Biography
Yamamoto was born in in Gamagori City in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. He began his art studies as a painter,[1] studying oil painting under Goro Saito in his native city. He presently uses photography to capture images evoking memories.[2] He blurs the border between painting and photography, by experimenting with printing surfaces.
He dyes, tones (with tea), paints on, and tears his photographs.
