CV

Kenta Nakamura is a portrait, documentary, contemporary photographer based in Fukuoka and Tokyo, Japan. Born in 1981. Working for a photo studio LOBJET.
I take photographs of contrasts and vivid images in daily life. A consistent theme of my work is "value expansion/assistance to coexistence". I consider photography as a communication tool. I am glad if I can draw out various emotions of viewers and mutually communicate with them.
