"Memorial Photos / Memorial Nudes 41" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Shin Yamagishi (1950-). Yamagishi works extensively on portraits and portraiture, and is particularly known for his vivid portrayals of women. This book is a collection of nude portraits featuring ordinary readers, depicting women who are not professional models, each capturing their own individual personalities and everyday lives. Their tense and shy expressions, natural gestures, and gazes directed toward the camera transcend the photographic field, revealing the individual's way of life and humanity. Eschewing ostentatious staging and photo-editing, the photographs emphasize life-size presence, and, as the word "memorial" suggests, capture a moment in the subject's life. Combining the intimacy of portraiture with the documentary quality, this book offers viewers a uniquely captivating blend of the ordinary and the extraordinary.
