Letters from the editor

ear Readers!

The February issue put the focus on Japanese street photography. Our editor Gerri McLaughlin spent some time in Japan, on the pulse of the time in search of the ultimate street photography experience. On his travels, he met several well-known Japanese street photographers, like Kenichi Chiyonobu. The result was our editorial, an interview with one of the most intriguing street photographers in the Japanese scene. Go Muroiwa, our guest author, takes up the interesting journey in the Japanese street photography scene. With her kind permission, we present one of her blogs, an interview with Naoki Iwao. We also feature the fantastic street photographer, also from Japan, Hiroyuki Nakada, who gives us fascinat-

ing insights into street close up photography. John Hughes takes us on an exciting journey. In his column "public transport" he illuminates the daily life in public transport in a photographic way. Also in this issue, photo reviews with Alain Licari, Farhadi Arifiansyah, L'Individual Photography, Markus Brandstetter and Torsten KĂśster. Finally, our February issue will be rounded off with an overview of the best photos from the "No Rules Street Photography" Facebook group and our "EYE-Catching moments". As always, we hope you enjoy reading!

Yours, Stefan Cimer Founder and Managing Editor

Interview with

Kenichi Chiyonobu by Gerri McLaughlin

INTERVIEW with Kenichi Chiyonobu by Gerri McLaughlin

i Kenichi , firstly I would like to thank you for taking time out to talk to us today I know you are keeping busy with your photography in Tokyo. 健一さんこの度はお忙しい中「EYE PHOTO MAGAZINE」のインタビューに快く答えて下さりありがとうございます。

Please can you tell us a little about yourself to start with. まずは簡単な自己紹介をお願いします。 I see myself as a photo lover rather than a photographer. I like to take pictures on the street but I also like looking at any photography. 私は自身を写真家と言うよりも写真愛好家と思ってます。ストリートスナップを好んで撮っていますが、あらゆる写真を見ることも大好きです。 Could you tell us how you first became interested in street photography? 最初にどのようにしてストリートフォトグラフィーに興味を持つようになったか教えて下さい。かれこれ45年位前から蒸気機関車の写真を撮っていましたが、日本の鉄道から蒸気機関車が見られなくなって以来、家族写真以外は取らなくなっていました。 I started taking pictures of locomotives about 45 years ago but since they disappeared in Japan I then took only pictures of my family. たまたま10年位前に書店でHCBのアルバムを観て、いつかこんな作品を撮りたいと感じ、現在まで見よう見まねで撮り続けています。 About 10 years ago, I saw a HCB’s photography book in a bookstore by chance. I thought that I would love to take pictures like this and I have been taking pictures since then learning by myself and watching others. Kenichi you shoot almost exclusively in black and white, is there a particular reason you do so? 健一さんは、ほとんど全てモノクロで撮られますが、何か特別な理由がありますか？私はモノクロ写真に強く惹かれています。私にとっては想像力を駆り立てられるように感じています。 Black and white photography strongly attracts me. I think it fires my imagination. There’s a very strong sense of day by day, moment by moment in your work, are you on the streets everyday? 健一さんの写真からは、日々の瞬間がとても強く感じられますが、毎日街にでて写真を撮りますか？ハイ、ウィークデイは毎日通勤の帰りに散歩がてらに撮っています。週末も街歩きの途中でよく撮ります 8

