KOYANAGI Yoshiaki

Born in 1969 in Tokyo. After graduating from university, he worked as a proofreader and became a freelance person. I am self-taught in photography. His works covering Vietnam, Myanmar, etc. were presented in camera magazines and solo exhibitions at famous galleries. He married a local woman he met during his stay in Mandalay, Myanmar, and returned to a steady life in Japan. After working as a tourist photographer and a corporate PR magazine, he got a job in a different field. At that time, it was 15 years since he contracted a mental illness, and after several job changes, he went into remission and resumed my photography activities.
