A collection of works by Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama "Light & Shadow (First Edition, With OBI)". Needless to say, this is one of Moriyama's major works from the early to mid-term period, and is a masterpiece along with "Nippon Gekijo Shashincho" and "Goodbye Photography". Ever since "Farewell to Photography," which denied the preconceived notions of photography, denied realism, and declared a farewell to the conventional act of photography itself, I was stuck in the idea of what photography is and what the act of photographing is. Daido Moriyama lost his balance and was unable to take pictures for a while. At that time, I was reminded of the “landscape photographs” taken by Niepce, a pioneer of photography technology, in which light was captured. This work "Light and Shadow" has returned to its origins, thinking that it is enough to simply capture the products of shadows. Just as Takuma Nakahira transitioned from an allebre style to straight live photography, Moriyama also bases his work on a monochrome graphical style rich in design, while simply “replicating” the reality created by nature. The starting work of Daido Moriyama, the second term, who returned to the act of doing.
