World Press Photo 17
Tokyo Photographic Art Museum
Since this is a collection of news photographs, it wasn’t unusual, while viewing the exhibit, to come across a familiar image. What was helpful here were the descriptions and often the context, as some were part of a larger series. The collection included around 100 images from the annual journalism awards, printed on poster board with background information in both Japanese and English. Some of the more interesting images in the collection were from long-term projects, such as a series by an Iranian photographer working within his own culture, as well as a Finn shooting a small rural community in the US midwest.
Worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood, but not perhaps a special trip.
