About Yasujirō Ozu - 小津 安二郎

Simply photos inspired by the films of Yasujirō Ozu or in the style / manner of his films.

Themes:
Relationships between the generations
Certain static objects as transitions
Distinctive visual style
Minimalist storytelling
Character-driven emphasis on quiet and intelligent conversation.

In particular any photos with the style of Yasujirō Ozu "tatami shot", in which the camera is placed at a low height, supposedly at the eye level of a person kneeling on a tatami mat. Actually, Ozu's camera is often even lower than that, only one or two feet off the ground. He used this low height even when there were no sitting scenes, such as when his characters walked down hallways.
