The World's most expensive camera manufacturers company giving award to a photographer who shoots on a cheap compact camera. Much respect and ❤️.

he doesn’t use cheap cams

A photographer who works with a Ricoh GR, no? Not with a Nikon, a Pentax, a Rollei or a Leica, or even a Hasselblad, no! With a simple, little Ricoh GR! Hat down! You're a real Master !

Daido Moriyama has forever freed photographers from the “slavery” of equipment and the utopia of the perfect shot, in technical terms. I would never have taken up photography, if it was not his mantra “walk, get inspired, shoot”, that clicked in me to grab a cheap, point-and-shoot camera and go out.

[@stryd3rassassin]

He really inspired me to shoot more freely and in a more expressive style rather than adhere to rigid sets of rules, after all Daido does what he wants! I love that.

Daido Moriyama is an artist who is not an artist in terms of mastering flawless technique. He is an artist in terms of freezing a moment and bringing his witnessing to us who want to view the beauty in the small events of his witnessing. Who want to try to see what he appreciates. He is an accomplished pedestrian with very quick visual reflexes. His art seems both fierce and gently compassionate. Like any truly good man he knows that a man’s greatest strength lies in his gentleness. There is no rage in his work, only love. This what we see. DAIDO MORIYAMA winner of the 2019 Hasselblad award for excellence in photography.

Because of Moriyama and photographers like him I've created my own photobooks, for myself and others. Such a incredible influence, far beyond any so-called "influencer" on social media today.

Much respect! I look up to Daido Moriyama a lot, and his photos speak to me. I love how uncompromising they are.

[@laurencetaylor1092]

Fantastic. My favourite photographer by a country mile. And someone who's inspired me far more than anyone else. Despite being a portrait and landscape photographer, I love to just walk and shoot whatever catches my eye, moves me, interests me. If you're sick of bland "street" photography go buy one of his books.

Selamat pagi, apakah bisa ekpresi diperlihatkan dengan sengaja jika pemikiran saya sebelum berekpresi adalah merasa terlebih dahulu

[@denieriswanto9714]
