Selfies are today an inescapable part of our visual landscape and our self-expression, and the ultimate dream of many selfie-takers is to snap oneself with a celebrity. Takumi Hasegawa fulfills this dream in this book, which presents him posing with his personal legends of the international rich and famous. From the worlds of fashion (Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, Riccardo Tisci) and architecture (Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry), to the arts (Jeff Koons, Yayoi Kusama, Thom Yorke) and luxury moguls Bernard Arnault and Pierre Bergé, Hasegawa's subjects speak for themselves. Yet the resonance of his project is more complex: in When Takumi Met the Legends of the World, designed as an intimate scrapbook or album of memories, Hasegawa's joy in each shot is palpable, but so is a sense of the seductive, false promise of fame.

Born in 1985 in Fukaya, Takumi Hasegawa has held exhibitions of his photography throughout Asia. In 2016 Hasegawa founded the Architecture Model Workshop in Tokyo which combines an atelier, workshop and gallery, for the handmade production, restoration and display of architectural models.
