Posted by Jaymal Nathwani on
“Even when the days and months are long, life is still short.”-Japanese proverb 32mm / f16 / 100s / ISO 100 This dispatch is the last in the series. It has been a real joy sharing these new photographs with you and I'm grateful for the responses I've had as I have been releasing each set. All the images have been uploaded to the homepage of my website www.jaymalnathwani.photo and can be previewed there. I'm in the process of re-launching the site and store and these images will be available early 2021 where I also hope to announce a few plans to exhibit them! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any question...

“Photography is like a found object. A photographer never makes an actual subject, they just steal the image from the world.”-Hiroshi Sugimoto A walk through the sacred. Japan, 2019. 64mm / f4.5 / 15s / ISO 125 Last month I wrote to ask for your support in our efforts for EMpower's annual fundraiser, and you didn't disappoint. I'm so pleased and grateful to say that our team was able to raise £50,000, which will be matched by EMpower's generous underwriters for the same amount, after cycling 1500km. The overall challenge has seen numerous teams raise £2million - a herculean effort in such a difficult year! As I promised, everyone who supported us will have their name entered...

“If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything and it is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the mind of the expert there are few.”-Shunryu Suzuki Subtle Tranquility. Japan, 2019. 64mm / f10 / 30s / ISO 125 In this dispatch I'd like to start by making a personal request which comes with a chance to win an signed, framed, first edition print of one of my Japan photographs for as little as £25 upon their release early next year. As you know, proceeds of my first series of work were donated to EMpower in 2018 and 2019. EMpower usually hosts a wonderful dinner in...

“Joy comes from appreciation. Appreciation comes from paying attention. Paying attention is the practice of zen.”-Japanese Proverb Wise Old Pier. Japan, 2019. 23mm / f11 / 60s / ISO 100 It's always a daunting process sending new work out after a while, and so I'm extremely grateful for all of the kind comments and feedback to my first dispatch a few weeks ago. As promised, I will be sending more work out between now and year end and having written extensively last time about the basis of this new work and future plans, I will keep these emails much shorter going forwards. I went to Japan at the end of...

“ When Zen is not Zen, nothing exists” - Japanese Proverb God's Rays. Japan, 2020. 23mm / f14 / 8s / ISO 200 It has been almost a year since I last published a newsletter with some new photographs and my conversation with Scott Reither, so I apologise for the length of this note! As continues to be the case at every step of the way on my photography journey, saying yes to one thing seems to open the door to another opportunity or experience and I was thrilled when a few months after our conversation, Scott suggested we meet up in Japan for a 3 week shooting trip. Considering...
