Bloody Moon.






Bloody Moon. Photographs and text by Keiko Nomura. Toseisha, 2006. 80pp., illustrated throughout, 23,2 × 20,7 cm. Images from photo-eye.

'Bloody Moon' features the work of Japanese photographer Keiko Nomura.

As usual (and sadly) with the books published by Toseisha gallery there's very little information to obtain about the works.

However, from what I can understand from the Japanese I believe the photographs where taken over the course of six years (2000-2006) in Okinawa, Amami-Oshima, Taiwan, Hawaii, South India and Tokyo.

It focuses on a group of women and the natural landscape, playing up the sense of colour and strength.
