The photographer
Kishin Shinoyama (1940–2024) began shooting award-winning advertising photography while still a student at Nihon University. He started working as a freelance photographer in 1968 and gained fame for his portraits, including those of Yukio Mishima, Momoe Yamaguchi, Rie Miyazawa, and John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and for his artistic nudes of women. His 1980 photoshoot with Lennon and Ono – which resulted in the cover image of their album Double Fantasy – was one of the last photos of Lennon ever taken.
