Born in Tokyo in 1940, Nobuyoshi Araki first worked as a photographer for an advertising agency, before becoming internationally renowned for his "photo journals." Araki's work has been structured around an exhibitionist and voyeuristic instinct that disrupted taboos at a time when feminism and sexuality were undergoing radical changes in Japanese society.
