»I have seen some of Satoshi’s work and liked it very much. I think that his lighting is excellent. He seems very capable to me.«
»Satoshi is incredibly creative, has a brilliant visual sense and continually worked in tandem with me as director to create shots that brought out the truth of each scene in service to the story we were trying to tell. I felt a great partnership with him.«
»Satoshi’s input was constructive, selfless, inventive and always given with respect, but challenging when I needed it to be. I think he would be a tremendous asset to any production and a true creative partner to any director.«
»I have worked closely with Satoshi on two projects and I can honestly say that I am extremely impressed. The man is an artist and a great asset to any production«
»The man has an incredible eye for detail. His knowledge of pre-production, production and post is vast and he utilises this know-how on set to create great lighting setups which capture the correct feel for each specific scene«
»He taps into the vision of the director and through colour, proxemics, hard and soft light, the different feel and effect that a particular lens will provide combined with the framing and movement of the camera, he delivers breath-taking imagery.«
»When faced with obstacles presented by a depleted budget Satoshi simply became creative with his solutions and conjured an image that no-one else could have conceived.«
»He has a in-depth knowledge of cameras, their sensors and their capabilities, as he has proved to me on more than one occasion. He can shoot realistic green screen which in my honest opinion is rare as it is something even the greatest of cinematographers struggle with.«
»Just as amazing is the way he will work himself to the bone and then give you even more. When Satoshi takes on a project it is because he believes in it down to his core and once the fire is lit it burns bright in him. His efforts help to inspire the work of everyone on set and he is a dream for a director to work with.«
»As a man he is humble, honest and truly caring. He has a great sense of humour and is easy to get along with which is important when you’re spending 20 hours a day together for weeks on end! Any film production, director and crew would be fortunate to have him on board.«
