Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1977. Ishizuka began traveling the world as a teenager, moving between documentary and photographic expression. He continues to take photographs while moving around the world, as if in pursuit of specific subjects such as the remains of the Gold Rush era, oil pipelines and glaciers. In recent years he has broadened the interpretation of photography, developing works that treat photographic paper sculpturally and works in which photographic paper is woven like textiles. Ishizuka received the New Photographer Award of the Higashikawa Awards for fiscal 2014 and the Grand Prix of the Steidl Book Award Japan in 2016, and was sent to NY (USA) in 2010 and Kemijärvi (Finland) in 2021 under the Agency for Cultural Affairs' Program of Overseas Study for Upcoming Artists. His many books include "worldwidewarp" (2001), "PIPELINE ALASKA" (2007) and "Glacier Diary: Glacier Bay" (2017).
