Kazuyoshi Usui is a Tokyo-based photographer born in 1975, and once studied under Eikoh Hosoe at Tokyo Polytechnic University. He makes his living as a commercial photographer. In his personal work he’s interested in exploring the borders between lies and truth, particularly in a cinematic way. In 2006 he published “Macaroni Christian”, and is currently at work on a series entitled “Bullet Boy”, of which the above photograph is part of.
