Known for his tranquil and poetic photographs and installations, Yamamoto Masao’s new portfolio marks his second installment, following his 2020 release of “Birds.” The selection was made in collaboration with Benrido and the artist, and, like his previous works, the prints have been faithfully reproduced from the sepia-toned originals. Furthermore, some of the works in this portfolio have already sold out in his original editions, making them available exclusively as collotype prints.
YAMAMOTO MASAO
Born in Aichi Prefecture in 1957, he began taking photographs at the age of 16 and, after studying painting, began exhibiting his work using gelatin silver prints. He received acclaim following a solo exhibition in San Francisco in 1994, and has since focused on exhibiting in galleries in Europe and the United States. He currently has a studio on the southern foot of Mount Yatsugatake in Yamanashi, where he presents tranquil, poetic photographs and installations featuring nature, still lifes, and people.
