Tokyo police will likely soon send papers to prosecutors on renowned photographer Kishin Shinoyama and two female models over the shooting of nude pictures in public areas for a book, sources said.

Shinoyama allegedly took photos of the two models late at night in places in central Tokyo, including the Akasaka and Aoyama districts, between July and September 2008.

Shinoyama, 69, and the two women are suspected of indecent exposure. In November 2008, investigators searched three locations, including Shinoyama's office and home in Tokyo, after several people who witnessed the photo shoots alerted the police. "I thought I'd been careful to ensure no-one would see the photo shoots, but I guess I didn't take enough precautions," Shinoyama was quoted by the police as saying. "I'm very sorry for causing a commotion."

The photos were taken for a 60-page book, titled "No Nude by Kishin 1 20XX Tokyo," published in January 2009. The models were photographed at cemeteries, wedding halls and on JR railway tracks, among other locations. Shinoyama has had brushes with the law over this craft before, most notably in June 1991 when the Metropolitan Police Department warned the publishers of a book of "highly indecent" nude photos he took of an actress.
