Yushi Kaisyakuji

I'm a Japan-based photographer whose work centers on black-and-white portraits of wildlife, seeking to reveal the emotional architecture that lives beneath the surface of each creature. Rather than documenting appearances, he strives to capture the inner pulse—the quiet dignity, tension, and resilience—that defines a living being. My approach follows the tradition of photographers who believed that the camera can carve out the soul of its subject, not merely its outline. Alongside his photographic pursuits, I am a pediatric surgeon. my daily work is spent with the smallest and most fragile lives—children whose courage far exceeds their size. This dual profession shapes his visual language: the stillness of observation, the reverence for life, and the belief that every moment holds a story worth preserving. The operating room teaches him precision; photography teaches him empathy. Together, they form the core of his artistic identity.
