“I want to take photographs like haikus. The most famous haiku, passed down through the centuries, remains open to countless interpretations. With only a few words, they conjure scenes and stir emotions.” ― Masao Yamamoto
With birds and landscapes as his subjects, Japanese photographer Masao Yamamoto creates a captivating and distinctive visual series. Deeply influenced by his background as a painter and his interest in traditional Japanese compositional techniques—most notably the deliberate use of negative space—Yamamoto’s monochromatic images transcend convention, inviting viewers to reflect on their place within the natural world.
“In an age saturated with information and impatient for instant answers, Yamamoto’s works—refusing to narrow themselves to a single meaning and entrusting interpretation to the viewer—may offer a way for us to recover our own senses.” ― from Huko’s afterword in “Echoes of Constructed Space.”
