Working as a designer and leather craftsman under the brand crambox creating, he first picked up a camera to document bags and wallets, chasing the fine differences in texture under the fingertips and the shadows thrown by the angle of light. That attention eventually turned outward, onto the streets of the city he works in. What he found there, and what this book collects, are fragments of what he calls nameless stories — moments in a city changing minute by minute, in which something beyond the plain facts of the scene is briefly legible. He cuts those fragments out and layers his own feeling over them. The result is Osaka at night as a continuous, cinematic arc rather than a set of images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographs by omi kim, designer, craftsman and photographer based in Osaka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequenced as a single continuous day, from dusk through neon and deep night to morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain-slicked streets, reflections and neon — the register that made omi kim's urban night photography widely followed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Geijutsu Shinbunsha, Tokyo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow a craftsman's habit of reading texture and raking light transfers from a workbench to a city street at night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe moment of shift change in an Osaka evening, when people heading home cross those heading out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflection used structurally rather than decoratively — wet asphalt and glass doubling the neon into something closer to fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat it means to sequence a photobook as a film, and what the ending does to everything before it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eomi kim is a designer, craftsman and photographer based in Osaka.
