We love dolphins so much we can hardly hold it in!
Presenting the collected works of Shizuo Inoo, the professional dolphin photographer who quit his job photographing sumo matches after first coming to the Bonin Islands and becoming enchanted by its marine inhabitants. All of the available photographs of Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins, Spinner Dolphins or Pantropical Spotted Dolphins were taken at the Bonin Islands.
The Bonin Islands, the UNESCO Natural Heritage, are a Pacific archipelago located about 1,000 km south, south east of Tokyo.
To meet the dolphins of this southern sea paradise, you have to board the once-a-week Ogasawara-maru ship for 24 hours.
Shizuo Inoo, photographer
His work has been featured in dolphin calendars from the American company Brown Trout, postcard sets from the nature conservation organization World Wide Fund for Nature, the poster for the oceanic documentary "Dolphins and Whales 3D: Tribes of the Ocean," advertisement for the CASIO G-SHOCK Dolphin & Whale models and maritime advertisement for the Bonin Islands, among others.
