About

Yusuke Harada. Born in 1979 in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. In 2003, driven by the outbreak of the Iraq War, he began shooting documentary photography, focusing primarily on the Middle East and Africa, including Iraq, Palestine, Sudan, and Angola. Following an assignment in Pakistan in 2009, he launched his career as a freelance photojournalist. Since then, he has continued to report extensively, concentrating on the Islamic world, particularly the Middle East. Alongside covering major conflicts and war zones around the world, he is deeply committed to documenting human rights abuses and the lives of those living under oppression caused by conflict. In 2012, he relocated his base to Cairo, Egypt, where he pursued in-depth coverage of the region, including the aftermath of the Arab Spring, with a particular focus on Syria and Egypt. He returned to Japan in 2015 and currently contributes to NurPhoto Agency , through which he publishes his work. His work has received numerous awards and grants, and has been published in magazines and newspapers in Japan and abroad.
