We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Yuki Yamada a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I am a street photographer based in New York shooting mainly in black and white. I started doing photography during the pandemic when I started videoing myself playing the bass with a camera. The day I took my camera out on the streets to take photography without even knowing the term “street photography,” it completely clicked and here I am.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

You can keep on learning no matter what stage or age you are at.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

Ralph Gibson interviews and books have always impacted my thoughts on photographs. It’s better for you to actually go take a look by yourself rather than me explaining about it. In terms of influence, Devin Allen, Alan Schaller, Bill Brandt, Henri-Cartier Bresson and Ray Metzker has been my impact.
