As part of Free Spirit Media and Art Design Chicago’s ongoing video series, Chicago-based video journalist Sam Kelly set out to capture the response of young photographers to the DePaul Art Museum’s exhibition "Yasuhiro Ishimoto: Someday, Chicago."

"Yasuhiro Ishimoto: Someday, Chicago" examines the work of American-born photographer Yasuhiro Ishimoto (1921–2012) through the lens of Chicago, where Ishimoto lived for nearly a decade and where he would continue to return throughout his life. Celebrated by many as one of the most influential photographers of Japan in the 20th century, Ishimoto also maintained deep ties to his adopted home city where he arrived in 1945 after having been interned during World War II. It was in Chicago that he first developed his uniquely modernist vision—both at the historic Institute of Design in dialogue with László Moholy-Nagy, Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind, and other teachers there; and in the city’s streets, where he captured changes reflective of broader societal shifts happening across the United States.

Sam Kelly is an Arts and Culture Reporter for The Real Chi, a community newsroom dedicated to covering the west and south sides of the city.
