HIROYA HASHIMOTO ( Hiro )
Hiroya Hashimoto is a Japanese-born photographer with a deep passion for capturing the natural beauty of the world—especially the ocean, surf, mountains, and the regional lifestyles that connect people to the land. Through his lens, he seeks to evoke emotion and share untold stories from unique cultures and remote corners of the world.
His journey as a photographer is shaped by constant movement and discovery, driven by curiosity. As both an artist and a traveler, he captures the essence of real, lived experiences through a deeply personal lens. That same curiosity eventually led him to the sea, where his passion for surf and ocean photography continues to grow.
"My passion for photography deepened while traveling across Australia, where I discovered the joy of being immersed in the ocean with a camera in hand.
While traveling alone, I found more time to reflect and connect with myself. It was during that period of self-discovery that I encountered surfing—and before I knew it, my lens was naturally drawn to the ocean, the waves, and the surfers riding them."
Currently based in the stunning Southwest of Australia.
