The 1987 in Fukui Pref. born artist Yoshinori Mizutani graduated from the Tokyo College of Photography in 2012. In 2013 he won the Tokyo Frontline Photo Award and the Japan Photo Award 2013. His foray into photography is fairly recent, he started 4 years ago. Nonetheless, his photographs do demonstrate an innate understanding of how forms, colours, textures and depth translate to the pictoral plane. He is working with a visual vocabulary that has been well established by the work of many photographers active today. Mizutani’s work serves as a good gauge of the visual tropes and photographic styles hat are prevalent among young photographers active in Tokyo today. He uses a simple digital camera and takes a lot of images. He is a real snap shooter in present-day.
