Shot with a medium format camera, the Mamiya 7II, between 2011 and 2014, 'Smoke' emerges as Chikara Umihara’s first photobook exploring the subtle nuances of Japanese culture. This book masterfully curates a series of candid, snapshot-style portraits that capture the essence of introspection. The subjects, settled in their own thoughts and enjoying the simple pleasure of their cigarettes, remain oblivious to the lens that preserves these fleeting instants of solitude. Each photograph serves as a silent testament to their ephemeral presence in the relentless flow of time.
