This is a photobook by Hiro Wakabayashi, a photographer who was active in the United States. His real name is Yasuhiro Wakabayashi. Commonly known as HIRO, he was a fashion photographer who was active in post-war America. Born in Shanghai to Japanese parents, he emigrated to the United States after World War II, studied under the legendary art director Alexei Brodovich, worked as an assistant to Richard Avedon, and was a photographer who worked for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue. His exceptional camerawork that captures a single moment, his unique sense of color, and his intelligent and elegant photographs have captivated photographers currently active such as Mario Testino, and he was an object of admiration for them. This book includes HIRO's major works, such as the "Goldfish Series" and "Celebrity Portraits" represented by "The Rolling Stones." Richard Avedon planned and edited the book, and his son Gregory Wakabayashi, who also designed Avedon's photobook "Made in France," handled the book design.
