Yuichi Hibi
Yuichi Hibi (born 1964, Nagoya City, Japan) is a Japanese fine art photographer currently living and working out of New York City.

In 1988, Hibi moved to New York City, knowing very little English, to further his acting career.

These New York and Japan photos were publ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
