Chicago, 1950's

11 x 14" gelatin silver print

Yasuhiro Ishimoto was a student of Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind at the Institute of Design, Chicago. His importance to photography is two-fold. On the one hand, he brought a unique foreigner's perspective to a traditional American city, always focusing on classic American subjects. But perhaps more importantly, he brought back to Japan the essential philosophy and techniques of modern photography, affecting all photography in Japan since the Second World War.
