Ryo Minemizu

Ryo Minemizu, winner of the 5th Annual Nikkei National Geographic Photo Award, has been an underwater photographer for over 20 years, capturing the beauty of microorganisms in the oceans of Japan. He studied tide and wind direction consistantly until he created the perfect method for capturing the larval plankton reaching the coast to transform to their next stage. Although Minemizu considers himself a scientific photographer, he wishes to share the preciousness and beauty of life to a wider audience through this exhibition.
