Nitta Masanori

I travel from Japan to Brazil every year, visiting the area that juts out the most into the Atlantic Ocean (a strategic point from which slaves were brought from Africa), and accumulating photographs centered on the favelas and the religions practiced by the descendants of Africans who live there.
In recent years, I have focused on producing printed materials as an output of my photographs, creating photo zines using risograph printing as a counter-argument from the printing zone to the notion that "high pixel count and high resolution equal a good photograph."
