"...There are, however, some designers and even clients who insist that the public deserve and will respond to much higher standards in graphics. They are convinced, as Charlie Chaplin was convinced, that the best way to entertain the public is to first entertain oneself."

Black&White At Its Finest

Posted: May 24th, 2008 | Author: Iancu | Filed under: photography | 5 Comments »

Thanks to my colleague, Kit, I’ve discovered Mr. Junku Nishimura’s jaw-dropping photography (hope I didn’t mess up his name). One could talk for hours about his vintage versus modern compositions, about his eye-popping contrasts or about his incredible talent of capturing short moments in time, true slices of life, be it human’s, animal’s or object’s. But the best thing to do is to watch in awe. Enjoy.

    Junku Nishimura seems also like a black belt in Bresson’s “decisive moment” philosophy—just look at this one: right time and right framing captured with trademark contrast. So beautiful it makes you dizzy.
