Yumeji, Zushi Beach, 2015
Noguchi: ‘People gather at the beach seeking the warmth of the winter sun. Families, couples, individuals and even someone taking a nap during a break from a nearby construction site. I captured the moment when these four different groups came together. At the same time, my then five-year-old daughter, who was playing in the sand at my feet, jumped in front of the camera. I felt like I was given the opportunity to capture a slice of everyday life. It is a memorable piece that showcases how street photography, family photography, and my work as a photographer can come together’
