Daido Moriyama is a Japanese known for his image portraying the breakdown of traditional values in post-war Japan. Moriyama's work is composed of high contrast images in the streets of Japan. His subjects vary greatly between portraits, still-life, and street photography. I like how he has a distinct style of high contrast black and white images, yet he photographs a variety of subjects.
Moriyama photographs the less recorded areas in Japan. He chooses to take photos of the darker side of urban life, instead of the industrialized parts of Tokyo. Daido's work is mainly black and white and shot with a high ISO. Usually, a high ISO yields a very grainy image. However, the amount of contrast he uses in his photographs takes away from some of the grainyness. I like how he can do something that most photographers try to stay away from and create beautiful photographs.
