"New York Without Women" is a photo collection by Japanese photographer Tadao Imagawa. Born in Ishikawa Prefecture in 1948, Imagawa graduated from the former Tokyo College of Photography and taught at a vocational school before going freelance. In the 1970s, his "amateur nude" photography, in which he scouted amateur women, brought them to hotels, and photographed them, became a hot topic. His work was featured in works such as Akiyuki Nosaka's "Man's Studio." He later abandoned nude photography and pursued a career as a photojournalist, pursuing his beloved photographer, Eugene Smith. After unsuccessfully attempting to cover the Vietnam and Iran-Iraq wars, he returned to New York, a city he had visited once before. He was stunned by the gay culture he encountered at the YMCA, where he stayed as a cheap lodging, and the surrounding clubs and bars, and began capturing their daily lives on camera. This book is an autobiography of Tadao Imagawa's life, featuring text by Imagawa himself and illustrations of gay culture he photographed in New York. The preface (and obi) include a hopeful tribute from Eugene Smith.
