I am Ken Shimokogawa, a landscape and nature photographer born in Japan, raised and educated in the United States. As a fulltime engineer for a Fortune 400 company, I have spent the last few years working in Hiroshima, Japan.

I have always been interested in landscape and nature photos by Ansel Adams. Then about 4 years ago, I purchased my very first DSLR and discovered the truly wonderful world of photography. Suddenly, I was able to capture images with amazing details, clarity and color. I was truly hooked, captivated and enraptured.

Since then I have made many photographer friends and have found a life time pursuit.
As I continue to look for that shutter chance of a lifetime, I hope when the time comes I am able to capture the precious moment.

Enjoy this online portfolio, and feel free to ask me any questions about the photos.
