About Bamboo Forest アート写真
広瀬武夫は1962年京都生まれ。2011年に日本で大地震が発生したことから本格的に写真の勉強を始めた。地震を通して彼は美しいシナリオは永遠ではなく実際には非常に壊れやすいことを理解し、日本の美しさの写真を撮ることの重要性に気づきました。彼の制作コンセプトは、日本の伝統的な絵画や水墨画の世界を現代の日本の感性と写真技術で表現することです。ここ数年、日本を連想させる竹をモチーフに作品を制作。

- 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. - Image Credits
