The photographs of Nagano Shigeichi in this selection cover the period from the latter half of the 1950’s through the EXPO ’70 World Trade Exposition in Osaka in 1970.
They were taken mainly for publication in various photo magazines.
At the time they appeared, these photographs drew attention because they differed somewhat in technique from similar photographs based on matters of social concern ( which today have become to be known as reportages and documentaries ).
Critics and journalist, therefor, tagged Nagano’s work as ‘photo essays’, a term which they felt described them best.