Yes. I take pictures every day after work, weekdays while I do my walking. I also take pictures a lot on the weekend when I am walking in the city. How has Tokyo changed since you first starting shooting there? 健一さんが最初に写真を撮り始めた頃に比べて、東京はどのように変化しましたか？街というものは、人が街を創り、街が人を創る好循環によって生まれるものと思っています。 I think a city is made by the good motions of people creating the city and the city creating the people. 東京という街も世界中の街の中でも創造的な街になりつつあります。 Tokyo is becoming one of the most creative cities in the world, too. そのような中で、ストリートスナップで人を主題にした写真も撮るようになってから、道や地下鉄車内で人を良く観察するようになりました。 I observe people more on the street or subways since I started taking pictures on the street. 最近はスマホなどの普及も手伝って、個人と社会の関係、関心と無関心、寛容さと不寛容さが極端になってきているような気がしています。 I have a feeling that the relationship between the society and individuals, the difference between the interest and indifference, tolerance and intolerance are getting more extreme with the increased technologies like smartphones. そうした極端さが混沌とする東京を作り上げているのではないでしょうか。 I guess these extremes are creating the chaos in Tokyo. これからも大きく変わりつつある東京を、様々な側面から撮っていきたいと思っています。 I will keep taking pictures of changing Tokyo from the different aspects. I find your photos to be very intimate in their style, do you have much contact with your subjects and how do they react to you in the street? 健一さんの写真からは、写真家と被写体との間にある親しみを強く感じます。ストリートでは被写体とはどの程度コミュニケーションをとりますか？またどのような反応を受けますか？私は被写体として気になる方やシーンを見かけた時は迷わず撮るようにしていますので、お声がけはしていません。 If I see someone or a scene which catches my eye I take pictures of them without a hesitation and I don’t talk to them. いわゆる隠し撮りや、その方の人間性を否定するような写真は撮りません。 But I don’t take pictures secretly or in a way I could deny someone’s personality. 9

INTERVIEW with Kenichi Chiyonobu by Gerri McLaughlin

INTERVIEW with Kenichi Chiyonobu by Gerri McLaughlin できる限り自分が感じるその方の魅力を上手く捉えたいという気持ちで撮っています。 I take pictures with an attitude that I want to catch the person’s beauty that I see as good as possible. そのような環境の中で、ストリートスナップで人を主題にした写真も撮るようになってから、道や地下鉄車内で人を良く観察するようになりました。これまでを振り返ってみても、被写体の方に特に嫌そうな表情をされたことや問題になったことはないので、このスタイルで撮り続けるつもりでいます。 When I look back, no one looked offended and I never had any problems, so I will keep going on with my style. How would you best describe your themes in Street Photography? ストリートフォトグラフィーにおける、健一さんのテーマを簡潔に言うと何ですか？ストリートスナップは偶然との遭遇と発見だと考えているのですが、老若に関わらず、女性らしい仕草や美しい所作、リアクション、表情を捉えたいと思っています。 I think that street photography is an encounter and discovery of a coincidence. I would like to capture feminine gestures, beautiful movements, reactions and expression of all ages. Has your style of shooting changed since you first started? 写真を撮り始めた頃と比べ、健一さんのシューティングスタイルは変わりましたか？今でも二つのスタイルで撮っています。一つは風景の一部としての人の写真。 I have two styles. The one is people as a part of the scene. もう一つは人の表情やリアクションを主題にしたものです。 and the other is people’s expressions or reactions as a main theme. 今回お見せする写真は前者のスタイルが中心ですが、今後は後者のスタイルも力を入れていきたいと思います。 The pictures I show now are the former but I would like to expand the latter style more. Who are you favourite photographers ? Is there any one who influenced your work and style? 一番好きな写真家は誰ですか？健一さんのワークとスタイルに影響を与えた写真家はいますか？一番好きと言えばHCBですが、ストリートで人に対峙して撮るという視点では、友達のAleksander Mogilo さんです。 My favorite photographer is HCB but I also like a 12

