About the Award-Winning Works

There are many scenic spots on the main island of Okinawa, but among them, we chose to shoot at a popular spot in Onna Village—a location our studio’s clients frequently request and where we’ve always been welcomed for photo shoots.
Even if you take a photo with your smartphone, it’ll look great, so I think anyone can capture the perfect shot, but the views from a drone are truly breathtaking.

 

What Led Me to Become a Photographer and Videographer

It all started when I was deeply moved by a photo a friend had taken.

 

Future Activities

We’ll do our best to ensure that everyone—Okinawan residents, tourists, and visitors from overseas—enjoys their time here and to convey the charm of Okinawa.
