Daido Moriyama, one of the world's most highly regarded photographers, has published a photo collection titled "Lettre a St.Lou. (First Edition, Signed)". After graduating from the design department of a technical high school, he worked as a commercial designer, and after working as an assistant to photographers Takeji Iwamiya and Eikoh Hosoe, he went independent. He has been active since the 1960s and continues to this day. This book is the first edition of a collection of works published in 1990. The small French city of Saint-Loup is the place where primitive photography techniques were invented by Niepce in 1824. Daido Moriyama also spoke of "the reality of Niepce's photography" in his dialogue with Takuma Nakahira in "Goodbye Photography" (1972). In addition, in the afterword, he writes, "It is an album of the various lights and things that I see every day as I live in 1990, and at the same time, it is also a personal letter in photographs that I send to Saint-Loup on that summer day." The contrast of light and shadow characteristic of Moriyama is engraved in the photographs of ordinary cityscapes and objects depicted as objets d'art. Signed by the photographer . However, the obi is missing.
