Abstract

This article explores the similarities and differences between the photographic production of Naito Masatoshi (from the mid-1960s to 2012) and the contemporary work of Shiga Lieko. Said exploration will reveal the importance that the Tohoku region has for the projects of both photographers, as well as the exploration of the relationship between the visible and the invisible in photography. In parallel, the main thematic concerns and visual strategies of his photographic productions will be detailed, as well as the impact they have on the history of photography in Japan and the possibilities they open up for a new documentary photography.
