Kenro Izu: Seduction

Descriere

The act of making photograph is challenged constantly by a seduction of "making a nice picture", instead of my purpose of capturing the "spirit" of the subject. The "spirit" may be replaced by the word "life". Weather the subject is Flora, Fruits or human Body, this is an interesting effort to hold myself at the very edge (before fallen into the dark hole of seduction), while admiring a beauty of the subject which existed before my eyes in the inevitable sensual world. The series of photographs were all taken by large format film camera, of 8 x 10 inch to 14 x 20 inch and contact printed in Platinum.
