Thankfully, 2 photos from the series ‘WA’tmosphere has been featured in the Street Photography Awards 2023 selected by the editors of LensCulture.
Daisuke was born in Fukushima, and raised in New York, Luxembourg, Brussels and Tokyo. This nomadic life, spending most of his childhood abroad, inevitably aroused his curiosity on other countries as well as longing for his home country, Japan. Discovering how diverse our world is and finding out that his homeland is one of a kind remains the source of his inquisitive mind to see the world, which now leads to his travel and street photography.
Daisuke started his career as a photographer on the cruise ship, and spent six years exploring the coastline of the globe as an onboard photographer of Nippon Maru and Princess Cruises. During his career on the ships, he has visited more than 150 ports in 56 countries around the world. He is a full member of Japan Travel Photographer Association since 2018.
“keep wandering
the world is limited
keep wondering
the world is unlimited”
This is the idea of my photography and
the motivation to keep shooting travel and street scenes.
The world is limited in physical ways.
Nowhere is unreachable and you never get lost unless you stop moving.
So why not wandering around and open our world.
An extraordinary place might be one step away.
The world is unlimited in our mind.
Every scene is full of discovery as long as you don’t lose your curiosity.
So why not wondering about and find a new world.
An extraordinary scene might be in our everyday life.
