OYAKO
SUPER PHOTO SESSION
Clips from Oyako Day Super Photo Session.
BOOK
The Japanese word oyako is a combination of the characters for parent and child. It is unique in that it combines the parent and child into one unit, stressing the group rather than the individual, and reflecting the vertical link between generations. The parent is the link to the past; the child, a bridge to the future.

TOHOKU
The 3.11 earthquake and tsunami destroyed homes, took loved ones, and left many with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. I hope these family photos will serve as a reminder for them and to everyone how people and communities might support each other to overcome their difficulties and move forward.















OYAKO FOREVER
A documentary that was taken in Tohoku following The Great East Japan Earthquake. This program focuses on families that I meet and photograph there. It was aired on NHK World marking the 1 year memorial since the disaster.
