About

Kenjiro Asaki (朝木健次郎) / Progressive Art Photographer He was born in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan. Self-taught in photography, he became a test photographer for Panasonic compact cameras in 2008, and began freelancing the following year. He mainly captures fantastic underwater landscapes and dangerous landscapes lurking in the snowy mountains in winter with his unique sensibility. He believes in expressing his work through one-shot photography without relying on compositing, as he values his feelings for the scene and composition when he release the shutter of each image. In fields other than natural landscapes, he pursues a variety of expressions of fireworks, a traditional Japanese culture. Kenjiro Asaki has received numerous awards and accolades in photo contests in Japan, Europe, and other countries. Recently, he was selected to represent Japan in the Nature category of the World Photographic Cup, a world competition in the professional photography industry. In recent years, he has exhibited his work in European countries such as Germany, Italy, and the UK, and since last year, he has been actively participating in exhibitions in the Metaverse space. In the commercial field, he is an exclusive photographer for "amana images", providing mainly landscape photography.
