Street Photographer based in Japan
https://kenji-nagahama-photography.webnode.jp/ No past, no future. My stance never changes anywhere on the globe.

As a street photographer based in Japan, I would try to visualise a "moment" in the daily scene because a photograph is only able to capture the instant moment when I press the shutter release button. And I am attracted to the story that happened to my surroundings where I live, while I am not interested in extraordinary scenes like festivals or special occasions. I am working worldwide as my prof

ession, and have the opportunity to see a different world or environment, not as a traveller, but as an objective photographer wherever I am. In fact, before I became a photographer, I used to take photographs of curious objects and sceneries for my good memory. But now, no matter where in the world I shoot, I can see and feel common elements of human nature. Furthermore, I have also become able to feel the anguish and delight that each society has. That motivates me to shoot. I was strongly influenced by the story of "The Tale of the Heike", which was published 13 centuries, which tells that life rises and declines, all things are in flux and nothing is permanent. The story describes the governing structure in the Samurai era, but it can also be applied to general society or community. In other words, everything in the world is changing all the time, and a flourishing city, town or village will be disappeared someday for some reason. The theme of the tale is still alive because it expresses ordinal human nature. If I can capture such changes in the photograph, I think that the viewer who sees my work 10 to 20 years later will be able to feel the era I was in. What I have said here is my artist statement and the concept of my lifework. I believe that the most important thing is to have ordinary scenes I am taking reflect the era I am living in. Since each project will be tackled for a different reason, it will have a narrower theme, but the concept explained above remains unchanged. I love humanity and shoot them to express my sincere respect.

I think they should have gone for a slightly sportier bike, but I suppose that means they aren’t planning on using it to chase down suspects.
せっかくなのでもう少しスポーティーな自転車にすればいいのにと思うが，これで容疑者を追跡することは考えてないってことか。

I feel that the way light and shadow fall here is different from where I live now. This is the atmosphere of the city.
今住んでいる街とは光と影の出方が違うと感じる。これが街の空気。

世界の街には、それぞれ異なる日常があり、それを見つめる視点があります。
TOKYO STREET PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL 26は、日本唯一のストリートフォトグラフィーに特化した国際公募写真展です。
第4回となる今年は、世界29カ国の写真家による国際公募展に加え、ノルウェーのOslo Street Photography Collectiveを招いた国際文化交流展示を開催します。
世界各地で生まれたストリートフォトグラフィーが一堂に会し、多様な文化や価値観、そして「街を見る視点」が交差します。
今年の公募展示では、作品をカラーとモノクロームの二つの空間で展示。色彩が映し出す現実と、モノクロームが導く本質。その違いを体感しながら、写真家たちの多彩な視点をお楽しみください。
ストリートフォトグラフィーは、街を写すだけではなく、人と人、文化と文化をつなぐ表現です。
この夏、世界29カ国の視点と、日本とノルウェーを結ぶ文化交流を、ぜひ会場でご体感ください。

I never would have thought they’d hold a popularity poll for parfaits. What a peaceful society, isn’t it?
まさかパフェの人気投票してるとは思わなかった。平和でいいねえ。
