  "Japan has a great legacy of so called reportage photography with the highlights of Tomatsu Shomei, Moriyama Daido and Hosoe Eikoh, and Junku Nishimura is one of the best followers of the genre with his own fresh expression. Each photo is precious. Спасибо, Дзунку!"

  "i really enjoy to view mr. junku 's photographs. like he said, in his picture, he surely catch the soul and the beat. all his photos really represent the japanese soul. its very old school, its very juicy. but at same time, he add his funky beat into the picture. his photo also looks very modern, especially the highly contrast and texturing. i have no idea on his gear leica, but im sure he choose the right gear for his need. hope you all enjoy as much as i do."

  zschwartz says:

  "One of the preeminent street photographers alive today; Junku Nishimura understands light. and form. and grace. He goes out into the night, bows to intuition, and delivers--consistently. Junku has a legitimate, unique style, which every photographer aspires to develop. He will be in galleries for many years to come."

  marco pedrana says:

  "everybody has writers who he would like to know and befriend after reading their works: junku is one of these for me.
  he may not write books, but his shots are the kind of narrative i treasure the most.
  
  because it's humanistic in the best sense, close to men and women and how they work inside and how they feel.
  
  it's intimate without being intrusive, it cherishes humanity and it's like it smiles back at its characters, partaking their little or big sufferances and making them feel maybe better for that.
  
  it's friendly but so calmly balanced that it hids its craftmanship, letting its characters and story shine, for the brief time of a single picture, out of the darkness in which everybody is bound to fade in.
  but for that brief instant, they brightly shine.
  
  yeah, i would so much tag along some of junku' stories."

  abuhind says:

  "This is photography at its best. Junku can actually motivate you to go out there and try to make good images. His compositions are out of this world and the moods,contrasts and styles are on the money. You have your own voice man!! All I can say is thank you for sharing this with us it's "real" I guess by now you guys figured that I really, really like his work. Cheers man and keep doin' what you doin' cause it's workin'"

  mel-pin says:

  "Junku Nishimura.
  Just impossible to resist to the strength of his b/w poetic vision. Though it's not romantic poetry. His shots open slowly a little door that lead directly to the core of the visual event. We can see the rough beauty of a smiling yet desperate lady and the thin fingers of a sleeping drunken man. We can enter the darkness of an unknown japanese night just to meet the expressive eyes of a singing woman.
  Through Junku's lense reality is enfolding like a fiction-film full of rich shadows, enigmatic dialogues and hard lights.
  I love the density of this reality. Junku's visual sincerity is a precious gift to us.
  He's one of the best photographers I know."

  scribeoflight says:

  "Junku is a tenacious photographer with a passion for catching the difficult and beautiful photos so many people can't catch. As he himself might say: Junku finds it, Junku closes in, and Junku shoots. His Leica makes him who he is, I feel; and I have a huge amount of respect and understanding for that connection of camera and photographer. Most importantly, his photos inspire me to take more photos.
  
  If photography was a battle, I'd want to be fighting on his side. Keep going, Junku."

  "Your pictures have an incredible soul and texture. They look like taken from movies, movies you had directed. Your B&W treatment is a must. Just don't stop shooting, and get a good publisher ! I wish to see you on the walls of gallery soon. A fan, Lulu"

  "junku-newcleus is one of my favorite "human emotion" witness, all his shots express so much power and drama. His vision and angle are sharp and genious. His work can talk much more than words, and every one of his pictures takes you to the moment and fills you with a variety of emotions."
