Jeff Laitila

Jeff Laitila is a Japan based American photographer who's travels take him all over the world, but his main subject is Japan.

"Two of my great passions in life are travel and photography. I believe that travel broadens one's view of the world, and in learning more about the world, we ultimately end up learning a great deal about ourselves.

Through my photography I seek to document my own personal experiences, to capture scenes and events as I see them and to share with others the beauty and diversity that is Japan.

To try to capture in an image the emotions I felt at the moment I tripped the camera's shutter, that is my goal.

The best compliment I have ever received about my work was when a person told me that my photos had made them homesick for a place that they had never been."
