Koji Onaka, Have a break

by Xavier Encinas

Since joining the "image shop CAMP" in 1982, he has traveled all over Japan and has continued to work mainly at independent galleries.


Since 1999, he has switched from black-and-white to color negative photography, and even now produces his own prints in the darkroom. In recent years, there has been an increase in filming and presentations of works overseas. Many of his photo collections include "Slow Boat", "Tokyo Candy Box", "MATATABI", "Faraway Boat", and "Have a Break".
