Yamatani describes his photography as developing out of the shi-shashin (‘I-photography’) tradition of intimate, confessional art first pioneered by Araki, who coined the term almost half a century earlier. From documenting the underground scene in Osaka to his honeymoon voyage through the forests of Japan and lonely late night streets in suburban Tokyo, Yamatani has innovated visual languages to articulate each distinct phase of his life.
