Mamoru Kobayakawa has been photographing since his late teens when he would always carry around his 35mm Nikon FM film camera. During this time he quickly grew fascinated by how people’s expressions seemed infinitely varied; how many different “faces” one can have literally, both when they were aware and unaware of my taking a snapshot of them. He was educated as a musician from an early age and never thought of having a career in photography.
