About Dignity Fotografie

Hien huet eng "Dignity" duerch Fotografie designt. Dës Objete si Pinien- a Prommebeemer, déi iwwerall a Japan ze gesinn sinn an iwwer 100 Joer al sinn. Dës goufen zënter aler Zäit a "Sumi-e" an Tintemoloerei, Faltschirmmoloerei ausgedréckt. Nodeem hien d'Fotoe gemaach huet, huet hien d'Beliichtung ugepasst a se am wäisse Quadrat konfiguréiert. Aus senge Wierker ka de Betrachter den Hannergrond imaginéieren an d'Existenz als "Dignity" spieren. Dofir ka gesot ginn, datt säi Designversuch ass, d'Grenze tëschent Moloerei a Fotografie ze eliminéieren.

Unique Properties: This project is to design a "Dignity" by photography. The subjects are trees that are trying to live and survive everywhere unnoticed by anyone in the city now. They have not said anything and made their appearance for a long time. So this project tried to design by photography for expressing these natural appearance in the white square framework as the most beautiful composition.
Dimensions & Packaging: These photographs were taken with fine mode and size are 6016×4016 by Nikon Z5. And all are digitized and JPG files. These original sizes are from 6 to 12 Mega-bytes. For this project, these were changed to the square framework and black and white. These were changed by using Adobe photoshop.
Tags: Photography, Nature Photo, Black and white, Pine tree, Japanese Nature
Production Technology: These photographs were taken by Nikon's digital camera. These were considered the most beautiful position and form inside the square framework. And in the home studio, these photos have changed the exposure by using photoshop to be shaped more lively and most beautiful appearance.
Design Challenge: The most difficult is to find objects in the city and to compose the best position to get the empty white background. To delete eliminate waste and discomfort, its appearance stands out more. This makes it possible to express of photography the abstract concepts of "Yugen" and "looseness" in traditional Japanese art culture. This is challenging for new design's possibilities to fuse with Art and photography, the Western and Eastern concept.
Research: This project has the background of ink paintings and "Sumi-e," folding screen painting. That objects are natural things that show the beauty in the four seasons, such as pine, bamboo, plum, flowers in the mountains and river. This project tried to express these forms by black and white photography as the most beautiful appearance in the square.
Inspiration: This project's idea came up suddenly at one time in the city. It is the moment when appears the beautiful appearance in the trees and plants. These were the existence casually that seen everywhere but have not been noticed. It is meaningful for design to clarify the beautiful appearance of life that has been created over a long period. In addition that this project concept is from ink paintings and "Sumi-e," folding screen painting in Japanese and Chinese art and culture.
Project Duration: This project started in May 2020 in Numazu, Japan, and finished in February 2021.
Operation Flow: This project by photography was being able to create a beautiful appearance from the trees that usually and casually were seen. In these photos to create a more beautiful appearance, it selected the black and white photography and square framework.