friend of mine Aleksander Mogilo from the point of view of him taking his pictures by being right there with people on the street. 私とは全く異なるスタイルですが、彼の作品からは多くの視点や示唆を受けています。 His style is very different from mine but I get a lot of thoughts and hints from his work. Which equipment are you using and how does that help you to achieve your artistic vision? 使っているカメラとレンズは何ですか？またそれらの機材は、撮りたい光景を捉えるためにどのように役立ちますか？あまり多くの物を持ったり重たいカメラが好きではないので、小型のカメラが中心です。 I don’t like to carry a lot of equipment or big cameras so I work mostly with small cameras. ウィークデイの通勤ではブリーフケースに、SONY RX-100 → 良い点は小型でシャッター音がほぼしないことです。 Weekdays I take SONY RX-100 in my briefcase. The good point is that the shutter makes very little noise. ウィークエンドは Canon EOS M-3 F2.0 20mm prime lens も使います。 I also use Canon EOS M-3 F2.0 20mm prime lens on the weekend. Do you have any tips or advice for someone starting out in street photography? これからストリートフォトグラフィーを始めたいという人のために、アドバイスや秘訣はありますか？アドバイスできる事はありませんが、気をつけている事はあります。 I don’t have any advice but there are some points I pay attention to. 日本の武道で良い武道家は、心技体の三拍子が揃う必要があると言われていますか、私は写真でも同じかな、と思っています。 In Japan, it is said that you need spirit, technique and body to be a good martial artist and I think it applies to photography as well. 身体能力という意味で体は別にして、周囲の視線に動じず、それよりも撮りたいという気持ち、という意味で心が大事だと思います。技はデジタルの時代には、お金と根気と時間をかければなんとかなってしまうところがありますが、心、気の持ちよう、これだけは自分の撮りたいという気持ちと周囲との関係性ですので、その時々で解決し続ける必要があると思います。 Apart from your physical ability, you need a strong spirit to take pictures which is immovable even though you are visible by others.

Kenichi Chiyonobu ÂŠ 14

INTERVIEW with Kenichi Chiyonobu by Gerri McLaughlin Techniques you can achieve if you take some money, patience and time in this digital generation but for your spirit and mind, your will to take pictures also relates to the surroundings so we always need to take care of it moment by moment. Last but not least the Big Question what is Street Photography for you? それでは最後に、健一さんにとってずばり「ストリートフォトグラフィー」とは何ですか？偶然性がもたらす新たな出会いと発見です。 A new encounter and discovery made by a coincidence. Kenichi San, Thank you very much for taking your precious time and letting us have your thoughts and views! 健一さん、今回は貴重なお時間をいただき、健一さんの考えや視点をお聞かせ下さりありがとうございました！！ Web: www.facebook.com/kenichi.chiyonobu https://500px.com/kenichichiyonobu

Transport

by John Hughes

Public Transport by John Hughes

f you're a regular to my blog you'll know I’ve been working a project called London cabbies, the project is being a pleasure to work on and it’s growing into an interesting documentary project

which I hope to grow more in the next few months.

But as before, this has lead me to another project of sorts and that’s the passengers, not only in taxi's but also the passengers travelling on buses and trains. As with any kind of street photography you get people that notice and don't notice me taking a photo. I've been finding that it makes a better photo once they’ve noticed me and camera. I've added 2 photos below, in the first photo, the lady hasn’t noticed me and then she does.

I think both photos work and are good in their own way, but her expression in the second is perfect. So for me, it pays to wait until the subject notices the camera and plays on it.

Isn’t strange how we change the way we shoot depending on the situation we’re faced with. I would say that most of the time I don’t wait for my subjects to notice me, as I find that changes the moment I’m trying to capture, street photography for me is all about capturing candid moments and the photographer should never interfere with the moment. Then here I am photographing people travelling on public transport and I’m now hoping they notice me and then, of course, I have my fingers crossed that react with me. Most of the photos I’ve been capturing of people using buses has been in Cambridge and I always seem to get the best photos when the weather is really bad. I love it when the windows on the buses are steamed up, mix this with the early evening light and the colours of the street lights, shop windows etc and I have the perfect mixture for a great photo.

Public Transport by John Hughes

Boy I had to run halfway down Oxford Street in London to get it. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe she kept her hand on the window. Enjoy the photos!

Interview with

NAOKI IWAO by Go Muroiwa

would like to introduce Naoki Iwao, a photographer who continues to take pictures of Tokyo, Shinjuku and Shibuya on a daily basis, Mr. Iwao is a member of the same void.tokyo as Tadashi Ohnishi who is a Japanese photographer also introduced in this blog last time. Among the many photographers taking Shinjuku and Shibuya that I know. He is a documentary point of view among them. He knows the city. So, he can take his own emotional picture. Among those pictures, there are various honest and emotions that do not decorate raw. Imagine the life story of each subject. Please take a closer look at his picture.

