One of our production team staff, Taisuke Yokoyama, photographer has just released a new book "Saiko-jan!" (means "Awesome!") from SUPER LABO.
Portraits of well-known surfers that Taisuke has photographed are compiled with their thoughts on nature and surfing.
*Message from Taisuke Yokoyama;
"I was so blessed, to have nature all around me, as though it was a given.
I grew up in a town with ocean, and when I started to surf, it allowed me to become aware of many things, including of course, the splendor of the natural world.
The natural environment has changed rapidly over the decades that I’ve lived.
Witnessing this unfold before my eyes, I felt a desire to convey something to others.
I asked friends who share the same thoughts, and surfers I have photographed in the past, to express their feelings on “nature and surfing” in short sentences.
It would be really wonderful, if through their words you will become aware of something."
