Ikuo Nakamura Underwater photographer. Born in Akita Prefecture in 1945. When he was 20 years old, he began diving and taking underwater photographs. After working as a professional cameraman for a specialized journal, he began to work freelance. At present, he is the Representative Director of SQUALL Co., Ltd. a photographic production company specializing in marine photography. He energetically seeks out material both domestically and internationally and has published many books which have attracted a great deal of attention. He has boldly tackled topics with a strong social theme, including not only his life work devoted to Tokyo Bay, but also Ishigakijima Island, Shiraho, Okushiri, Isahayawan and other sites of severe pollution. As a result, he has established a firm reputation as a marine photographer journalist. Again, he is highly estimated in the fields of commercials, dramatic film and high vision images. At the same time, he has been actively conveying the charm of the ocean through lectures, publications and television. |
