May outside the city 五月の郊外

FUCHIKAMI Hakuyo 淵上白陽

This photograph appears to have been taken with a Verito soft focus lens. The print is enlarged in a straightforward way that takes advantage of the flare characteristic of this lens. The expression is atmospheric, capturing the light and feeling of May in a poetic manner, and drawing the viewer into a romantic world. This work is typical of that produced by a photographer who insisted that the foundation of art photography was “the expression of atmosphere and feeling.”

作品画像：収容所の生活は楽ではなかった。美容院で髪を洗ってもらうことは、女性にとってよい気分転換だった。洗髪は1ドル、パーマは2ドル、美容師の月給は16～19ドルだった。
