It Takes Strength To Be Gentle And Kind

Japanese-based publisher Motoyoshino released a new zine by London-based photographer Charlie Tallott at the Tokyo Art Book Fair 2025.

It’s a series of photographs Tallott started taking of his friend (Cole) on his 18th Birthday. The title is inspired by the lyrics of the song "I Know It’s Over" by The Smiths. It represents the process of growing a youth into a man. It captures one of the most important and beautiful periods of life.
