The history of Japanese photography is quite distinct from what we usually think of it, particularly post-war photography, because so much work was in black & white.I think Japan is something that we underestimated for many reasons, some of them cultural, some of them to do with language, but I think it’s important to fully understand the significance of Japanese photography.

I don't see myself as photographer. I am just seeing myself as someone who has skills and is using photography. When it comes to the actual idea of being a photographer and a physical image, I would say my images are not good images, they are not good pictures. They are not amazing photographs in that sense. I would say, I am more of a sculptor now.

I have a responsibility to reflect the breadth of photography that’s happening in the world today, as also to reposition some historical figures who I feel are important for the younger generation to know and appreciate and understand.
