Yasumasa Yonehara: Japan’s new top erotic photographer
Today we wanted to introduce you to one of the premier image-makers of contemporary Tokyo erotica, photographer Yasumasa Yonehara.
Yonehara is very much in the Araki mold of photography — grainy, shaky, snapped-from-the-hip kind of shots… and filled with girls, boobs, legs. He seems to recruit his ladies in the clubs, take them back to hotels for shoots — and then who knows what else?!
If you can’t make it to Tokyo for any of his gallery shows, he seems to occasionally have exhibitions in New York too. And his regular blog for Hypebeast is always guaranteed to have titillation if you want to kill time at work pretending to look at “art”.
So what do you think? Is Yonehara’s work pure erotica or just glorified porn?
