Bokeh circles are based on natural light sources. Sometimes bokeh circles add a touch of brilliance to works of Japanese four seasons. The piece I chose as my representative work was taken in the frigid cold of Hokkaido. During the season when the lake freezes over, gases emitted from fallen leaves at the bottom of the lake are gradually trapped in the ice. This is called the ice bubbles, and I took this rare piece as art, which can only be seen for a short period of time, when it gets cold enough for the lake to freeze over and before the snow piles up and makes it invisible.

This is Studio O'nos, established in August 2020. We are a small photo studio in Fukuoka prefecture. Under the slogan "Changing the future with photos", we are selling panels of such photos that will heal and cheer up the customers who decorate them. The idea of "with photos" rather than "by photos" is that our photos are a supporting role, and the main role is, of course, each customer. A single photo selected by the customer will move you. If you change your mind, you change your behavior. If you change your behavior, you change your future. We believe that it is our meaning to exist.
