Welcome to Shizen Japan.

Hello, Michael here. I am primarily a wildlife and landscape photographer based in Japan. I have been doing photography since I was a young boy, starting out with film cameras and then making the swap to digital a number of years ago now.

In case your wondering why my site name is called Shizen Japan, it is because Shizen actually means “natural”, and all the images on my site are of natural things or things that are very old or of beauty.

I have literally hundreds of thousands of images from all the years I have spent taking photos around different parts of Japan, which I showcase on this site to show people not familiar with Japan some of the natural beauty that exists in this exotic country. Some of the images on this site date back almost 20 years.

Unfortunately I have way too many images to showcase them all on here so I have just added a few to give you an idea of what Japan is really like. Having said that I will continue to add images to this site all the time so please check back on a regular basis.

I spend many hours photographing various birds, insects, animals, wild flowers and landscapes both in my local area and other areas of Japan. Please click on the links below to go to the relevant sections of interest.

NEW! June 2022 This is a newly built site I have totally redesigned and built this site from the ground up, to make it easier to navigate and view my photography as well as making it easier to purchase products with just a few simple clicks.I have also added new services which can be found below. It will take time to transfer images that were on my old site on to here. Please bare with me while I slowly increase the number of images.
