These photos prove you should have spent summer in Berlin

Dazed photographer Fumi Nagasaka’s favourite place to spend summer is Berlin. She’s been tripping back and forth from her home in New York to the German capital for the past couple of sunshine seasons, and has dug through her archive to share a particularly fond series she took while there in 2013, titled “Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed”. “For people like me living in New York and always busy and stressed. Berlin is totally different, and shocking in a way,” she reveals. “You could choose the life that you can do whatever you want and not to be bothered by anyone.” Her black and white photos manifest the enviable laid back attitude that’s found amongst the city’s streets, parks and venues. Nagasaka adds, “People in Berlin have their own world and really enjoy it in they own way. They don’t really care about what other people think and that inspires me – I wanted to photograph those beautiful moments.”
