Photographer / Photography Researcher / MFA
After graduating from the College of Social Sciences at Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan, Taisuke Sato began his career as a corporate employee before transitioning into photography. He studied street photography under the guidance of New York-based photographer James Maher.
He holds an MFA in Photography and Image Making from Kyoto University of the Arts. While there, he studied photography theory, history, and research methodology under Toshiharu Ito (art historian and Professor Emeritus at Tokyo University of the Arts) and artistic theory under contemporary artist Mika Kan.
Sato participated in an artist residency in Sicily, Italy, where he studied alternative photographic processes with Salvo Veneziano, Dodo Veneziano, Eugenio Sinatra, and Giuseppe Sinatra. Since then, he has been deeply engaged in painterly photographic expressions using various alternative processes.
