Daido Moriyama
Daido Moriyama was born 1938 in Osaka, Japan. Since he moved to Tokyo in 1961 to work as an assistant to Eikoh Hosoe, he has been producing collections of photographs which showed the darker sides of urban life and the less-seen parts of cities. In them, he attempted to show how life in certain areas was being left behind the other industrialized parts. Though not exclusively, Moriyama predominantly takes high contrast, grainy, black and white photographs within the Shinjuku area of Tokyo, often shot from odd angels.
