Very interesting. the photographs even have a vaguely early japanese photography qualuty to them, in that they look somewhat pencil drawn. japanese version of pictorialism, i guess. great stuff though, jealous i'm not shooting like this!

They're incredible, I love the quality of his images. I'd love to have seen the exhibition.

If you're in Tokyo, you should take the time to check out his new exhibition in a great shop / gallery in Ebisu. Here are the details:

He took the time to speak about himself, his work, and photography in general. A great guy too!

I particularly like the way he's altered the backgrounds to make them his own.

These a good images in themselves but the added context of the illustrations makes the set.

I also love the smoothness of the tones particularly in the last two.

It looks like I wuz away on my Easter hols when S-to-the-K-to-the-J posted this one first time round and I missed it completely. Wow! I'm very impressed with the concept and its execution. Fantastic.

rpmdrd · « **Reply #16 on:** September 06, 2011, 03:40:01 AM »

fantastic! great work on adapting the paintings in to his own work.

jojonas~ · « **Reply #17 on:** September 06, 2011, 12:09:35 PM »

interesting! I like his style, indeed with an old feel to it.

I'm thinking it'd be interesting to see another step of interpretation on this

Mojave · « **Reply #18 on:** September 06, 2011, 02:31:58 PM »

I missed this too and I am really loving the photographs a lot! The girl with the book and the last shot are my favorites! LOL! I guess that would be photos 3 and 4 again here.
