Nozomi Iijima, born in Saitama, Japan, studied photography under the guidance of Hiroyasu Nakai, a professional photographer, at Place M, Tokyo.
Her photography often deals with her background, being raised as a livestock farmer’s daughter. Her home, surrounded with a pigpen, a cowshed and a vegetable patch, frequently appears in her photo works.
Her project visualizes the relationship between land and the life of people who live there.
