Dear Followers,
We were excited to reveal the cover art for our upcoming book, Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku. The art is the work of award-winning artist Hikari and is a masterpiece. You can find it here.
Today, we are thrilled to reveal a second artistic photograph that will be included in Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku. The photo belongs to fine-art photographer and Japanese award-winning artist Naoki Kimura. It’s a stunning photo that encapsulates the meaning of Zen; an iconic work that reflects the spirit of Japan in all its splendor.
“While photography inherently gives the impression of being “real” or “existing in reality,” the essence of monochrome photography lies in creating scenes that do not actually exist. Through this abstraction, the universal characteristics and emotions of the subject are emphasized, bringing out a deeper sense of reality. If color photography can evoke individual emotions and meanings as realism, monochrome photography can be said to enable a universal empathy not influenced by color.
In summary, monochrome photography opens up new visual and emotional dimensions by stripping away color from reality and achieving a unique balance between reality and unreality. It is one of the methods that appeals to human perception and emotions, a means to explore the world “beyond of the surface” of the photograph.”
