The texture of a shaved head becomes an intricate landscape in this high-contrast black and white composition. Captured in 1981, this print exemplifies the Provoke movement’s aesthetic of grain and blur. The close-up perspective pushes the subject to the very foreground, while the hazy background of Tokyo provides a rhythmic, urban backdrop that feels both immediate and distant.

About black and white photography

Black and white photography removes colour so shape, light and emotion lead. Vintage prints preserve the look of the film stocks, papers and printing methods of their time. The original image dates from 1981. Fine art photography is made to be displayed and contemplated, like a painting.

Styling this black and white photograph

Black-and-white tones give this black and white photograph a moody character that holds a room. As a landscape piece, “Daido Moriyama” fills the space above a desk at 24×36″, while 12×18″ suits a smaller wall, and it is a natural fit for a home office. Because “Daido Moriyama” is black and white, it pairs with any colour scheme; a slim black frame and a wide mat complete the look.
