| Profile |
| Hiroshi
Takano, |
| Aquatic
Photojournalist |
Born in the
Kansai area of Japan, Hiroshi Takano has devoted nearly
30 years of his professional life to photography and
songwriting based on "water" themes. His own
photo agency, "Aqua Image Inc." in Osaka,
enjoys a fine reputation for producing high quality
photographs of water-related natural scenes, and these
photos are distributed by photo agencies in over 30
countries.
All life comes from water. That's why Takano feels that
it's so crucially important to sensitize people to the
plight of our jeopardized oceans and other bodies of
water. Global warming is his strong concern, and Takano
has visited not only Japan but also Europe, North America
and tropical islands in the South Pacific to photograph
the natural beauty in these regions and to write songs
about his experiences there.

photo essays, following the themes of natural environments,
travel and marine life, foods, etc. |
