After working in the night entertainment industry, as a street-stall keeper and as a truck driver, Yoshinaga strives to become a photographer who specializes in youth welfare. “Zoku” (by Little More Publishing), a photography collection of Boh-soh-zoku (youth bike-gang), becomes one of Yoshinaga’s representative work.

resist 6回目 今日は北井一夫さんの課題「我が街」に対する合評であった。 北井さんは、凄く丁寧に生徒達の写真を見てくれ、そこまで褒める部分を見つけなくてもいいのに~と思うほど、懇切丁寧に、まだ棒にも端にもひっかからないような、生徒達の写真を見てくれ講評をしてくれていた。 自分は「我が街」という、どうとでも捉えることの出来る課題で、生徒達がどう料理してくるのか?と期待をしてたものの、期待はずれの作品が多くて、この程度しか考えれないんやあと思って、少しがっかりした。 |
