What are the more famous street photographers in Japan?

From the perspective of photography itself, the difficulty of street shooting is still quite high. We should not only overcome our inner cowardice, but also try to capture a little light in the city streets full of all kinds of restless elements. Complex light field environment, fleeting plot, seemingly endless waiting, aimless wandering, and even many times you will feel that the camera in your hand is more like an obstacle that limits you from getting close to reality. In short, street shooting is an unspeakable complex for many photographers. Once or twice, you may just pray for a steady focus.

Street shooting is a wanton intrusion into other people's world, so you will find that many photographers have their own usual solutions. Neither Nobuyoshi Araki's initiative to strike up a conversation nor Walker Evans' hiding of the camera is as simple and rude as J from marc cohn.

Marc cohn often sets the camera in advance, suddenly raises the camera before passers-by can react, takes a picture rudely and leaves. In this unprepared situation, people often present a true state of being unprepared. This way of shooting is called "invasion" by himself.

This way of shooting makes people have no time to concentrate on composition, so marc cohn doesn't look at the viewfinder at all, and blind shot does it by instinct.
