A walk through Tokyo-born street photographer @shinnoguchiphotos ‘s series ‘One Two Three,’ an intimate composition of fleeting moments with his daughters. “I just click the shutter at moments in the life of my family. In those unposed, unstaged scenes, I hear a certain kind of music. Jazz. Like the improvisation Eric Dolphy spoke of, if I miss the beat, it’s gone into the air, never to be captured again. Through these photographs, I try to create more time for communication between parent and child—between myself and my three daughters—and to help nurture their self-esteem. They show me such beautiful moments. I feel they are gifts—moments given to me. When those rare gifts appear in front of me, I can’t help but catch them. Capturing these moments is the same as street photography. I try to photograph them from a distance beyond personal space, so they can be shared with viewers, as street photographs are. If someone asks me, “Are these photos art, or life?” I want to answer: life is art. I’ve never called my photography “art,” but these moments show me what art feels like.” | Milk Studios
