*** TAKEOVER ***
A new month, a new takeover! This time we have Japanese photographer as our guest. So happy she found some time to show us her work here the coming days.
Miyuki Okuyama is a Japanese photographer who lives in the Netherlands. She works on documentary, art photo and self-designed photo-books.
Her images are often taken with the perspective of an expatriate Japanese. For more than 20 years, she has been living away from home and it was after her move from home that she started photography. Yet, her creations are deeply rooted into her childhood in northeast Japan. Being away from home became one of her most important drives for photography. Through photographing, she seeks connections to her origin.
Her works have been exhibited internationally, including in Ivory Coast, Indonesia, Germany, Singapore, The Netherlands and Italy . She won several intenational photography awards and two of her self-designed books were published as the winners of photo-book awards.
A big welcome to Miyuki Okuyama. Follow her this week here on 🖤
