"My Beloved Yuka" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Kazumi Takahashi. Born in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture in 1963, he graduated from Tokyo College of Photography and completed his postgraduate studies there. Since the 1990s, he has consistently maintained a personal perspective, quietly focusing on subjects rooted in familiar presences and memories. His work exudes a sense of distance, underpinned by a trusting relationship with his subjects, and a gentle gaze. Published in 2021, this black-and-white photo collection crystallizes this gaze. Using a young girl named "Yuka," he delicately portrays the poetry and passage of time hidden in ordinary moments of daily life. His composition and handling of light are understated yet deliberate, quietly demonstrating the visual language the photographer has cultivated over the years. The binding is simple yet meticulously crafted to enhance the impact of the work. Despite its limited print run, this book has earned high praise among photography enthusiasts.
