Michael Yamashita graduated with a degree in Asian studies and went on to spend seven years in Asia. While he had no formal instruction in photography, Yamashita managed to turn what began as a hobby into a career that combined his two passions—photography and travel. A regular contributor to National Geographic Magazine since 1979, his particular specialty has been following the “paths” of both man and landscape, resulting in stories on Marco Polo, the Japanese poet Basho, the Mekong River, the Great Wall and most recently the Tea Horse Road of China. The Ghost Fleet, a feature film narrated by Yamashita and based on his article on the world’s largest wooden armada and its admiral Zheng He, won the Best Historical Documentary prize at the New York International Film Festival. Yamashita has received several industry awards, exhibits of his work have opened throughout Asia, the US and Europe and he has published nine photographic books.
