Editorial & Documentary | Fine Arts | Travel & Landscape
Shota Fumoto is a Japanese documentary and portrait photographer based in Tokyo.
His work follows communities and life in transit — most recently a Russian painter and a Georgian actor's family living on the same avenue in Tbilisi, in worlds that do not meet (Two Worlds, One Street), and earlier a journey from Russia to Morocco (We Are Nobody).
He photographs people as they are — not the role they play, but the person underneath.
1st Prize — 2nd World Youth Humanities Photography Contest, Tongji University, Shanghai (2026)
Portfolio Reviews — Visa pour l'Image, Perpignan (2026)
Available for editorial, commercial, architectural and portrait commissions, in Japan and internationally.
