About Bamboo Forest Fotografia De Artă

Takeo Hirose s-a născut la Kyoto, în 1962. A început să studieze în mod serios fotografia în 2011, când Japonia suferea de imensul dezastru cutremur. Prin cutremur a înțeles că scenariile frumoase nu sunt veșnice, ci de fapt foarte fragile și a observat importanța fotografierii frumuseții japoneze. Conceptul său de producție este de a exprima lumea tablourilor tradiționale japoneze și a picturilor de cerneală cu sensibilitate japoneză modernă și tehnologie foto. În ultimii ani, el a produs lucrările cu un motiv de bambus, care poate fi asociat cu Japonia.

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.
