"New York" is a photo book of Tadao Matsuo, who studied under Eikoh Hosoe, one of Japan's leading photographers after the war. When he was young, he started photography since he was impressed with Hosoe's "Rose Penalty". He entered Tokyo Polytechnic University, where Hosoe was in charge at that time, and after graduating he became an assistant to Hosoe. With the creativity that inherits that lineage, he has also produced experimental photographs such as photograms since the 1970s, and while doing commercials and editorial work, Matsuo has continued various creative activities from nude, portrait to snap. Tadao. This book is a collection of color reflections taken during a few years in the United States from the late 1970s. Through reflections on mirrors and shop windows, a unique fiction story that is similar to the avant-garde experimental work of the past is depicted in color. From the gorgeousness of the city of New York to the dark side, and the multifacetedness of people who are said to be melting pots of race, it is another photograph that leads from the real world to the unreal world. You can also get a glimpse of the fun of the two. This is a group of works that was also announced in the December 1981 issue of Camera Mainichi.
