I've been working as a professional photographer in Niseko Japan for the last five years.
My passion for photography started at high school in Canberra Australia where I had one of those inspiring teachers whose lessons stay with you forever. After high school I had the choice to study either photography or music, I choose music and completed a degree in classic guitar performance at the Victorian college of the arts in Melbourne.
Just before I turned 30 in 2002 I decided it was time to travel and chose Japan to learn the language, culture and experience life in another country. I took a job in Hakodate on the north island of Hokkaido as an assistant English teacher. The job gave me the opportunity to realise my ambitions for traveling to Japan and also share part of my Australian life and experiences with the people I met in Hakodate. It was at this time that I got back into photography and made the leap into the world of digital photography buying a laptop and digital SLR. The internet allowed me to study and develop at my own pace and shooting digitally allowed me to practice with out wasting film.
My first experience of Niseko was in December 2002 and I fell in love with the area straight away, after that I visited as often as I could and started shooting around the area for fun. While I was still teaching in Hakodate in early 2005 a friend in Niseko started asking me for pictures of the area to use commercially. The first image I ever sold was a picture of some friends drinking in a bar that was used by the resort to promote Niseko as an international ski resort, my career as a professional photographer was born.
I started selling more images and by the time I moved to Niseko in July 2006 my photography business was up and running and was immediately commissioned to shoot architectural and stock photography for local businesses. I also had a full time “day job” but after 18 months of balancing the two I was able to go full time with my photography business in January 2008 and have been working hard at it ever since.
Since then I have continued to develop my photographic skills in the fields of architectural, stock photography, 360 degree panoramic and winter action for magazines in Japan and internationally.
For the 2010/11 winter season I will be exhibiting and selling limited prints of my work at the Momiji Gallery in Niseko, if you are in the area please come and take a look.
Dennis Stock was born in 1928 in New York City. At the age of 17, he left home to join the United States Navy. In 1947 he became an apprentice to Life magazine photographer Gjon Mili and won first prize in Life's Young Photographers contest. He joined Magnum in 1951.
Stock managed to evoke the spirit of America through his memorable and iconic portraits of Hollywood stars, most notably James Dean. From 1957 to 1960 Stock made lively portraits of jazz musicians, including Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Sidney Bechet, Gene Krupa, and Duke Ellington for his book Jazz Street. In 1968 Stock took a leave of absence from Magnum to create Visual Objectives, a film production company, and he shot several documentaries. In the late 1960s he captured the attempts of California hippies to reshape society according to ideals of love and caring. Then throughout the 1970s and 1980s he worked on color books, emphasizing the beauty of nature through details and landscape. In the 1990s he went back to his urban origins, exploring the modern architecture of large cities. His recent work was mostly focused on the abstraction of flowers.
Stock generated a book or an exhibition almost every year since the 1950s. He taught numerous workshops and exhibited his work widely in France, Germany, Italy, the United States, and Japan. He worked as a writer, director, and producer for television and film, and his photographs have been acquired by most major museum collections. He served as president of Magnum's film and new media division in 1969 and 1970.
