Hiroshi Sugimoto is a photographer born is Tokyo, Japan. Soon after he graduated, he moved to New York. He started his first works of photography in high school and started studying more into it at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. He usually uses large-format camera for his works.
His work Seascapes is one of my favorite works. Although rather plain works of just the horizon of the water and sky, it gives a usual feeling of completeness. The feeling he was going for with this work was how water and air are both essential for human beings yet so overlooked and not found as beautiful as many other things. He made these photos possible with a old large-format camera to make different exposures. Even though they are all usually the same kind of photos, they all are from different places in the world representing the same thing of essential, beautiful things needed for humans.
