Kayamori was born in Wrangell, Alaska, in 1873. He was a Tlingit Indian who learned photography from his father, who was also a photographer. Kayamori's photographs provide a unique window into the lives of the Tlingit people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They document traditional Tlingit ceremonies, dances, and everyday life.

Kayamori's photographs are also important historical documents. They provide a visual record of the changes that were taking place in Southeast Alaska during this time period. Kayamori's photographs show the arrival of European settlers, the decline of the fur trade, and the growth of the fishing industry.

The Legacy of Southeast Alaska Photographer Shoki Kayamori is a beautiful and informative book that celebrates the life and work of one of Alaska's most important photographers. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of photography, Alaska, or the Tlingit people.
