Hi, I'm Ryu, a photographer/digital artist, based in New Zealand.

I was a seakayak guide in Abel Tasman National Park from 1999 to 2008, and worked for the local government from 2008 to 2017. But now I own a cafe (https://www.facebook.com/papernautiluscafe), which is used as my own art gallery. Yeah, I've got lots of hats, hahaha. Oh, I am originally from Japan and immigrated back in 1998.

Anyway, my main forcus is photography and digital art. Check my portfolio website out!
