About Bamboo Forest Kunstifotograafia

Takeo Hirose sündis 1962. aastal Kyotos. Ta alustas fotograafia õppimist tõsiselt 2011. aastal, kui Jaapan kannatas tohutu maavärina katastroofi käes. Maavärina kaudu mõistis ta, et ilusad stsenaariumid pole igavesed, vaid tegelikult väga habras, ning märkas Jaapani ilu fotode tegemise tähtsust. Tema lavakunstikontseptsioon on väljendada Jaapani traditsiooniliste maalide ja tindimaalide maailma tänapäevase Jaapani tundlikkuse ja fototehnoloogia abil. Viimased aastad on ta teoseid tootnud bambusemotiiviga, mida saab seostada Jaapaniga.

Press Kit

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.
Dimensions & Packaging: Print size / A3 (297mm X 420mm)
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.
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.
