About Dramatic Photography

Dramatic photography has been taken by the minimum light that is everywhere every day. Next, it was changed the color to black and white by using the software with the computer. And it was changed the exposure to stir people's image. Lastly, it was trimmed from the rectangle to the square to eliminate waste and to constitute the balance of the light and people.

Design Interview about Dramatic Photography

My theme is to express and image to those who saw the story with the black created by the minimal light.

New black expression and storytelling by photography.

When more works come out, I would like to design a solo exhibition or a photo book.
Hopefully I'll be happy with the request.

It is about an hour to take one picture, it changed the exposure.

This design is not commissioned. It is my inquiries and challenges.

I'm at a loss. I have not to know how to distribute and to print at excellent quality my works.

I wanted to pursue a new way of expression.

As a great artist, It is Rembrandt and Vermeer, Leonardo da Vinci.

Old patrons, nobles

There are objects to be photographed everywhere. And It took and changed by tools that anyone can use.

It is like about the theme and suggestion. For me, in the casual scenes of everyday life, if we can change the point of view, it will be made more dramatic. But I don't know what else to express.
Now I feel exaggerated about this title.

Windows photo and Adobe photoshop.

It was taken near family trips and home and design work has be done at home.

Only my daughters and my wife. They are not specialists. I just took them in the photo.

It is one tool to find a good point.

In my photograph, an accidental person is always taken. People didn't show up and I have to wait for them for a long time.

One day suddenly I received an invitation email for the design award.
Only that I posted my works on SNS community many years ago, So I was so happy to hear from her.

I had the opportunity to objectively review my design and works.
By changing the view of point and designing by the composition of light, I can revive that time and story in my work.
That is one great step for me and is one evolution.

Thank you for watching my work, that alone makes me so happy.
