I’m super proud of this video I shot for Netflix! Iñaki Godoy, who plays Luffy meets the legendary creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda.

A few years back, I photographed the legendary game creator of the Metal Gear series and Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima, for EGM magazine. Shortly after the issue went to print Kojima sent me a signed copy of the photos in the issue. I’ve had many encounters over the years with him here in Japan, but it was great to be able to do what I do, to help honor how he does what he does. Kojima Approved!
