Most of the photographs are snapshots of Araki’s work and daily life, which can be seen as a notebook of his encounters. This book is a collection of photos by Nobuyoshi Araki, but he says, “Of course, the photos you are photographed in are not taken by you. They are an expression of a certain self. So the photographer is only copying the subject’s expression. By exposing myself, I am also exposing others. The origin of photography.”
