About Bamboo Forest Kunstfotografering
Takeo Hirose blev født i Kyoto, 1962. Han begyndte at studere fotografering for alvor i 2011, da Japan led af den enorme jordskælvskatastrofe. Gennem jordskælvet forstod han, at de smukke scenarier ikke er evige, men faktisk meget skrøbelige, og bemærkede vigtigheden af at tage fotos af den japanske skønhed. Hans produktionskoncept er at udtrykke en verden af traditionelle japanske malerier og blækmalerier med moderne japansk følsomhed og fototeknologi. I de sidste par år har han produceret værkerne med et motiv af bambus, der kan forbindes med Japan.

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. - 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.
- 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. - Image Credits
