PhotoWho'sWho

Compiled and written by Philbert Ono.

Index to biographies of prominent people in Japanese photography. Although most are Japanese photographers, it also includes non-photographers and non-Japanese who have made significant contributions to Japanese photography. Early photographers (late 19th c.) and deceased photographers are included. PhotoWho'sWho has moved from the old page at photojpn.org.

All Japanese personal names follow the Japanese convention of the family name (all caps) coming before the given name. Some biographies have both English and Japanese biographies. Japanese kanji characters are provided for Japanese names.

For an explanation of the photography awards cited, see PhotoAwards.
