A Photo Book for Its Subjects

Kosuke Okahara wanted viewers of his photo project about self-injury to connect with its subjects. So he sent copies of the book around the world, collecting greetings.

Mr. Okahara, who received the W. Eugene Smith Fellowship for his work on the project, originally considered self-publishing the book. Then he had an idea. He wanted people to see the photos and weigh in; to let his subjects know that people all over the world see, and care about, their stories.
