Kishin Shinoyama (篠山 紀信, Shinoyama Kishin, December 3, 1940 – January 4, 2024) was a Japanese photographer. He is well-known for having photographed the covers for John Lennon and Yoko Ono's albums, Double Fantasy and Milk and Honey. Before his marriage to Saori Minami in 1979, he took a majority of the photographs for her album covers with CBS/Sony.




Life and work



Shinoyama graduated from Nihon University. He worked with the Light Publicity agency while still a student, and freelanced after graduation.
Shinoyama put out a large number of books of photographs of girls, dressed, mostly undressed, and nude.
On November 10, 2009, Shinoyama's home and office were searched by police on suspicion of public indecency. The searches stemmed from concerns regarding nude photos he allegedly took in public of two women in August 2008 for his book 20XX TOKYO. On May 26, 2010 the court found Shinoyama guilty of public indecency and defiling a place of worship for photographing at Aoyama Cemetery. He was fined 300,000 Yen.
Shinoyama was married to Saori Minami and their son is actor Akinobu Shinoyama. Kishin Shinoyama died on January 4, 2024, at the age of 83.
