My name is Yuichi Yokota and I'm a professional photographer based in Tokyo, Japan, born in 1985. I specialize in bold and delicate photography depicting beautiful nature. In 2019, I visited various places in Japan and took many pictures. Here are 35 carefully selected photos from 10,000 that have left an impression on my heart and convey the beauty of Japan.

I like to capture landscapes in Japan and abroad, therefore, I have provided sightseeing photographs for travel agencies and local governments. I was selected from amongst 4,000 contestants from around the world to represent Japan in the 100 Days of Polar Night Magic project organized by Visit Finland and Finnair to promote tourism over the 2015-2016 winter.

In August 2016, I signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Apple to use my works in iPhone ads celebrating the newly established public holiday, Mountain Day. I won 1st Prize in the Nature category in the International Photography Award (IPA) in 2016 with my works of auroras. Some of which can be seen at my exhibition. I have also won various awards at contests in Japan and abroad in 2017 and 2018.
