Nagano Shigeichi began to work as a freelance photographer in 1954. He was a pioneer of a new type of reportage that "exploited more personal viewpoints and placed a greater priority on the evocative power of the visual images themselves." In his photographs of around 1960, Nagano depicts how high-speed growth changed the living environments, particularly in the cities. At the end of the 1960s he worked in movies and television before returing to still photography in the late 1980s.
