HDR_NATURE Yoshinori Mizutani
Pickup currently unavailable
A collection of works by Yoshinori Mizutani, a photographer born in Fukui Prefecture. Mizutani, who has captured familiar nature and urban landscapes from a unique perspective in works such as "TOKYO PARROTS" and "YUSURIKA," includes the series "HDR_nature" created using HDR (High Dynamic Range) synthesis technology. In this work, Mizutani applies the HDR function, which synthesizes multiple images with different exposures, while intentionally shaking the camera during shooting to create images unimaginable from real landscapes.
Natural motifs such as trees, flowers, and water surfaces transform their colors and outlines, changing into abstract screens where particles of light seem to drift. However, these are not complete fictions; they originate from landscapes that certainly existed. Viewers are led to a new perceptual experience as they move between the boundaries of photography and painting, record and creation.
This is an ambitious work that is the fruit of Mizutani's inquisitive spirit, making one feel the possibilities of the medium of photography once again.
