Miyako Ishiuchi (石内 都 Ishiuchi Miyako, born March 27, 1947 in Nitta District, Gunma and raised in Yokosuka, Kanagawa), is a Japanese photographer.[1]
Ishiuchi has produced collections of photography since the late 1970s. Her first book was a study of Yokosuka, where she grew up.[2] Her work favors the oversize grainy prints and gritty subject matter that characterize the pictures of many photographers in the late 1960s and 1970s who preferred the are-bure, or grainy-blurry.[3] She began to take close-ups of the bodies of the very old in the early 1990s.[3]
In March 2014, she received the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography.[4]
A selection of her works is currently on exhibition at the Getty Center, Los Angeles, CA, under the title Ishiuchi Miyako: Postwar Shadows, from October 6, 2015 to February 21, 2016.[5]
