I
left Tokyo in 1979 to take photographs in Paris for a Japanese photo-agency,
I have not lived in Japan since.
I set up house and home in Paris spending 10 years working with Japanese
clients coordinating commercials, television projects, stills catalogues
and the like. I moved to Australia in 1989 and formed Via international
primarily as a Production company to facilitate japanese car commercials
in Australia and New Zealand.
The majority of my work is in Australia and New Zealand, nevertheless
I have also worked in Europe and the USA recently assisting the local
production support.
I am known in the Japanese film production community for my work on
car commercials and have been fortunate enough to have been involved
in some of the most successful campaigns aired on Japanese television.
