PHOTOGRAPHY BY KAYO UME TEXT BY OLGA NORMAN

Kayo Ume’s latest work, White Dog, was published in 2016 and follows the journeys of Ryo, the family dog. Shot with her persistent canniness and humour, the reader views the dog’s life in rural Japan, all shot in Kayo Ume’s distinctive way - full of difficult moments, awkward moments, happiness and intimacy; the ingredients for a life well lived. 

One of the most successful artists of her generation in Japan, Kayo Ume’s photography absorbs the spirit of fleeting, intimate moments like no other. Kayo Ume’s talent is to capture these precious moments in snaps of children, the elderly, her family, street images and even the family dog with a sense of humour, spontaneity, tenderness and humanity.
