    Honorable Mention in Nature / Underwater

Every year from January to March, I face whales in Amami Oshima, Japan, looking for encounters with whales. On this day, a baby humpback whale swam towards us. While receiving light with a big fin... I suddenly met his eyes. It was a miracle encounter for me.

After the age of 40, he started scuba diving at the recommendation of a friend. Fascinated by the beautiful underwater world, he wants to convey the beauty to people who do not yet know the underwater world, so he self-taught to take underwater photographs. From the spring of 2020, he started full-scale activities as an underwater photographer as a freelancer.
