Photographer's Profile
Kenichiro Tsukada
Japan
I am a Tokyo-based photographer exploring the interplay of light and shadow in urban spaces. My work focuses on capturing fleeting moments that reflect the energy and solitude of the city. Through monochrome photography, I aim to highlight the depth and contrast of urban life. My signature series, NOIR TOKYO, portrays people illuminated by the city’s lights and shadows, bringing out the dynamic tension between motion and stillness. This series has been highly recognized by prestigious curated photography galleries such as 1x.com and international competitions like TIFA (Tokyo International Foto Awards). In addition to NOIR TOKYO, I develop works that focus on the contrast between urban flowers and artificial structures, as seen in my series Urban Blossoms. While my work is primarily in monochrome, I incorporate color in select pieces to explore the diverse expressions of light. Through my photography, I continue to seek new ways to interpret the world around me, blending realism and abstraction to create compelling visual narratives.
