Mitsutaka Tsuryu

I am a Tokyo-based fine art and street photographer exploring themes of presence and absence within urban space. Through monochrome imagery, I capture moments of quiet tension—where light, shadow, and fleeting human traces intersect. My work reflects on stillness, memory, and the invisible narratives embedded in the city. Selected recognition includes: • European Photography Awards – Gold Winner (multiple works) • Prix de la Photographie Paris (PX3) – Honorable Mention (6 works) • 1839 Awards – Nominee (2 works) • Budapest International Foto Awards (BIFA) – Honorable Mention • BBA One Shot Award – Longlist; exhibited at BBA Gallery, Berlin, Germany • Ephemere / Anarchy°3 – Selected Artist; publication and touring exhibition (Tokyo, Japan / Sardinia, Italy / Versailles, France / Northampton, UK)
