Prints

Born in 1965 in Tokyo. Based in Tokyo Today. Started shooting in 2008.
My aim to shoot the street is to show how the world is beautiful, interesting, wonderful and sometimes cruel. By means of photography and through my own eyes with my gear.I am so happy and glad when someone feels some emotion when they see my shots.Recently Awards

This city continues to fascinate me. I am invited by its enchantment: I feel the shutter release.

Its visuals are instantaneous, but by cutting them into a picture, they becomes universal and eternal.

This series includes both traditional street photography and portraits shot on the street. Although they are not candid photos, the portraits in “Tokyo Street” are based on (and influenced by) my candid street shots. As such, I could not have taken them if I did not also shoot street photography.

The portraits and my street photography are intertwined in a complex manner. The interaction between the two kinds of pictures makes the city more fascinating; the relationship between the two draws out the charm of this city.

Tokyo is sometimes cruel, sometimes seductive: I catch those moments.

Nikita Teryoshin was born in Leningrad (RU) in 1986, studied photography at FH Dortmund, and now lives in Berlin. He has participated in international group exhibitions in Germany, the UK and Singapore. His first solo exhibition was in 2017 at La Chambre, Strasbourg. His work has been published in magazines such as Der Spiegel, Le Monde and VICE.

I took the pictures at the Arms fair in Seoul in October 2017. They are part of my project “Nothing personal”. Nothing Personal is an ongoing project about war business. The opposite of a battlefield, the war business is a huge playground for adults with wine, finger food and shiny weapons. Dead bodies here are mannequins or pixels on screens of a huge number of simulators. Real bazookas and machine guns are plugged into flatscreens. Arms fairs are usually closed for public events with some exceptions. The pictures have been taken in Kielce, Poland, 2016, Minsk, Belarus and Seoul, South Korea in 2017.

I don’t really consider myself a photographer. More of a film maker. But I do enjoy taking pictures. But I’ll never claim that title. I love Japan and come every year. This is my first time being here for months! I been making videos since 2009 November. But I always enjoyed taking pictures. Even more so lately. I hope you guys enjoy some of the shots I’ve been taking. These are just some. Have tons and still got 50 more days here in Japan left.

I’m not sure if I’d call it a series. But I pretty much just walk up to people and ask to take a picture. Sometimes I do ask and just shoot.

I am a Ukrainian portrait and travel photographer based in Barcelona, Düsseldorf and Kiev. Impressed by the multiple facets of life and the beauty of light, I explore the world around me through the lens of my photo camera. In my photographs, I try to communicate a sense of place, atmosphere, and mystique of a moment in a poetic visual language.

I am intrigued by the unknown. Therefore I try to travel as much as possible in order to explore new places that I have never been to before, to learn about cultures and tell stories about my experiences through the photography.

The Republic of Tuva, The Republic of Khakassia and Irkutsk Oblast are not only famous for their traditional throat singing Khoomei, national wrestling sports Khuresh and picturesque nature, but also for their ancient culture of shamanism.

Shamanism is a widespread religious practice that maintains a strong influence on people of Siberia. Shamans are mostly seen by local inhabitants as healers, wise saviors, and portals between humans and the spirits of the ancestors. They get their energy from nature, where nature is their best supplier, their truthful teacher, and their only home. Nomadic lifestyle and philosophical perception of time making these communities sage like the Sayan Mountain and calm as floating flocks of the gigantic white clouds that together perform a harmonious symphony of eternal beauty in that authentic venerable culture.

Hon Hoang is a Vietnamese-American street, portrait, and event photographer currently based in Los Angeles, California. He was born in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, but grew up in Los Angeles. He began studying Photography shortly after graduating from UCLA where he studied Psychology. He sees Photography as a medium that answers questions, satisfies curiosity, and showcases the things that are often left unseen.

Finding the right words buried under two and a half decades of assimilation proved to be difficult. Perhaps it was my accent, my child-like vocabulary, or maybe everything about me was foreign to this place I thought of as home.

Being in Ho Chi Minh city after 11 years since my last visit feels different yet the same. The skyline has given birth to more towers seeking to touch the sun. Wealth has found itself in the pockets of the Vietnamese people yet has forgotten many others. Even with these progressions, much of the city has stayed the same. It’s inhabitants working day by day, to live, to provide for the future. Street vendors beginning their work before the sun wakes or never having stopped to begin with. Construction workers laboring under a feverish heat, finding solace in the brief moments of wind and rain. Citizens working well into old age, doing work meant for much younger bodies.

This place is rich in its traditions and superstitions. People having muted conversations with those that have long left the world. Hands clasped, with pulsating ember, the hopeful pray. Wishing for health, wealth, and whatever might be. I see a country with hope, hope for a future that’s better than what most experienced in the past. The hardships, turmoil, and labor that bled into the soil that grows bounty. It’s a country in search of identity and ownership, both of which have been unknown.

Japanese living in Italy.
I am a full-time vintage shop manager and freelance fashion/art writer.
On my free time I paint and take pictures.
I started taking pictures since I came in Italy 8 years ago.
I adore people, life, vibes and I want to explain my vision of life through the lens of a camera.

Living in a foreign country, I happened to see my own nation from a different point of view.

Japanese people are usually quiet, well manned and calm; but when parties come, they totally change and feel the positive vibes.

Pictures were taken during Halloween time in Tokyo: I had never seen this drastically change of behavior before and it really amazed me, needless to say I had fun too!

I had a pretty hectic upbringing, with frequent moves across lots of geography. The question “where are you from?” paralyzes me. I never lived in a place for long, and photography became a way to take in the feeling of a place at a human pace. It hammered into me that the world is as orderly as it is chaotic, as absurd as it is rational, and as much a paradise as it is a hell.

I am currently studying art at UCLA, and I am pursuing a career in photojournalism.

I had a chance to travel by choice, and I chose Japan. I had planned to spend time roaming the country, but there was just too much to see in Tokyo. The city is a sprawling shrine to hedonism, sustained by a kind of rational insanity.
