Businessmen may all look run-of-the-mill, but each has his own brand of humour and individuality and is a hero for someone. After his father, who spent his life as a salaryman, died, Aoyama came to respect him deeply, and is moved to find the instants when fathers who sweat and struggle to keep their companies afloat transform into heroes flying through the sky. Sending these iconic suited figures leaping away from the mundane world, he lets them shine and show their individuality, superimposing them on the ideal of his late father. Now a photographer and a son, he continues to photograph businessmen and to imagine the day he too becomes a father.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
