Hiroshi Sugimoto, a renowned Japanese photographer and architect, is known for his extensive black-and-white photography of natural-history dioramas, wax-figure installations, seascapes, and ornate movie theatre interiors. His photos, I feel, play with reality and presents us with things that no longer exit and question if it or they are real as well as creating this hyper realistic beautiful images that don't look real (such as the ocean photos). In the exhibition the images were displayed on their own and have their own space to allow the viewer to fully emerge into the different photos on their own. I really like how beautifully simple and detailed the images are and how when I was in the exhibition you could stand and look at a photo and see several little details in these large images.

Daido Moriyama is a Japanese photographer best known for his black-and-white street photography and association with the avant-garde photography magazine Provoke. His photos, I feel, explores the quick fleeting moments of life and demonstrating real people and real things rather than having things being staged or performed.In the exhibition the images were displayed in lots of creative ways, such as collections of photos together, two falls full of his images and different compositions of photos placed together (which was very different to the layout of Sugimoto's photos). I really like how natural and chaotic the images are and I really enjoyed viewing the images in a different but interesting way.
