Naoki Honjo’s Small Planet

Naoki Honjo's Small Planet

I’ve already shared with you my love for Naoki Honjo’s photography, and I’m also in love with his new book that was just released through Little More, SMALL PLANET (English page with no link to order). It’s a nice little publication filled with that diorama-like photography I just can’t get enough of — and I’m not alone, what with all the magazines that have covered Honjo’s work in recent months. I’m really sorry I missed the exhibition for the book at Good Design Company (it ended yesterday).
