Born in 1980,
Kosuke Okahara began his professional career at age 23, after his
college graduation. Since the beginning of his career, he has been
devoting himself to the theme of "Ibasyo" which refers, in Japanese,
to "People's physical and emotional space where they can exist",
or "Inner-peace of the people" including refugee crisis
in Darfur, the choices of the people who are involved in illegal
activities at the bottom of the society ladder in Colombia, and
young Japanese people who are struggling with self-injury. As yet,
he has covered various social issues in Asia, Africa, and South
America.
His works have been widely published including TIME.com, Newsweek
Japan, PHOTO, Courrier International, Enjeux Les Echos, PDFx12,