Q: What camera and lens you are regularly using? A: It’s a Ricoh GR Q: Where is your shooting base? A: In Tokyo, mainly Shibuya and Shinjuku Q: Where is your favorite shooting spot? A: I go around a busy road with a lot of people Q: What do you remember, when taking street captures? A: I want to take a picture of the natural appearance of an unconscious person. I always want to take a picture that tells a story. Q: What are you looking for, when you shoot street? A: I want to take a person’s unconscious, natural appearance. It is the street that meets the various forms of people going and leaving. I think that taking pictures there is suitable for me. Q: When did you start shooting Shibuya and Shinjuku? A: About 5 years ago. I also started photography at that time.

Q: Shibuya, Shinjuku, what do you see

from Mr. Iwao’s point of view? A: Both are the city that is the source of culture. But they have opposite characteristics. Shinjuku is the city that became the origin of Japanese youth culture in the 1960s. Literature • theater • music and photography. It is a place that became the soil of many expressers such as Shuji Terayama, Toujuro and Moriyama Daido. Shibuya is now the center of young people, AND it is characterized by a fashionable and stylish aspect. Most foreigners come to Shibuya.

Q: Since the time you started shooting, did the city changed to the present? A: I have not taken a picture for a long time. I do not understand from the viewpoint of photography. However, I am amazed at the speed of change in my city.

Q: I would like to ask your opinion, impressions on the masterpiece that has been taking many

years. A: I was impressed with the photos of Moriyama Daido and started photograph, but he said. Unusual hiding behind the streets of the city and irritability. I feel I have learned a new relationship to such a world.

Q: What is the philosophy of photography for you? A: I do not have a high-level philosophy.

Even if it is a moment, I wish it was a picture that remained in your eyes.

Q: What do you want to do in the future? A: My current photo style will not change. So, I will continue to shoot from now on. I would like to extend the work presentation and activities at VoidTokyo.

PHOTO REVIEW with Gerri McLaughlin

Gerri McLaughlin I’m originally from Glasgow but based now in Basel, five years ago I bought my first digital SLR and started soon after to shoot Street Photography which has become my love and my passion these past years. I’ve been working in a professional photo studio for four years now and also working as an editor at EYE-Photo Magazine. I’ve been fortunate this year to travel and to meet and shoot with some excellent street photographers. I’ve just returned from Tokyo which in my opinion is one the great cities of the world for street photography, this is my first selection of photos from that trip.

PHOTO REVIEW TORSTEN KÃ&#x2013;STER

PHOTO REVIEW with Torsten Kรถster

orsten Kรถster was born in 1970 in Stuttgart, and in the same decade he took the first steps in photography. Later he was attending classic photo lab training.

The images - most of which are taken in his hometown Stuttgart - are based on classical street photography: scenes and excerpts of people in urban space. However, man does not necessarily have to be the main theme, but may also merely fit into the overall context as a creative component. His focus is also on the, at first glance inconspicuous, things of the city. The everyday objects and places that are rarely perceived, he tries to give a special character photographic. Parts of his work have already been shown in several international solo and group exhibitions, published in books and magazines. Since 2016, there is, co-founded by him, street photography collaboration "streetlab0711". It is an amalgamation of five photographers from Stuttgart who have dedicated themselves to street photography to offer, among other things, joint events and an information tool.

PHOTO REVIEW MARKUS BRANDSTETTER

PHOTO REVIEW with Markus Brandstetter

lready at the tender age of 10, I made my first steps in the still ubiquitous, analog photography. Critical teacher and mentor here was my father, who at the time had a lot to do with photography with his job. The fascination was aroused. My first love was a pretty Japanese girl named "Canon AE-1"! In the following teenage and adolescent years, the duo "AE-1" and I could not be separated! Whole weekends I spent in my own darkroom to develop the pictures by myself. Later I visited the photo school in Stuttgart for two years. There I learned how to handle medium and large format photography. What a wonderful time! A time of slowness! Later, inevitably came the contact to digital photography. Infinite possibilities opened up and a new love was born! This fascination continues unabated to this day. Numerous workshops and photo tours for landscape and nature aroused a new passion. The long exposure landscape photography! Surrounded by nature, full of calm and the entire focus directed to the subject. Another new time of slowness! I hope that all the emotions and impressions in my photographs are reflected!

