"Sayuri Naito, a photographer living in Tokyo, just published her new book “PONTE 25 DE ABRIL”. (This title was taken from the name of a great bridge over the Tagus River in Lisbon, Portugal - the name of the bridge is translated in English as “25th of April Bridge”. The cover of this book has the image of the bridge and it looks breathtakingly beautiful…).
In this photo book “PONTE 25 DE ABRIL”, we see the everyday scenery of Lisbon without depicting people, which was photographed with calm colors, and expressed through Sayuri Naito’s personal vision.
Her landscape photography has a transparent and strong atmosphere and it makes us feel honest and purified, and also it makes us feel warm, and it brings back our old memories somehow. It seems as if the “bodily warmth” of the universal memories among human beings is being conveyed to us over the border between countries through Sayuri’s landscape photography.
By the way, my writing about her photography is also published as one of the reviews in this book, “PONTE 25 DE ABRIL” by SAYURI NAITO.
All the writings in this book are translated in Japanese, English, and Portuguese.
It’s a lovely, wonderful book… I recommend it toYOU!"
