"I’m doing photography, but it feels like I’m building houses
like a carpenter or cooking curry like
a chef, because I’m constructing
pictures based on my fantasies" – Kazunori Nagashima, Getty Images Prestige photographer.
Much of the imagery in Getty Images Prestige is the result of the
unique relationship between art director and photographer — built over
many years of collaborating to devise unique and original ideas or new
takes on classic themes.
This imagery is shot and produced all over the world. In this video
Getty Images Senior Art Director Masaaki Kobayashi discusses the
simplicity of the Japanese aesthetic and introduces four of Japan’s most
