Hiroshi Nonami is a Japanese artist .
All the images are made by hand. No computers, no Photoshop. There are a variety of techniques and tricks that he uses. Such as letting mold grow on the film during the summer. (That's why some images have a moldy stain or pattern.) He also stacks the slides to combine images and obtain various effects. He admits that even he often can not predict how the image will turn out. Sometimes an error turns out to be a blessing in disguise.
He does manually whatever Photoshop can do. It's a painstaking process and no wonder if it tooks 5 years to publish a book!
