In Photo Reports by Kosuke Fujitaka 2008-10-31 print

Yasumasa Yonehara started his career as a freelance editor. Working for magazines, he began to take photos of models during breaks from the “real” shoots, using a Cheki camera to achieve a smaller-sized instant photo format. In Japan, his work is often compared to Terry Richardson’s; but Yonehara’s photos are cute while Terry’s are wild, perhaps reflecting the Japanese streets. This is Yonehara’s first solo exhibition in NY.

The space is divided by a big red curtain. What is behind the curtain?

How about peeping a bit behind the curtain?

A photo collage-like piece.

Lots of Yonehara's young friends at the opening.
