Born and raised in Okinawa, JAPAN, based in New York. He moved to San Francisco in 2002 and got into the photography world. He started learning
from the basic by himself and looking everywhere through the finder.
After spending 4 years in SF, he relocated himself in New York to seek his unknown possibilities and new opportunities. He currently owns his own photo studio "Studio11 New York", focusing on shooting more of his fine arts photography. The philosophy behind his photography is to look into the objects differently. He has his own unique way of looking into the world and capturing the way that brings photography to not just a framed scene but also an artwork. His works can tell a story and stimulate your senses, and before you realize, you are in his world.

写真家 Tokio Kuniyoshi (国吉歳木朗)
沖縄県出身 ニューヨーク在住
彼の作品へのこだわりは、人とは違うものを写す事にある。
我々はファインダーを通じて彼が創造する世界を垣間見る事が出来るが、それは彼が目指す様に独創的でありながらも決して独り善がりなものでなく、見る者の 創造力を掻き立て物語を共有する様に語り掛けてくる。導かれるまま物語を読み解いていくと、いつの間にか彼のドープな世界にどっぷりと引きずり込まれてい ることに気付くだろう。勿論、彼の素晴らしい作品はそのこだわりや感性から生み出されたものであるが、長年に及ぶサンフランシスコ、ニューヨークでの活動 の中で培ってきたフォトグラファーとしての技術によって裏打ちされている。
現在彼はフリーランスの活動に加え、ニューヨークに構えた自身のフォトスタジオも経営する。撮影はアート、風景、イベント、ライフスタイル、ポートレイ ト、ファッションなど多岐に渡る。その中でもファインアートフォトグラフィー等の写真作家としての活動には特に力を入れ多くの人を魅了している。FOR MORE about photographer and photo guide
