Photographer Research- Daido Moriyama

Daido Moriyama was born outside of Osaka in 1938, he witnessed the dramatic changes that swept over Japan in the decades following World War II.  His gritty photographs of Japanese streets and highways express the conflicting realities of modern Japan: the unexpected survival of age-old tradition within contemporary practice.

I like how in Daido Moriyama's images they look like they are not set up or staged and how they are more like snapshots rather than really thought out images. I think this set of images work really well in black and white, I also like the compositions of all the images.
