Kyotographie: from Kyoto, with love
Kyotographie — the brainchild of photographer Lucille Reyboz and lighting artist Yusuke Nakanishi — is 5 this year. Conceived and nurtured in Kyoto, it is now one of few substantial photography festivals in Japan, inarguably rivaling, even surpassing, many of the country's other calendar art events. The present manifestation of the festival celebrates its anniversary, the field of photography and all those who helped make the event possible.
