About Bamboo Forest Kunstfotografie
Takeo Hirose wurde 1962 in Kyoto geboren. Er begann 2011 ernsthaft Fotografie zu studieren, als Japan unter der großen Erdbebenkatastrophe litt. Durch das Erdbeben verstand er, dass die schönen Szenarien nicht ewig, sondern tatsächlich sehr fragil sind, und bemerkte, wie wichtig es ist, Fotos von der japanischen Schönheit zu machen. Sein Produktionskonzept ist es, die Welt der traditionellen japanischen Gemälde und Tuschemalereien mit moderner japanischer Sensibilität und der Fototechnik auszudrücken. In den letzten Jahren hat er die Werke mit einem Bambusmotiv produziert, das mit Japan in Verbindung gebracht werden kann.

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
