Welcome to OkiTog
Professional Mixed Media Promotional and Marketing Solutions Throughout Okinawa and the Ryukyu Islands

Welcome to my website and an overview of the services I offer. I've been involved in the provision of mixed media for the past 25yrs predominantly in a video filming and production-related role. My initial area of expertise when I first took to imaging almost thirty years ago was in wildlife imaging, predominantly underwater. I've attained the peak of broadcast industry recognition with an Emmy Award for contributions to the 'Great Migrations' series produced by National Geographic from an underwater cinematographic capacity. I've also 'placed' in numerous international short film festivals relative to wildlife and time-lapse genres of imaging. I've lived and filmed for many years in places such as Micronesia, South Africa, Belize, Indonesia, Australia, and Mexico, and am currently based on the island of Okinawa, Japan.
Photographically I've contributed to several international publications for wildlife and landscape imaging. I'm supported by several photographic industry manufacturers and pride myself on having become professionally efficient in a multitude of imaging arenas. I teach several photographic genres and hold regular workshops for people looking to take their imaging to the 'next level' as it were in Macro, Time-lapse, Wildlife, High Speed, and Landscape Photography to name a few of the genres I teach.
Having now been based in Okinawa for some seven years, going on eight, I have established myself as one of the few full time expat photographers on the island. Having been hit hard by the COVID pandemic I diversified a little and started producing fragrant candles, the aromas of which are inspired by the natural side of Okinawa. Outside of my 'people photography' I spend a large part of my time rooting around in the jungles of the main island and outer lying islands of Okinawa in my quest for Ocean, landscape, astro, and wildlife imaging. My online presence in that realm can be found under the name SEAWILDEARTH, the three main elements that define my main photographic focus.
Professionally I welcome any challenge within imaging and am open to discussions from any sector looking to do something 'just a little different'. Creative imaging has always been something I look for in any application and with teamwork and communication I believe anything is possible. At the end of the day it comes down to the conviction of the client, their determination transitions into enabling me to apply all of the tools at my disposal to accomplish specific aesthetics resulting in visually impactful media.
Should you feel I could be of assistance to you here in Okinawa or indeed globally then I look forward to discussing options at your leisure. Please note that I do not offer the provision of RAW files from any of my shoots. I cannot control how the imagery is thus edited in such a scenario and I do not wish to have imagery circulating that has been edited to a point that may be detrimental to my brand. Thanks for your understanding.
Cheers,
