It’s C time

I capture the delicious moments that make people say, “That looks amazing!”
With careful attention to light, texture, and movement, I aim to create photos that feel both inviting and warm.
Through my work, I hope to bring a little happiness and excitement into everyday life.

Winning photos

This photograph freezes the elegant moment of red wine being poured into a glass. The black background creates a strong contrast, making the rich red tones of the wine stand out. Carefully controlled lighting highlights the texture of the liquid, the clarity of the glass, and the dynamic motion of the pour.

Bubbles rising inside the wine add a sense of freshness and movement, while the composition keeps the focus simple and refined. A clean, minimal setup with high-speed capture turns an everyday moment into a visually striking image

117th Collection

This image of Chita Craft Umeshu showcases the artistry of product photography through meticulous lighting and composition. A smooth gradient blue background is used as a backlight, allowing the amber color of the plum liqueur to glow with clarity and warmth. A subtle top-side light highlights the curvature of the glass bottle, adding dimension and transparency.

The bold red and gold label is carefully illuminated to enhance its vibrancy without overpowering the overall balance. Light falloff and shadow control are precisely managed to retain the richness of the bottle’s texture while ensuring the label remains crisp and legible.

Positioned on a dark base, the bottle casts a soft, grounded shadow that adds depth and visual stability. This composition masterfully balances color contrast, material expression, and spatial tension, making it a standout example of how photography can convey both product quality and brand story in a single frame.

117th Collection

The meat's deliciousness spreads with a sizzling sound.
Whenever a knife is inserted, the aroma of the meat bursts forth with the steam that rises from the meat.
The heat and the moment interweave to create a "realistic sense of deliciousness," which cannot be achieved by simply grilling the meat.
The instinct of appetite is awakened with each slice.

115th Collection

The moment when the ice falls, trapped in silence.
The purity brought by the gin "Wabijin". A moment of soft lighting and floating ice. It is a piece that touches all five senses, evoking not only sight, but also sound, smell, and even taste.

115th Collection

A dance of coffee and milk emerging from the darkness.
Capturing the moment when the two liquids intertwine, creating a mesmerizing pattern inside the glass.

114th Collection

To capture the delicate texture of the cheesecake and the fine sprinkle of powdered sugar, a dark-toned set and soft lighting from an angle above were used.
The result is a visually rich image that highlights the dessert’s moist surface and dimensionality.
