"The Town You Live In: Reprint Edition" Photo Collection by Yoshiyuki Okuyama

About the productJapanese

Since his debut in 2010, photographer and film director Yoshiyuki Okuyama has been actively presenting his work in numerous photo books and exhibitions, while also releasing a succession of impressive client work. The photo book "The City You Live In," a compilation of the serialization that Okuyama ran in the magazine "EYESCREAM" for about three years, attracted a great deal of attention not only for its star-studded cast, but also for its innovative approach of taking photos using only Polaroid cameras to bring out new sides to the subjects. Seven years have passed since its publication, and the book was out of print, but now a new publisher has decided to re-release it in the form of a reprint.

He faced his subjects, carefully communicated with them, and built a relationship with them. Each photograph, taken like a session, captures their lively expressions that cannot be seen anywhere else. This work can be called a gem of a collaboration born from the combination of the subjects' charm and Okuyama's artistry, and it is an important series for Okuyama, as it served as a catalyst for deepening his own expression.

Another main feature of this book is the landscapes of Tokyo. Okuyama's photos of the city are valuable as records of Tokyo before the Olympics, and his unique perspective and graphical composition have made them into one-of-a-kind images printed onto Polaroid film.

In producing the reprint, we aimed to create a finished product that feels updated in some areas, such as by keeping the page structure of the original but revising the printing process from scratch and changing the base color of the cover. Now, this is a book that allows you to encounter the city of Tokyo and the "old days" of 35 actresses once again.
