Born in Kawaguchi, Saitama in 1973. Developing a longing for nature, scenery, and the people who lived in such areas since childhood, Fukuda began photography in 1997. Active mainly in the Japanese archipelago, he continues to keep his eye on the abundance of life all around.
The season changes from spring to summer. Cherry blossoms spreading their elegant petals, spring growth budding in the hills and fields, and flowers wet with morning dew. On sparkling lakes lit by the morning sun, you can find waterfowl and insects, and feel nature living and breathing. The dazzling light and richly-colored scenery pulls at my heart, and before I know it, I’m pointing my lens at the scene. Nature is constantly changing, and you never see the exact same scene more than once. It’s for this very reason that carefully capturing fleeting moments is so important to me. Light, wind, color, scents. I want to photograph moments experienced with all five senses without missing a beat.
The OM SYSTEM is a compact, lightweight setup that allows me to do just that. The new large-diameter M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm F2.8 IS PRO telephoto zoom lens delivers beautiful, smooth defocusing effects and sharp depictive performance to the edges of the frame, making it perfect for capturing living, breathing scenes of nature and landscapes. Paired with the OM-1 Mark II, it offers powerful image stabilization and splash & dust proof performance for peace of mind in any situation. Also, advanced features like computational photography further push the boundaries of what is possible in photography. Being able to capture subjects that are invisible to the naked eye inspires me to be creative. The OM SYSTEM makes shooting more enjoyable, and with it, I can always capture once-in-a-lifetime moments.
