This website is a portal site for Eiji YAMAMOTO, japanese photographer and PhotoAritst.
From Japan, based in Germany. He loves human photography (Street and Portrait). Digital and filmphotography. Fifties.
Eiji YAMAMOTO, photographer and PhotoAritst, from Japan, lives in Saarbruecken, Germany.
Eiji Yamamoto started photography when he was in elementary school. Basically self-taught. The young Eiji Yamamoto is very interested in Germany. That’s why he studied German history and art (history) at the University of Japan and at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (not graduation).
At the same time he started a job as a photographer, so tourist photographer and city guide. He made the city tour (guide and photo) for the Japanese guests, not only one by one, but also e.g. for the delegation of the Cabinet Committee of the Japanese House of Commons, the International Music Master Classes and the Newspaper Publishers of Japan, etc.
In 2002 his main motif changed from a tourist photo to a portrait and street. Since 2007 Eiji Yamamoto lives in Saarbruecken, Germany. He makes both street photo for magazine, learning book and event as well as portrait, artist photo, application photo for e.g. CD, poster, magazine, theater program, flyers, etc. He also photographs wedding and family photo.
I have loved history since I was a child, and I was especially interested in things where I could feel that people had been there. For example, old castles (castle ruins), shrines and temples, medieval forts, ancient tombs, etc. I visited various historical sites in the local studies club and took pictures of them. I don’t remember what camera I used.
In the 1980s, I traveled abroad for the first time. Japan is an island country surrounded by the sea, so traveling abroad is very special. At that time, I used a half camera. I don’t remember which camera. probably Olympus. I remember using a Kyocera camera in the late 80’s.
In the 1990s I started using compact digital cameras along with multiple film cameras.
I like watching movies and reading. And my favorite is watching opera. At my peak, I saw 28 opera performances in a month at the theater. I also like classical concerts. I also love to bake cakes and do so many times a week. I like cake that goes well with coffee.
