Shigeru Tamura was a Japanese photographer notable for his work in fashion and photojournalism, he studied photography at the Oriental School of Photography. With Yoshio Watanabe in 1935 he set up a studio for advertising and other photography in Ginza, Tokyo.
Together with Ken Domon and others, he set up the Young People's Photojournalism Research Society (Seinen Hōdōshashin Kenkyūkai) in 1938. Tamura emerged from the war as a photographer of social issues in Japan, approaching them from a pacifist and left-wing angle. He also traveled, producing books on the Arab world and North Vietnam and in 1963 he set up the Japan Realist Photographers Association (Nihon Riarizumu Shashin Shūdan).
