Hiroshi
Watanabe was born in Sapporo, Japan. He graduated from Department of
Photography, College of Art, at Nihon University in 1975. He moved to
Los Angeles after graduation and became involved in the production of
TV commercials, eventually working as a producer. He later
established his own production company and produced numerous
commercials. He received an MBA degree from UCLA Business School in
1993. In 1995 his passion for photography rekindled, and since then
he has traveled worldwide extensively, photographing what he finds
intriguing at that moment and place. In 2000 he closed the production
company in order to devote himself entirely to the art and became a
full time photographer.
