Yurie Nagashima was born in Tokyo 1973. She won a Parco prize while she was at Musashino-Art college. She also won Kimura Ihei award in 2000 which was a same worth as Akutagawa award in the book world. (Akutagawa award is the most valuable book-award in Japan.) She became a famous woman photographer after taking semi nude of her family. She were working to open her exhibition in foreign countries.

She forcused on her family particularly her husband in her photojournals "Not Six". It means "a good-for-nothing" or "scoundrel". We can say it "ろくでなし". So, she used its word as a colloquial expression. I picked up two pictures from her photjournal "Not Six". She has taken a photo of her husband naturaly for seven years. He changed from others to a boyfriend, husband and a menber of family for her. She took natural photos in her life. I can feel comfortable from her book. I want to buy it. People who bought her photojournal "Not Six" from the Internet praised her natural "love" with her husband. Additionally, they said that they want to take a lover's photo or express their "love" with photos like Yurie Nagashima. So, we can feel same feeling from her photo. Can feel only Japanese? I really hear foreigner's opinions.
