Japanese Photographer: Iku Kageyama
by Julio Ruiz
" Light as seen through the heart"-
The Photography of Iku Kagayama
Japanese photographer and artist Iku Kagayama is a real find ; a well trained photographer who is also a talent. Iku Kagayama body of work includes images of Raining days , Sundays at the Beach and Still lives. Kagayama's technical ability is superb and every image is a lesson in lighting. Kagayama's control of her camera ( shutter and aperture ) allows for a lighting sensibility that is usually associated with film not digital photography.
Kagayama is old school and chooses heart warming subject matter for her work "Rain, Rain, Rain" ( published in 2009 ) is a series of images that capture the depth and beauty of cloudy days and rain showers ; they are simply captiviting.
Sunday Beaches, it's an other series; Which shows whimsical images of a beach front on a Sunday . The images of an empty boardwalk, beach front , and people enjoying themselves in solitude bring to life the familiar feeling of loneliness associated with Sunday mornings and afternoons ( an experience which most if not all of us have had ) . An other stand out in Kageyama's body of work are her still lives ; which breath fresh air in what other wise would be a familiar subject.
As Kageyama's artist statement puts it "See things by eyes inside of your heart".
