这是日本摄影师谷本美加2004年从朝鲜带回来的影像，与其它摄影师带有强烈猎奇心的或充满意象与隐喻的作品不同，她的这些照片捕捉到的是更日常的朝鲜——生产、生育、表演、游乐、集会一样也没少。大家都是人类，再不同又会有什么不同呢？
These images are from Mika Tanimoto‘s DPR Korea series, showing the daily scenes there. I’ve never been there, but I always believe that there is little difference between DPRK and the rest of the world as we are all human beings.
我们可以将山本昌南的摄影比作日本的俳句。俳句常常运用与季节和时令相关的词语描绘鲜活的瞬间来营造出诗的意境，而山本昌南的摄影作品呈现的瞬间有着类似的美的、流动着的意境。世界如此美丽，变化万千，我们只有停下来才能看到河川的流动。
Framed individually, Yamamoto Masao‘s work can be similar to the poetry style of HAIKU. HAIKU brings flow to the poetry world by featuring seasonal words and capturing a vivid moment. Yamamoto’s photographic works present a moment in a similarly beautiful and momentous flow. The world is beautiful and ever changing; only when we stop at this river do we notice the flow.

Kitchen Minoru 出生在美国德克萨斯州的沃斯堡，两岁的时候父母离异后便被带回日本国内生活，因此他脑中根本没有故乡的记忆。2005年，他获得了第33届日本广告摄影师协会大奖，之后他辞去了在房地产公司的职务正式成为一名自由摄影师，2009年再次获得该奖。
Kitchen Minoru最引人瞩目的作品当属“多摩川的人”系列。这个系列的产生是一次偶然的机会在多摩川拍外景看到一群放学的学生在夕阳下沿着河岸走过，他被那一 刻深深打动，害羞的他犹豫再三才下定决心上前询问这些孩子是否愿意接受他的拍摄。学生们欣然接受，于是就有了第一部分的“多摩川的人”。Kitchen Minoru从此找到了自己摄影创作的方向，一直在多摩川的河岸旁守候走过的人，也逐渐拍下其他不同的人，其中有工人，有交通协管员，有消防队员，有恋 人，也有孩子。这些作品全部为摆拍，大家的目光一律都虔诚的望向正在落下的夕阳。摄影师认为，夕阳是一天中最特别的时刻，人们往往能在那一瞬间看到一个真 实的自我。而屏幕前的你在看到这些夕阳下的人的时候，是怎样的情绪呢？感伤、孤独、幸福，抑或是满足？
Kitchen Minoru was born in Fort Worth, Texas. At the age of two, his parents divorced, and as Kitchen Minoru was brought up in Japan, he had no recollection of the Texas landscape or his original home. He had suffered a complex because of this ever since. He graduated from Hosei University. He won the 33rd Japan Advertising Photographers’ Association Awards in 2005. After a brief employment in the realty business, he realized his dream of becoming a freelance photographer in 2005. He won the 37th Japan Advertising Photographers’ Association Awards for the second time in 2009.
His most famous work is “The People of Tamagawa” series, shooting people who passed by the riverbank of Tamagawa in the sunset.

藤冈亚弥是一位现居纽约的日本摄影师。2010年，她获得了日本写真协会的年度新人赏。这些作品选自她的“我不想入睡”系列。该系列的同名书籍已经在2009年由艺术出版社赤赤舍出版。在这个系列中，作者以家乡为舞台，讲述了一个在寻找日常的生活的痕迹以及记忆的影子本身的过程中，记忆逐渐变化的故事。相对于更早的前辈荒木经惟、Hiromix而言，她对细节和情感的把握更多是对前些年红极一时的梅佳代或川内伦子的继承和发展。点击这里，你能看到这个系列的更大更多的幻灯片。

The book “I Don’t Sleep” is published by a very forward-thinking publisher, AKAAKA. In this work, the author’s hometown occupies the main stage.

鈴木理策，1963年生于日本的和歌山县，1987年毕业于东京综合写真专门学校摄影研究专业，2000年获得第25回木村伊兵卫写真赏，2008年获得日本写真协会年度赏。他现居东京。这些作品选自他2006年在美国纽约Yoshii画廊的展览“鈴木理策：樱花”。
日本每年早春的“樱花祭“源于公元8世纪的嵯峨天皇时代，给了日本历代艺术家许多灵感。冬天离去，樱花散落，象征着希望和力量，但在花瓣零落的同时 也警示人们美丽易碎、韶华易逝。鈴木理策以连拍的方式记录下这些如画的景象，并唤起了人们对逝去的时光的感伤情绪。摄影师在捕捉这些画面的时候没有刻意去 构图，也没有逻辑性的叙述，所有的符号都是自然架构而成，观者于是有了身临其境的体验。
摄影师故意将背景舍弃，而是将焦点放在了盛开的樱花和天空的关系上，让作品充满了轻盈的空气的味道。当人们在观看这些作品的时候，自然就将个人体验 与画面中的花朵、枝桠、天空结合在一起。因为有了个人的视角，从而产生完全个人化的解读，并有幸慢慢去体味繁花凋落、生命流逝的这一瞬间——将”伤感的情 绪延长“也就成了鈴木理策这个系列的终极诉求。
