Fine Art Photography for Takeo Hirose

Takeo Hirose was born in Kyoto, 1962. He started studying photography in earnest in 2011 when Japan suffered from the huge earthquake disaster. Through the earthquake he understood that the beautiful sceneries are not eternal but actually very fragile, and noticed the importance of taking photos of the Japanese beauty. His production concept is to express the world of traditional Japanese paintings and ink paintings with modern Japanese sensibility and the photo technology. For the past few years he has produced the works with a motif of bamboo, which can be associated with Japan.

Unique Properties

For the past few years the designer has produced the works in the motif of bamboo, which can be associated with Japan. In the project, he is trying to seize the reason why bamboo images strongly associates with Japan.

Tags

bamboo, B&W, japan, oriental, monochrome, kyoto, asia, zen, cool, relax, suibokuga

Production Technology

The designer thinks the distinctive characteristics of bamboo are even more attractive in monochrome images using the modern techniques of photography. At first he takes color photos, and develops them to monochrome images with photoshop and other sophisticated tools. For development he uses Dell 8K monitor to express delicate touch and light & shade.

Design Challenge

Bamboo itself is very common in Japan, however it is not easy to extract the Japanese beauty from the common motif and create different types of works. The designer has been trying to get close image to old Japanese paintings and Suibokuga (Japanese ink painting) by creative methods.

Project Duration

The project started in November 2016 in Kyoto and finished in December 2018 in Kamakura.

Operation Flow

The designer has visited many places of beautiful bamboo forests in Japan. He has also visited several night festivals at which bamboo forests are illuminated. Actually, there are so many bamboos in Japan, however most are too dense or not trimmed by human, and such bamboo forests are not suitable for his works.

Research

The shots from bottom to top is suitable for expression of dignitiy of baoboo forests, while the designer found that the position of each bamboo is very important for the beauty of works. He found the cyanotype tone suits the atmosphere of the bamboo forests most, and they look like contemporary Suibokuga.

Inspiration

Modern photo artists like Hiroshi Sugimoto and Andreas Gursky inspire the designer so much. However old Japanese artists like Hokusai, Hasegawa Tohaku, Zyakuchu, Ogata Korin etc. also inspire him a lot.
