And if there’s anyone who understands the importance of light it’s Kenji Ishikawa.
The 74-year old Japanese photographer has been travelling the world for the last 35 years taking photographs with one of the most minimal forms of light: moonlight.
“Jomon cedar” taken on Yakushima islandAs you probably know, moonlight is mostly sunlight that’s reflected off the lunar surface.
Rather than the blue-lit sky of day, Ishikawa’s images show a dark blue seems to connect the stars and skies with the trees and bodies of water of our planet.
Ishikawa calls this gekkouyoku (月光浴) meaning literally “bathing in moonlight.”Kenji Ishikawa’s images are currently on display at IMS Hall in Fukuoka, on the 9th floor of the IMS department store.