PHOTO REVIEW with Alain Licari

Alain Licari

orn in France, I’ve lived in Spain and now enjoy a life in New York City. A selftaught photographer, I am inspired by traditional black-and-white humanist photography, particularly the great masters like Sebastiao Salgado and Raymond Depardon. Traveling around the globe, I create photo essays that cross art photography with photojournalism. I attach importance to producing an elegant photo —une mise en scène—in a geographical, social and humanistic context, with an emphasis on the latter. By catching the eyes of another, I seek a moment and a connection—in the humblest way—with the human soul. Even more, I want these simple shots of everyday life to raise questions. After my time in the United States, topics related to politics, migration and the diversity of the American Continent—both the North and the South—have gained particular interest. The personal concept of mise en scène is important to my photographic work. Though I do not take part in the composition of what plays out before me, it’s important that, while shooting in a street, I find a balance between the different planes of the scène, looking for harmonies and connections with the lines and the characters who comprise the photograph. In this way, I build a narrative that will be interpreted by the future spectator. Finally, I choose to make primarily black-and-white photographs in order to create a particular relationship between the viewer and the print. Black-and-white encourages a certain distance from the subject, keeping the meaning of the photo open and fluid. I appreciate when the viewer’s eyes are guided subtly and gently through tone and light, allowing each person to slip into her or her interpretation and quietly find their own meaning within.

PHOTO REVIEW with Alain Licari

PHOTO REVIEW HIROYUKI NAKADA

PHOTO REVIEW with Hiroyuki Nakada My name is Hiroyuki Nakada. My nationality is Japanese. I am from Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. I've lived in Shanghai, China, since 1999. It was around the end of the 1990s that I began to be aware of photography. It was around the time when compact digital cameras began to appear from various manufacturers. It was also around that time when I moved to Shanghai. I was shooting all the time-- as a record of my life and with a sense of taking notes. I think I was using Fuji cameras most of the time then. I continued shooting thereafter with a single lens reflex camera, but when I returned to Japan for a visit in February, 2010, the GR digital II which I took into my hand during a chance visit to a camera shop, turned out to be what changed my life....What captivated me was that common feeling that all people have when they have this camera in their hands. The monster called photography possessed me and has never ceased to fascinate me. I can no longer think of living without photography. I can no longer forget the pleasure I experience by capturing "living things" with my camera, not even for a moment. For me, photography has already become one of the means to satisfy my innermost spiritual desire-nothing more, nothing less. It could be the manifestation of my curiosity. Probably for me, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer any other method of representation.

I usually don't shoot in color. I believe that photography = monochrome this has become something absolute. I think that I'll continue to pursue black and white photography all the time. Because they make me more imaginative than color photography, and monochrome photography is kind of sensual. It's erotic. I rarely ask for permission of or talk to the people whom I photograph. So I often get stared at, yelled at and even being chased after, but that's the everyday life of a street photographer and I don't consider it to be difficult at all. My real difficulty is what is lurking in my own heart.-- not being sure as to how long I could sustain that strong determination of capturing without fail in my camera what has moved me and how long I could maintain my strength to achieve that. Nothing else but that possesses me. I think that shooting has always been an inner struggle with myself-- as how to give vent of my desires toward the outside world.. Rather than saying I like Daido Moriyama, I venture to say that he is my master. I have learned a great deal from him in terms of "creative techniques". What I have learned from him that is of the greatest importance is "to be constantly in the 'field'". I constantly think about what would result if I replaced Shinjuku, Daido Moriyama's "field", with Shanghai, which is my "street". I arrived at the conclusion that street photo is at any rate the act of prowling around the streets and take a great many photographs. Everything comes down to that. Could there be anything else than that? Now, I am just taking a great many photos. I am giving undivided attention to quantity. My "immediate normalcy" is charging myself to take over 2,000 photos a day. I believe that I would not "awake" if I took more than that. My curiosity is ever vigorous. At any rate, I will continue to dedicate myself wholly to my vocation. 92

