Takashi Homma’s Introspective Portrait of Female Adolescence in Japan

 In his new photo essay 17, Japanese photographer Takashi Homma takes the young artist Raiki Yamamoto as his muse for a study of the cusp of adulthood. Published by cult New York-based publisher and bookshop Dashwood Books, 17 continues Homma’s interests in Tokyo, its suburbs and its youth, treating the subject with a typical softness and sensitivity, using the contours of the region’s landscapes to map the ambiguities of teenage development into adulthood.  By Donna Marcus
