About Bamboo Forest Fotografija Tal-Arti

Takeo Hirose twieled fi Kyoto, 1962. Beda jistudja l-fotografija bla heda fl-2011 meta l-Ġappun sofra mid-diżastru tat-terremot enormi. Permezz tat-terremot huwa fehem li x-xenarji sbieħ mhumiex eterni imma fil-fatt fraġli ħafna, u nnota l-importanza li tieħu ritratti tas-sbuħija Ġappuniża. Il-kunċett ta 'produzzjoni tiegħu huwa li jesprimi d-dinja ta' pitturi tradizzjonali Ġappuniżi u pitturi bil-linka b'sensibilità Ġappuniża moderna u t-teknoloġija tar-ritratti. Għall-aħħar ftit snin huwa pproduċa x-xogħlijiet bil-motif tal-bambu, li jista 'jkun assoċjat mal-Ġappun.

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.
