In 2015, Daido Moriyama stopped in Los Angeles to photograph the westside following a museum opening of his work in Houston. For two days, he photographed in Santa Monica, Venice and the Marina, in alleyways and private homes. The resulting photographs are presented in his newest contributions to our One Picture Book Series: Daido "Uno" (black and white) and Daido "Dos" (color).
Born in Osaka, Japan in 1938, Daido Moriyama is arguably the most influential photographer of his generation. His work is widely exhibited throughout the world, and is represented in most important museum collections. Moriyama is known for his images depicting the contrast of traditional values and modern society in post-war Japan, and for his desire to utilize photography in “the fossilization of light”.
