Yoshitaka Kinjo was born and raised in Naha City with his two older sisters as the eldest son in a single-parent family. He had hearing difficulty in one ear due to the aftereffects of a childhood illness and was suffering from tinnitus, but what helped him forget this was to immerse himself in a world of his favorite TV shows, late night radio programs and movies. His childhood was humble, but he was a dreamer. He repeatedly watched his treasured VHS videos (on which he recorded his favorite movies) to the point of wear and tear, and he fell asleep every night with the radio held closely to the one ear that still worked.     He spent almost all his time playing soccer at high school. After graduating, he moved from one job to another – in fact, over 30 of them spread across Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka. Throughout the plethora of jobs, his natural gift and passion for photography emerged, which stemmed from his love of movies. Even after turning to freelance work, he was blessed with a variety of jobs and steadily built up his career. Indeed, he was spending almost every waking moment taking pictures. However, he couldn't shake his doubts about becoming a commercial photographer and decided to become an artistic photographer. He left Okinawa in 2016, wanting to devote himself to his production activities and lived abroad for extended periods. He had a difficult time in Cebu, Philippines, where he encountered more chaos than he expected, but in Toronto, Canada, where he was blessed with great opportunities, landing major clients and establishing a reputation for himself.     Armed with the conviction to further pursue this passion, in 2018 he returned to Japan and established the photo studio, Zero Dimension Studio, in Naha, which allowed him to focus on grounded activities in both his public and private life. Using this place not only for photography but also for social events, he got involved in projects in and out of the prefecture. He vigorously created his art works and held three photo exhibitions of himself in about a year. The "#1 Concept" is a collection of photographs taken and saved during his time abroad, the starting point for photographer Yoshitaka Kinjo; “Pictures for Repose of a Soul” was created to calm his long-held and complex feelings about his blood father who died; and “Energy” is the portraits of pregnant Meimu, an Okinawan-based naturalistic artist, during the days leading up to the birth of her child, including her maternity nudes three days before the birth. A number of media introduced these exhibitions as they delivered strong social messages. In accordance with his own words, "Art is the gateway to quality communication." He sought for heartfelt exchanges through his works.     In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, his fourth exhibition "WHO KNOWS - Changing Concepts, Unchanging Souls" was scheduled at Makishi Park in Naha, featuring landscape photos in Okinawa. The aim of the exhibition is to make viewers aware of and grateful for their existing environment by capturing the everyday landscape from a different perspective.
