Very creative photographer. I had seen one of his portraits of the writer Yukio Mishima a few years ago, but I didn't really know Mr.Hosoe's work. The analysis of the human body and our own nature. He is described as "experimental" and "controversial", which probably means that the sight of our nature, instincts, origins and death through art is shocking to our eyes.
