA)!

This photograph is incredibly special to me, marking my first Bronze at TIFA. I was fortunate enough to capture this total solar eclipse last year in Texas. Despite the heavy clouds, the moment of totality broke through, allowing me to secure this once-in-a-lifetime shot.

It was also my first time experiencing a solar eclipse with my family, making this achievement even more meaningful. The image represents not just a technical capture, but a profound and unforgettable shared moment.

Thank you to the TIFA jury for this incredible honor!

Thank you Tokyo International Foto Awards!
