Mutsumi Makino’s Miyazaki City

In the work of 29-year-old photographer Mutsumi Makino, we are exposed to a view of her native Japan through its anonymous people and hidden places, unseen outside the hustle bustle of the country’s city spaces that populate tourist snapshots.

Makino has been taking pictures since she was 22 and received a film camera as a gift on the occasion of her first overseas trip. “It was start of my photo life,” she tells us. Since then, she has grown comfortable behind the lens and embarked on a journey to capture her surroundings—which are populated with his loved ones, animals and picturesque views of Miyazaki city.

“Miyazaki city is in the south. It is rich in nature, which is one of my favorite things about living here. The basis of my works is capturing nomal life with the people I love.”
