Chikashi Kasai, born in Tokyo in 1970, is a Japanese photographer working across personal, editorial and portrait photography. His first photobook, Tokyo Dance, appeared in 1997, followed by books including Danse Double, Tokyo no Koibito, Tokyo Diary and Stuttgart. His photographs move freely between friends, lovers, family, fashion and everyday encounters. Darwin selects Kasai for an intimate photographic practice where commissioned work and private life remain deliberately inseparable.
