Nao Tsuda is a photographer who has traveled the world and continues to translate the long-standing relationship between man and nature through his viewfinder. He turns his eyes to invisible time to discover the world that ancient layers of culture suggest to us. He has been showing his landscape photographs since 2001. The main series of works include, “Coming Closer” (2001-2004), “Kogi” (2005-2009), “SMOKE LINE” (2008), “Rera Faraway” (2009), “Storm Last Night” (2010), “REBORN” (2010-), “SAMELAND”(2014), “Grassland Tears”(2016-), “Elnias Forest”(2018), and “LO”(2026).
