Apparently, no one knew that this woman was an amazing photojournalist until her photographs were sold at an antiques auction a few years ago. At that point, she was on her deathbed, so the man who found/fell in love with her medium format photographs (most of which she took using B&W film in a rollei camera) was never able to tell her how amazing he thought her photos. Her works are currently showcased on a blog, website, and a soon to be published book. Craziness.

This is one of my favorites:

Artist Review #17: Ishimoto Yasuhiro

Ishimoto Yasuhiro's most famous work was completed from 1953 to 1954 and documents the Imperial Villa of Katsura, a Japanese town that was established during the 17th century in the Imperial era. The structures that comprise the village incorporate many elements to be found later in Modernist designs, yet also reference ongoings of the 17th century.

Yasuhiro was trained in a manner that referenced the Bauhaus, and he learned to pay attention to shapes, shadows, and angles when looking at his subjects. When he turned his lens to Katsura, he was left with images that resembled "the grid-like composition of a Mondrian painting." His clean aesthetic and lack of excess in his works align with the aims of both Modernism and the traditional Japanese architecture style.

His compositions are clean, his tones are rich, and his focus is crisp. Together, these elements allow Yasuhiro's works to be visually stunning and appealing to me as both a lover of architecture and as a photographer.
