Naoya Hatakeyama is a Japanese photographer working primarily in black and white and color film. His practice centers on landscape transformation, industrial architecture, and the material traces of postwar Japan's rapid development. Working across series-based projects that span decades, he documents quarries, dams, construction sites, and urban erosion with a systematic, formally precise approach. His investigations of extraction and infrastructure reveal the geological and human costs embedded in Japan's postwar growth.
