"Novel Photography" is a photo collection by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of Japan's most highly acclaimed photographers. Influenced by his father, a clog craftsman and amateur photographer, he started photography, and after graduating from the Department of Photographic Printing Engineering at Chiba University's Faculty of Engineering, he joined Dentsu. While taking advertising photos, Araki has been exploring new forms of photography using the company's equipment, and since the 1970s has released sensational works such as "Oh Japan" and "Sentimental Journey," and has published over 500 photo books to date. This book is a compilation of his serialization in the magazine "Da Vinci." In a conversation with author Eimi Yamada at the beginning of the book, Araki explains the concept of this book by saying, "I call it novel photography, but it's not like I'm trying to visualize novels, it's just something that I'm doing in the spirit of a novel. I didn't choose the novels, it's just that the girls said they liked them." He photographed female models based on the images from the novels. It contains 27 books, ranging from pure literature to foreign novels (Yamada also served as a model for his own novel, "Animal Logic").
