Jacob Aue Sobol – I, Tokyo

Arrivals and Departures with Jacob Aue Sobol: Episode 5 – Beijing
Link: Arrivals and Departures with Jacob Aue Sobol: Episode 5 – Beijing « The Leica CameraI admire all the people I take pictures of because they put themselves in a very vulnerable position.

Arrivals and Departures with Jacob Aue Sobol: Episode 3 – The Train
Link: Arrivals and Departures with Jacob Aue Sobol: Episode 3 – The Train « The Leica CameraEven though I am a photographer, I try to avoid being a voyeur. It has always been my ambition not only to look, but also take part in life, which can be quite frustrating, especially if you have a tight deadline. If I meet someone playing soccer in the street, I immediately feel like playing with them instead of just watching. I never found it interesting to look at someone from the other side of the street, or to be “invisible” as a photographer. I hope this is the reason why people never feel like a voyeur looking at my images– because you feel that you are taking part.
