He doesn't just photograph fish on the chopping board, he also scuba dives to observe where fish live in the sea and what they eat. He also holds a camera underwater. He also participates in various activities, such as showing children how to fillet and prepare fish at kindergartens and elementary schools, and sushi workshops at high schools.
