Black and White Photography - "Daido Moriyama" | Featured Artist

Daido Moriyama is a Japanese street photographer best known for his confrontational, black-and-white images depicting the contrast of traditional values and modern society in postwar Japan. Notable for his rejection of technical precision in favor of the grainy and high-contrast images produced by a compact camera, the artist captures a diaristic experience of wandering city streets. “The city has everything: comedy, tragedy, eulogy, eroticism,” he has remarked. “It is the ideal setting, the place where people’s desires are interwoven. It has remained and will always remain my natural element.” Born on October 10, 1938 in Osaka, Japan, Moriyama studied graphic design before taking lessons with photographer Takeji Iwamiya. #daidomoriyama @daidomoriyamaphotography ▪️https://www.moriyamadaido.com/en/ ◼️Make sure to Subscribe to my channel and join me on this monochromatic journey and let the simplicity of black and white photography inspire you. 🔲 ✔️Apply for a feature: contact me via email - further details will be provided.
