Photographing everything from antiques to porn stars, Shinoyama is particularly recognized for his work with pop icons and celebrities, and the rare, private moments he captures with very public personalities. Through his lens, world-famous faces often reveal an unexpected openness and vulnerability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis capacity for ease and intimacy is perhaps most poignantly expressed in his beautiful series of photographs of Yoko Ono and John Lennon, shot at Ono’s request for the cover and promotion of the couple’s celebrated 1980 album, Double Fantasy, just three months before Lennon’s untimely death. Now, over 30 years later, these images—many of them never seen before—still resonate with a remarkable freshness and honesty, immortalizing the iconic couple at a pivotal moment in their personal and creative relationship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLimited to a total of 1,980 numbered copies signed by Yoko Ono and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.taschen.com\/en\/collection\/kishin-shinoyama\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;\"\u003eKishin Shinoyama\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, this book is available as Collector’s Edition (No. 251–1,980), and also in two Art Editions of 125 copies each (No. 1–250), with a pigment print signed by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.taschen.com\/en\/collection\/kishin-shinoyama\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;\"\u003eKishin Shinoyama\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003eThe photographer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.taschen.com\/en\/collection\/kishin-shinoyama\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;\"\u003eKishin Shinoyama\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e (1940–2024) began shooting award-winning advertising photography while still a student at Nihon University.
