Yasuhiro Ogawa

Yasuhiro Ogawa was born in 1968 in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan. In 2000, he received the Taiyo Award for Futashikana Chizu. Then, in 2006, he was short listed for Oskar Barnack Award for China work. In 2009, he received the Photographic Society of Japan’s Newcomer Award for Slowly Down the River. He currently resides in Tokyo.

In the words of Ogawa himself: “My work is not about documenting the world,” It is about looking for, and capturing emotions. I hope the viewer can feel some emotions too when watching my work.” Ogawa’s photographs succeed in a difficult task: capturing the world as otherworldly and fascinating as it can truly be.
