■Profile
Ayano Suzuki : Dolphin Swimmer, Underwater Model, Photographer

Ayano was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan.
After graduating from Tokyo University majoring in Agricultural Chemistry, she went on to persue her Master's Degree at the Graduate School of the same university.

While working in research and product development at a private company, she made a solo trip to Ogasawara(World Natural Heritage BONIN Islands in Japan) and encountered wild dolphins for the first time.
Enchanted by their lovely eyes and the sounds they produce, she set her mind towards expressing the wonders of the underwater world.

Ayano's photographs are taken by skin-diving without tanks.
She finds peace and happiness in making eye contact with wild dolphins, connecting with them and slowly swimming in sychronization.
Her photos of dolphins are unique in that they capture their expressions in a way that can only be taken by a Dolphin Swimmer, and her aim is to show the world of the excitement of swimming with dolphins.

Other activities Ayano is involved in includes research of the biology/behavior of dolphins and their interaction with humans, TV commercials as an underwater model, TV appearances as a dolphin specialist, lecturer at photo workshops, writing of articles and columns, and movie and 3D image editing, etc.
