My name is Andreas Yoshizawa (formerly Bergström), a photographer/writer from Småland, Sweden. Love took me to Japan and since 2018 I am living in Tokyo with Suma, my wife and creative partner. I have a background in mathematics and physics, but writing and photography has always been my passion. And in time, the creative process became a way of life, of finding meaning and of sharing my world with others. My photography ranges from art photography to commercial, and on this site you can see samples of my work.
My exhibitions has mainly focused on the dialogue between and within text and image; I call it two-dimensional imprints and my hope is that they will come to life and gain a third dimension when the viewer experiences them. A visitor once conveyed that the exhibition room had a meditative feeling. And I felt yes, that is exactly one of my driving forces – to offer the viewer an incentive for reflection and the opportunity to a few meditative moments.
