"First Light" is a photo collection by Japanese photographer Norio Kobayashi. One of Japan's leading landscape photographers, Norio Kobayashi is also considered a pioneer of the "New Topographics" movement, which includes American photographers Robert Adams and Louis Bolz. His first collection, "Landscapes," published privately in 1986, won him the Photographic Society of Japan's Newcomer Award. His landscape photographs, capturing the transformation of suburban and new town areas in Tokyo and Kanagawa, not only depict the changing times of the city, but also create a strange world where past, present, and future, as well as natural and man-made objects, intertwine. This book, published in 1993, is the winner of the 18th Kimura Ihei Award. It is divided into three parts: "Alteration," primarily shot in Tokyo's Tama New Town; "Reduction," set in Okutama and Yamanashi; and "Recollection," shot in Kawasaki's Keihin Industrial Zone. These profoundly beautiful works perfectly blend the "New Topographics" perspective of Boltz and others with the "New Color" elements of Joel Meyerowitz and others. Signed by the photographer .
