Self Seeker in NYC by Tatsuya Sato

This Japanese photographer travels throughout the world and is a traveling photo-journalist.
"And through his lens the ordinary becomes extraordinary and poetic. He confers moods and emotions upon everyday subjects or scenes which he captures in a mystery of lights & shadows reflect a perspective of relationship between people, society and the natural world by internal images".

His work has a calming, mysterious feel to it. Capturing people in their everyday lives, he places his own emotion into the photo, showing that although this may be a daily routine, it can be so much more as well. We all fall into the same daily habits, thinking little of the commute to work or the walk to class. It appears that capturing this trivial, daily event, you can step back and look at it, appreciating what is around you. As Tatsuya Sato shows, these mindless activities can be transformed into art.
