Megumi Otsuka chronicles the Japanese megacity through small moments captured on black-and-white film. The book consists of 70 photographs taken since she began shooting street photography in Tokyo in 2003. Her style focuses on innocuous, everyday scenes that radiate a subtle energy, with great care for the balance between her subjects and their surroundings, and the photographs depict the inner workings of human nature, from joy to anger, sadness and emptiness.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
