I’m a book designer and amateur photographer in Tokyo, with a blowfish poison scientist background I’d rather keep secret, but because you will find out one way or another (they all do) I’ll mention it anyway. In a way I’m juggling the arts and science.
What connects both science and art on a fundamental level? Curiosity and experimentation.
Ever since I started to focus on (photo/art)book design professionally, I truly returned to enjoying doing photography for myself again – as an amateur.
I also love doing things by hand, like writing by hand in ink on paper, and crafting photo and art books, from sheet paper to bound book. I love paper and ink.
You can find me on twitter, Ello, facebook and instagram. I use these to varying degrees, and in a serious love/hate relationship.
