Yoichiro Sakai

My name is Yoichiro Sakai. I am an award-winning professional photographer specializing in landscape and aviation photography.
I am based in Tokyo, Japan, and have been active internationally since 2015, participating in international art fairs and exhibiting my work in galleries around the world.

Throughout my journey from student to professional photographer, I have continuously challenged myself through competitions. This helped me build recognition, refine my skills, and remain active even during difficult periods such as the pandemic. As a result, I have received more than 30 photography awards.

My photographic foundation was built through formal education. I studied photography at Nihon University, College of Art, Department of Photography, in Tokyo. I also completed the 36exp Photographer’s School in London through its online program. In addition, I hold a museum curator license, which is officially recognized in Japan.
