Daido Moriyama – Gambling in the Dressing Room, Tokyo 1966

Daido Moriyama’s work shows the darker sides of urban life and the city. He has had a radical impact on the photographic and art world in both Japan and in the West though his expressive style of rough, blurred and out of focus photography. He has also made an impact because of his quick snapshots without looking in the viewfinder. I like his technique of the out of focus and quick shot photography and will experiment with a couple of these shots in my own work.
