Hiroshi Sugimoto is a Japanese photographer who takes and captures images or "impossible" phenomena and realistic photographs. He challenged the "objective" form of photography and art today. He is one of the best known photo artists of his time and our time. He is widely known for his strict black-and-white photo series. He poses the challenging questions of time, art, science, imagination, and reality.
One of his photos that really caught my eye was this one below. In this photograph I can really understand why he is so known for the "impossible" because this photo seems impossible to capture. He clearly knows how to work well with timing, art, and reality. This photo really caught my attention because of how close he seems to the wolves, it makes me feel like we are right there with him. What also caught my eye was the fact that this photo is so clear, especially in conditions like the weather in which wolves live. The contrasts and lighting between the lighter or white wolves compared to the darker colored wolves is amazing. I really enjoy this photograph.
Another photo that caught my attention was this one here below as well. This photo also seems impossible to capture. I cannot imagine the time spent trying to get this photo. The photo to me obviously looks like lightening during a storm, but the fact that it is just the lightening and we see nothing else. Normally, if one was to take this, an average person, we would see the clouds and it would be blurry trying to capture so much light, yet to still show so much light and clarity in this photo. It almost looks like a drawing someone could do. This also relates to how Sugimoto creates photos that are such ones of art and time and reality. It is amazing what he can capture and I really take an interest into his artwork.
