ABOUT

Black & White Note 1996-1999 is a collection of black and white photographs that Jun Abe shot on the streets of Osaka.  Abe’s photographs are multi-layered, make good use of interesting juxtapositions, and feature excellent subject framing.

"Abe seems to have a special ability that all street photographers long for . . . invisibility.  When I look at many of his photographs, I find myself thinking, “I wonder how he managed to shoot that?”.  It is almost like the people that he is shooting don’t know he is there or he took the photograph just as they were starting to notice or sense his presence". - Derrick Choo
