About Me

Hi there awesome people!
I'm a travelling professor/portrait photographer/fitness trainer who loves to cook, photograph and write!

I've recently quit my University job and off to see the world , meet new people, shooting portraits and help out at every place I end up in.

Portfolio
The Portraitist is https://www.theportraitist.co.nz/ - Portraits of The Streets

私は子供の頃から日本の文化と日本語が大好きでした。私はポートレート写真家、教授、デザイナーです。ヨーロッパ、ロンドン、オーストラリアを撮影しました。私の親友は日本人でした。私はコーヒーを飲みに会い、私たちの人生の物語を分かち合い、友達になりたい.家事や出費も喜んで手伝います。そして、私は無料の写真撮影と英語教育を行うことができます!

お会いできるのを楽しみにしています
