Yutaro Saito

I’m a photographer based in Japan.
I photograph elderly men’s fashion under the concept “NOT PLASTIC FASHION”. For client work, I mainly shoot fashion photography for magazines and fashion brands.
"20's STREET STYLE JOURNAL" is my main project. This project is a series and here is brief summary.

#1 NOT PLASTIC FASHION: This is a photo book composed of street portraits of elderly men and colorful plastic objects, exploring fashion beyond trends and social expectations.

#2 72 CLIB DIARY: This is online article about interviewing elderly fashion.

#1 NOT PLASTIC FASHION(2030): In this work, I continue to focus on the fashion of elderly men in everyday urban life while highlighting the concept of “plastic fashion,” which represents superficial consumption in contemporary society. Through collages of cityscapes and portraits, the project reflects on reason and desire in fashion, the universality of fashion as a system, and its possible future forms.
