About Artist
Mitsutaka Tsuryu
Mitsutaka Tsuryu is a Tokyo-based fine art and street photographer whose work explores the silent tension between light, structure, and human presence within the urban landscape. His photographs reveal poetic moments in the everyday city — anonymous silhouettes, fleeting reflections, and architectural fragments that exist between memory and time. In 2025, Tsuryu received multiple Honorable Mentions at the Prix de la Photographie Paris (PX3), a Gold Award at the European Photography Awards (EPA), reached the Finalist Round of the Black & White Photo Awards (BWPA), and earned an Honorable Mention at the Budapest International Foto Awards (BIFA) for his sole entry. These recognitions across Europe highlight his growing presence in the international fine art photography scene. Through minimalist compositions and emotional restraint, Tsuryu seeks to capture the invisible presence that lingers within modern cities — a quiet dialogue between humanity and architecture.
