Thanks for visiting my site!

I’m a freelance cinematographer living in New York. I have shot over 20 music videos, over 10 documentaries, 10 narrative shorts and countless projects for promos, events, weddings, dance, fashion, red-carpet, educational, corporate, live-music, EPK, interviews and how-to-video. I own full HD production gear (HVX200A) + HD DSLR package (Canon 60D). Click HERE to see a list of my equipment.

My schedule is pretty flexible since I’m a 100% freelancer. I eat almost anything except pizza, lazania, McDonalds and Burger King. FYI, I work better especially when I eat rice. I DON’T WORK FOR CLIENTS WHO DON’T WANT TO PAY ME OR CLIENTS WHO DON’T WANT TO GIVE ME A LUNCH BREAK OR CLIENTS WHO WANT ME TO WORK WHILE I’M EATING. I need to sleep 6-hours/day, at least. I DON’T WORK WITH CLIENTS WHO DON’T WANT ME TO SLEEP AFTER WORK. I work best when I sleep more than 8-hours/day, FYI. I’m a good cinematographer and also regular human being that needs food and rest. I’m not a super filmmaker machine.

I’m originally from Japan, moved to New York in 1996 and have worked on numerous amount of film/video/media projects as an editor first, and then did transition to cinematographer about 5 years ago. My passion is yoga, meditation, traveling and making films & videos with nice people.

Feel free to contact me if you have a good project. Let’s film and cut!
