Akihisa Nakamura is a Japanese photographer.

When I look at these photos I feel like he has captured simple moments from his life in a beautiful way. The viewer is easily brought into personal moments of the photographer’s life. We have no way of knowing what these moments actually meant or why they were important to the photographer, but we don’t need that. The viewer doesn’t need any the of backstory. Yet we can still understand their value and share these personal moments with strangers.

  1. I just checked out his flickr and you're right--he has a way of capturing these beautiful little quiet moments. There's a lot of light in his work, and maybe a preference for pastel colors, which adds to the hushed tone.
