I heard Rei Ohara- animal photographer- was going to shoot in Canada. So I asked him to test-shoot the GR III.

The photos he sent me are too adorable to be true and I can’t stop sharing them with you. Please be healed.


-Comments from Mr. Ohara-

A baby seal born on drift ice in Canada. Since it had not seen any creatures other than its mother since its birth, it would come to you out of curiosity. While shooting with a super-telephoto lens as main equipment, when they approach to you suddenly, changing it to a wide angle lens might cause missing the moment or the sensor dust. The Ricoh GR III, on the other hand, is a high-quality camera that fits in your pocket and does the job. I'm happy with how quick you can take a photo when turning it on.

Rei Ohara
Born in Tokyo in 1961. After working for magazines in Japan and abroad as a photo journalist, he became an animal photographer when he first met baby seals. His books and collections include "azarashi no akachan (Baby Seals)", "ryuhyo no dengon (Message from Drift Ice)", and "shimaenaga chan".
