Magical Underwater World In Photographs By Junya Nishigawa
On the 10th April 2016, Olympic swimmer and gold medalist Kosuke Kitajima announced his retirement at the Tokyo Tatsumi International Swimming Center. Now, a selection of underwater photos taken of the Olympian are set to go on display at the Tokyo Olympus Plaza from 17th – 22nd June. The photographer is none other than ex-swimmer Junya Nishigawa – a graduate of the prestigious National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Kanoya, previous Olympic candidate and ten-year record holder for the fastest 200m swimming freestyle in Kawaga Prefecture. After graduating and working as a pro-swimming instructor, he picked up an interest in swimming photography. He is currently Japan’s leading underwater sports photographer.
His works hold a great sense of presence and power, immersing the viewer in an exciting underwater world. Nishigawa is no doubt a professional, yet he claims he picked up photography by studying by himself. How did he get so good?
