Ricardo Yamamoto

Ricardo Yamamoto is a photographer living in Melbourne. Born in the South of Brazil, he migrated to Japan in 1991 as a factory worker and saw first-hand the commodification of labor driven by a shift in global consumer behaviour, and the consequent human cost as millions re-locate worldwide to flee deteriorating living conditions.
