Dr. Akira TAKAUE is an International Award-Winning Photographer. Fortunately experiencing precious opportunities to visit various places around the world for business trip, in which actively would like to pursuit taking impressive worldwide scenery and modern architectures filled with emotional colors or black and white with delicate contrast and vibrant composition.
