Neo Tamura – Born on January 21, 2004 in Numazu, Shizuoka Prefecture. A student photographer based in Tokyo. After spending 12 years growing up in Singapore, Tamura is now engaged in photography and filmmaking in Tokyo, working with both digital and film cameras. They create soft monochrome works that capture everyday light, memories, and delicate emotions.
His work focuses on the quietness and passage of time in daily life, portraying often-overlooked landscapes as stories of continuity and change. Characterized by an introspective visual style that highlights the transience of moments and the expressions of natural light, Tamura’s notable series include Tokyo Lonely (2024), which explores solitude in the city, and Wandering Train (2024), a record of shifting emotions and scenery through a journey by train. Currently, they are developing Copernican Revolution, a reflective project revisiting their own photographic journey.
Tamura has participated in group exhibitions at Design Festa Gallery in Harajuku and Setagaya Public Theatre in Sangenjaya. He has also contributed as a volunteer photographer for local cultural events such as “Sancha de Daidogei” in Tokyo and the “10th Futako-Tamagawa Heart Art Street.”
