This is a collection of works by Yoshihiko Ueda, one of Japan's leading contemporary photographers. This nearly 600-page retrospective summarises Ueda's 20-year career. While a leading figure in commercial photography for companies like Suntory and Shiseido, Ueda is also highly regarded in the field of fine art photography, and continues to garner worldwide attention. This book begins with black-and-white photographs of Andy Warhol and Robert Mapplethorpe from the 1980s, followed by color portraits of Patti Smith and Ray Charles, and occasional still life shots, including portraits of Yu Aoi, Karen Kirishima, Kirin Kiki, Takuya Kimura, and Takeshi Kitano (and, of course, the Iyemon couple, played by Masahiro Motoki and Rie Miyazawa). The middle to latter half of the book features representative works that have also been published as photobooks, such as "Flowers," "Contemporary Nudes 3 WOMEN," "Amagatsu," "at HOME," "Chamber of Curiosities," "Materia," "Mies van der Rohe," and "River," with unpublished commercial images glimpsed here and there. This is a book that will leave you enthralled with its breathtakingly beautiful and delicate works and prints. Signed by the photographer .
