Pairing up two of the more influential professionals in their fields, famed photographer Yonehara Yasumasa aka Yone and artist Reach, look to set open the latest leg of their Partouze Exhibition with a show in Hong Kong.

Yasumasa Yonehara was originally an editor and curator. Out of Photographers was a book he curated of amateur found images sent in by the public. His aim was to break the stigma around non-professional photography, proving that amateurs could rival professionals. In the wake of its success, he started a magazine Smart Girls. The erotic magazine was affiliated to Japanese fashion magazine Smart. While editing and creating the magazine, Yonehara started taking shots of models on shoots and his own photographs developed their own following. The medium of photography is only secondary to him- Yonehara is more interested in documenting his relationship with the girls he photographs. And a very personal relationship it is.
