I just had picked up this portrait book called ” Columbia Road Flower Market” by a Photographer, Kiyotaka Hatanaka.
Soft natural lighting and Sepia like neutral colored photos of different everyday people holding their flowers and plants they may have bought from the market. In a way nothing special but also very compelling I find.
Nothing shocking or challenging and it does just feel good and comforting. Here, I’m attaching the artist’s site for you to check out. You can take a look at a few pages of the book under his “project” section.
I find his portraits are very strong.
