"If still images had embedded sound tracks, while observing this image we might hear hooper swans, plaintively calling out for their breakfast, embracing the chilly early morning stillness of Kussharo Lake, and preparing for the day ahead. The dawn mist has just cleared, distant mountains have become visible, snow still clings to the tree branches, and I am doing what I love to do, walking, observing, exploring, photographing, and welcoming another delicious Hokkaido experience."
~ Michael Kenna
ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK
Michael's description transports me to that serene morning at Kussharo Lake, where the peaceful ambiance is almost palpable. A vivid picture of nature's quiet beauty. His words are a reminder that photography is a meditative and immersive experience. It's inspiring to see how Michael's passion for observing and exploring transforms these moments into timeless images.
If you connect with Michael's work, I highly suggest visiting the gallery to see Michael's beautiful new exhibition. Presented by Nikkei, the Financial Times and Peter Fetterman Gallery, ‘Japan / A Love story features highlights from Michael Kenna’s work in Japan over almost four decades.
The exhibition runs in Santa Monica from May 11 to July 20. Stay tuned London for the next leg of the exhibition this Fall 2024!
