Miyamoto is the world famous creator of Super Mario. This shoot took place in the Hotel Costes swimming pool on Rue Faubourg, Saint Honore in Paris and was a commission from Le Point Magazine. More often than not these hotels are nice, but make for boring locations for photoshoots. After scouting the hotel for some time, I decided we should shoot in the swimming pool because it had nice lighting.
Shigeru couldn’t speak a word of English, but it was just a picture piece so the words didn’t matter. I remember laughing a lot. I shot this on a big Pentax 6×7 medium format with one light at the back and asked the Le Point journalist I was with to hold the curtains together. I did have the journalist’s hand holding the curtains together in the original shot but the layout editor took it out. What a shame!

Newport, U.K.| 1990
This series was photographed in Newport, Wales. The work looks at everyday life in the city during a period of change and uncertainty. Children played in abandoned buildings left behind by redevelopment. In church halls, ballet lessons and drawing classes carried on, giving structure and creativity to young people’s lives. At the same time, older residents kept up their routines, swimming together and holding on to traditions of community. The photographs record ordinary moments in Newport—play, learning, and leisure—set against the backdrop of a city in transition.

“Peter wanted to capture what he saw on his travels. Drawing and painting felt too slow, but in 1976 he discovered that the camera was perfect. With just a couple of lenses and a few rolls of film in his pocket, he could create memories to last a lifetime—each picture telling its own story.” www.instagram.com/colnagoeps/
