Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto! Penrith is turning Japanese. Harold David, a fine fashion photographer, has stepped into Japan and documented a class of people that you will not find in the latest issue of Fruits. Yes, it’s the unglamourous working class. Portraits of men and women of all trades, from tea pickers to garbage men.
When David was touring his last body of work, Tracksuits of St. Mary’s, in Japan, he made a passing comment to the curator about his interest in the incredible uniforms of the workers as subjects. And from this bloomed the project.**Being a fashion photographer, David brings something different to the portrait. A glamour that these utilitarian outfits have never previously been exposed to in their forty six hour Japanese working week.
