Daido Moriyama - He prowls the street like a stray dog.

THIS VIDEO: Photographer Daido Moriyama is a restless traveler and has created works in cities around the world…like New York, Barcelona and LA. When you watch videos of them working, they have a focused hungry look as they prowl the streets for images that go to the heart of the space that they are working in. Their unsettled natures drives them to unearth a record a brutal beauty from the street - capturing scenes that were considered taboo or neglected by mainstream society. Moriyama sought out the marginalized and hidden aspects of urban life, documenting subcultures, back alleys, and the surreal. His images typically contain harsh contasts, lots of grain and tilted angles – so he’s probably the polar opposite of say, Ansel Adams. He’s not interested in technical perfection, he only cares what the image feels like. Petersen is probably driven by his heart and gut, while Moriyama, was also motivated by a need to explore photography itself.
