Yasuhiro Ogawa is considered one of the new and strong voices in Japanese photography. His work is in an area that takes up the classic motifs and contemplative attitude of Japanese landscape photography and combines them with contemporary photographic means such as abstract compositions, unusual perspectives or blurs. His almost cinematic images transport the viewer to another reality, transforming our environment into dream landscapes. Through his unique perspective and emotional depth, Yasuhiro Ogawa captures the beauty and mystery of travel and creates images that are both timeless and impressive. The artist has received the Taiyo Award and the New Comer Award from the Photographic Society of Japan for his images, among others, and is one of the most important contemporary new photographers in Japan.
