Keiichi Nitta – If the coattails fit…

by sunnyfong

Now, I do snapshot work as well with work that has spanned over 10 years. I was definitely influenced by Wolfgang Tillmans’ aesthetics and Nan Goldin’s sensibilities. But I like to think I add my own cultural edge to my work.

I still love my point-and-shoots cameras.
In fact, yesterday I purchased another little camera for $15… So I’ll probably do some more shooting as the weather gets nicer.

But Terry Richardson’s gotta be pissed that his long-time assistant is now making a name for himself… Doing the exact same kind of photography… I mean, if I were assisting for someone for 6 years, I’d probably expand beyond what I get to see every single day. But hey, I’m unemployed, sick, in therapy and broke. While Keiichi-san over here is being cupped by one of the biggest names in fashion.

Tom Ford always seemed kinda stiff to me even in those ass-baring W Magazine photos but here he looks pretty playful. And Keiichi is the stiff one in this scenario.
