Japanese photographer Akira Kobayashi's photo book "WANT". Born in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture in 1927, while attending the prestigious Nihon University College of Art Department of Photography, he studied under Kira Sugiyama, who was famous for his pioneering nude photography. After graduating, he worked in the photography department of a film publishing company, and then became a freelancer at the age of 30. The book ``WANT'' is the first collection of works published after turning 40. It's been more than 20 years since I picked up a camera, and I've been photographing only women for a long time, and there are countless photos that I didn't want to take. This is a long-awaited book that was released based on his desire to create a work that he himself produced, rather than a passive work. This is a work with which he is proud that he did everything himself, from model selection to composition and lighting. The theme is "Infinite Love". A black man is paired with a white woman to emphasize the monochrome tone. By organically using blur and multiple exposure, the result is an elegant and creative nude work.
