A short video shot by Iori Yoneda during the From Above exhibition in Dresden, Germany.
From Above was exhibited simultaneously in Dresden and Tokyo. A couple more days to catch to the exhibition before it closes in both cities.
Thank you to everyone in both cities who came to the exhibitions. A big thank you to the Dresden and Tokyo teams who made it possible for the photos to be exhibited. Without their tireless efforts none of this would be possible.

Sad news, Ms. Hisayo Yamashita passed away earlier this month. She is the 2nd person I photographed for “From Above” that has passed.
During the short period of time we were around her, Ms. Yamashita left a great impression on us all. Her friendship will be deeply missed.
It was honor to have known her and call her my friend.
