Junku is one of my photographer idols, I always feel hopeful about the medium when I look at his work. I really hope to meet him one day. Roland.

The first time I saw a photo of Junku Nishimura, I took a huge slap! A true and very strong emotion. A unique and creative photographic eye, poetic, inspired, timelessly ... a "Master" essential and incontestable contemporary photography in my eyes. Thank you, thank you very much Mr. Nishimura Junku.

Love your photographs !!

Enhorabuena, you has been blogged here: theworldofphotogr...

much love

"...you will see a myriad of thought-provoking cinematic stills and interesting personas that had caught the attention of the shooter’s inquisitive eyes." 10 questions with Junku www.ontoshikivun.... Thank you Junku. you are a legend and a "true" street photographer.

surely one of the best street photographers I know (and by far) I really appreciate his work in its being an objective reportage of true life and intimate (cozy I would say) at the same time

Soul Mate, Man with Soul More than a great photographer he is a humanist. Took him in the ghetto, he will show you the light, and the beauty of the place. Forever Junku !!!!

You could show me 300 photographers photos, i could tell you who is junku. original, inspiring and a real sound cat. Marking his spot in the book of history.

Beautiful person. Love. X

The only stream here in flickr I took my time to look through photo by photo. I think this is enough saying about Junku! :)

Very inspiring and often surprising. I love the approach and human expressions taken onto film.Your work makes me want to quit my day job and stroll the streets with my camera at night. Shoot at night, sleep at day.. a vampires life ;-)

Absolute stunning work. Junku also reminds me of Daido Moriyama. High contrasty and intimate approach to his subjects. Its always exhilarating to go through Junku's photostream.

when i'm bored and dont know what to do on the internet i always wind up on junku's stream. Distinctive style, class and generosity. favorite

Congratulations. Nice work, look fantastic ...

Junku-san works like addiction, cannot wait see where he is to show next.. such an inspirational person and vision. I can feel he is a kind and warm person behind those lenses, hope to see get to know you one day.

i just started photography with my new nikon d5000. his photos have inspired me to keep taking pics, even if i suck now :)

Junku's images are surreal and strong; They brings out the life in society with such impact that one could never forget.. A different yet unique portrayal of the street and it's contents... Truly a genius!

教師 HAVE A SPECIAL EYE. IS A POINT OF REFERENCE . PRODUCE A SMILE ON MY SOUL PHOTO. THANKS QUIQUE

I admire his photographs for their timeless quality and their humanity. It's a great gift to have the skill to capture these things and a great gift to the Flickr community to share them. Thanks.

His vision is so inspiring. I love his photos.

非常に感動的です.... junkuの新しい写真を見るのはいつも楽しみです. great stuff....

I've started to add some of your pics as fav' but there's too many actually... thanks for bringing dream into reality, light into dark atmosphere, shadows into human complexity... some pieces of life, some pieces of us, thanks..

A camera, a lens, some film, a very good eye and a vision .... my respect for junku-newcleus work.

He's my inspiration for BW street .. along with moriyama

Japan has a great legacy of so called reportage photography with the highlights of Tomatsu Shomei, Moriyama Daido and Hosoe Eikoh, and Junku Nishimura is one of the best followers of the genre with his own fresh expression. Each photo is precious. Спасибо, Дзунку!

simply my favorite photographer

enjoy junku san's photostream in full screen slideshow mode on flickr, you'll experience the best trip, ever!

hard edged cinematic cool. gritty and real.
