Born in Osaka in 1977 and raised in Nara. In 2009, Takeshi Dodo published photographs taken on remote islands all over Japan in the photobook “Force of the Islands” and held exhibitions in Paris, Portugal, Mexico and at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum. The same year, he relocated from Tokyo to Nara. He published the book “Beast in Silence”, photographed mainly in the south of Nara Prefecture, and exhibited the series in galleries in Tokyo and Osaka.
