Could someone proofread this?

Someone I know asked me to translate a bio into English. I hope the one below gets its meaning across, but
probably still contains unidiomatic expressions here and there...
-----------------

"Mr. XXXX was born in Tokyo in 1969.
He takes educational photos of fauna and flora of Yaejima Islands (Okinawa), etc., while
working as a commercial advertising photographer as well.
Since Childhood he was interested in Nature and Insects, and capturing images of flying insects
such as butterflies has become his life-long passion.
He often uses wide-macro /fish-eye lens and a stroboscope when taking these photographs.

He is a moderator of entomophile's community at FotoPus, a photo-sharing website supported by Olympus,
and also serves as a director of SSP (Society Of Scientific Photography.)"

Any input is greatly appreciated.
