About the Photographer

Hazuki Hirai — Born in Aichi Prefecture, currently residing in Kamifurano Town, Hokkaido. In February 2017, she became interested in the world of photography after being captivated by the snowy scenery of Kyoto. In September of the same year, when she visited Hokkaido alone for photography, she was fascinated by the rich natural landscapes and the wild animals powerfully living in the harsh environment, deciding to move there in December 2018. She primarily photographs natural landscapes and wild animals, providing her works to various media such as Digital Camera Magazine. She also produces official sample photos for Sony α series and actively participates in exhibitions such as the Tokyo Camera Club Photo Exhibition and her solo exhibition "Color of Northlandscape" at Sony Store Sapporo.

This work depicts an Ezo red fox bathed in the Hokkaido sunset. It delicately portrays the presence of wildlife living in a tranquil twilight through light and shadow.
