About the Japanese photographer, Yusuke YAMATANI (b.1985, Niigata)

Yusuke YAMATANI graduated from the Department of Philosophy at Rissho University. He later relocated to Nagasaki where he met Shomei TOMATSU and other photographers from whom he learnt about photography. He received wide acclaim for his early series 'Tsugi no yoru e' which captured the fleeting nature of youth culture. In  confronting the role of photographic media in society, he searches for new possibilities of photographic expression that oscillates between the straight and conceptual. He already published some photo volumes.
