TITLE: The Life Of Things

I focus on high contrast and lines between light and shadow, changing normal everyday sights into extraordinary scenes. I believe that aesthetic experiences can be found in familiar places and moments that are often ignored.

Something uninteresting for others can be very interesting for me. I capture them from my own perspective and real moments, without staging and setting up or using artificial lighting. I’ve never try to shoot certain things. It’s like something is unconsciously resonating within my inner self.This is a common thread in my work.

These forms, textures and lines create a composition, highlighting a diverse expression of everyday inanimate objects that resonate with us. Whatever the subject, I believe the everyday beauty is always possible to discover.
This is what inspires me to photograph.

My aim is to awake awareness in them. Life can look completely different depending on how you see the world. I believe photography leads me to many experiences and places and touches many people's hearts.

AUTHOR: Sumiyo(Sudi) Fukubayashi (Japan)

Born in Japan. Artist name is Sudi. I’m a photographic artist based in Tokyo Japan. Photography came to me about fifteen years ago in my attempts to express my written poetry in a visual form. Two months later, I won the photography prize. Following this initial success, my works featured in photography magazines all over Japan. My works are displayed in company offices and people's houses. I took part in Portfolio Review in Les Rencontres d’Arles in 2014 and 2016. Many solo exhibitions were held all over Japan and my work were presented at selected group shows and the art fair overseas. ( Please see blow)
