You are either born to be a photographer or not. The art of photography is not something you can learn in the classroom or by watching someone do it.
A major figure in contemporary photography, Araki Nobuyoshi addresses the most controversial parts of Japanese culture through his deeply intimate and provocative photographs.
My photos are my diary. Every photo is no more than the representation of a single day. And each day contains the past and the projection into the future. That’s why I feel compelled to indicate the date on every picture I take.
