Masayuki Yoshinaga Born in Osaka’s Jusoh district in 1964. 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. He has also photographed youth street-gangs, street gals, and foreigners living in Japan, individuals who are often labeled as “minorities” within Japan. In the recent years, Yoshinaga has participated in the "Shinjuku ID" project which exhibited portraits of everyday Shinjuku people on the temporary wall of a construction site located at the south entrance of the Shinjuku train station. He also serves as the headmaster of a photography workshop school called "Resist," presided by Roony/247 Photography.

resistサイトで対談 ８月１２日はかねてからresistサイト班から要望のあった、奈良美智さんのインタビュー及び自分との対談であった。 １５時３０分にセルリアン東急で待ち合わせをして、奈良さん共々サイト班に写真を撮られ、階上のインタビューが出来そうなバーへ行って、奈良さんのインタビューが始まった。 １時間ほどして自分との対談となったのだが、待っている１時間ぐらいの間、高層から眺める三軒茶屋の景色など眺めながら、ボーっと過ごしていた。 対談を終えてから、マークシティ方面の居酒屋に飯を食いに行った。 奈良さんとサイト班共々、喜びながら、つぼ鯛の一夜干しなどを肴に酒を飲みながら、ソーキそばを食った。 奈良さんは忙しさで疲れていそうな身体ながらも、楽しそうにサイト班らと話していて、良かったなあと思った。 |