The images that I shoot don't have any themes or messages to convey. I wonder if they are necessary, because I believe that photography is the work in which the photographer confronts himself. In a sense, it's the act of swapping the flies flying around in one's head. Well, in that sense, "street" is precisely the "sea of curiosity" for me. I don't think that there is any space that's filled to such an extent with changes .This might be a crude way of putting it-- for me "street" is like the "female organ" itself. Day after day, I release the desires that lurk in the very depth of my being, just as they are, on to "the street". The more I am absorbed in shooting, the more intense such desires become and if I didn't release them, I might go crazy. I believe that what is encompassed by "street" are all the phenomena that occur around me in the course of the time given me in this life, starting with my birth and ending with my death. I capture merely a very small portion of them. As far as photographic techniques are concerned, I've never had any, but well, let me say that all that I aim to do is "to stand alone before my subject and press the shutter of my camera without being aware of doing so, even at a close distance of 30 cm." I do so with the feeling of snatching the soul of my subject. Other people tell me "that's not technique, but a mere ruthless behavior." Every time I shoot, I want to make time stand still with my will, even if it's just for a second.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

The images that I shoot don't have any themes or messages to convey. I wonder if they are necessary, because I believe that photography is the work in which the photographer confronts himself.

Just one second will do, I'm willing to exchange it with my life. If that's possible, all my desires will have been fulfilled. To polish one's photographic techniques? A street photographer needs no photographic techniques, just so long he had the strong determination to capture without fail in his camera his subject. All that matters is concentrated in that conviction.. Oh dear, I've ended up by talking too much :) Hiroyuki Nakada

PHOTO REVIEW with Hiroyuki Nakada Shooting theme explanation â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five Eyes" In Buddhism, there is a teaching called the Five Eyes. The Five Eyes are 5 different types of eyes that discern things physical and spiritual. Naked eye ... Heavenly eye ... Perceptive eye ... Dharma eye ... Buddha eye ...

The human eye The eyes of celestial beings Lacan's eye Bodhisattva's eye The eye of Buddha

The naked eye is for seeing actual colors and forms. To photograph only the surface of the subject is surely not so difficult. But then I am not able to find within me the meaning of photographing the subject. Every day I am tormented by the desire to capture the root of the human soul.

It is an indefinable temptation that rises from the center of the body. In my mind, if there is an image of the sacred world of the Five Eyes, I may be able to see all these things. That is to say, what I need now is to continue taking photographs. What else is there to do? By doing so, one day I will see into the human abyss. While I am shooting I do not know the depth of the photographs. I suppose I will carry the Five Eyes, and continue to recklessly shoot photographs.

Batsceba Hardy

NO RULES STREET PHOTOGRAPHY Street photography must not be subject to any rules; at least that is the opinion of dynamic street photographer and Facebook photo group â&#x20AC;&#x153;no rules street photographyâ&#x20AC;? founder John Hughes. Together with a few photo enthusiasts, the award-winning photographer founded the photography group, always in search of the ultimate street capture. From now on, the weekly nominated photos will appear as a small retrospective in our magazine, because, like John Hughes, we likewise are interested in tracing the trends and spirit of street photography.

eye Catching - Moments

Our online editors, Helena COSTA and Thomas FĂ&#x153;NGERLINGS, did their best to compile an interesting, albeit difficult collection of unique, remarkable and fantastic photos. We call them the "EYE Catching Moments". With great pride and joy, we present these images here, selected in January 2018. We always strive to provide you with a lively cross-section of the different photo styles. The photographs were selected from our Facebook photo group, a group of more than 14,000 members and photographers sharing hundreds of fantastic pictures every day.
