Gary W. Kuroki Fine Art Photography

As an artist who thrives on the interplay between lines, shapes, reflections, light and shadow, my work explores themes of contrast and perspective, striving to evoke a sense of wonder in each photograph. Through careful observation and a deep appreciation for authentic composition, my images aim to transcend the ordinary and transform the mundane into the extraordinary.

Early influence came from the straight photography school of the famous Group f.64. My work is largely reflective of the focal sharpness and extreme depth of field that characterized the works of Group f.64. These pioneering photographers have and continue to serve as sources of inspiration.

I do not alter the natural composition of the subject or use advanced editing techniques to add or remove objects during processing. Instead, I rely on composing and processing the image as it is presented to me. My photographs adhere to the principles of Authentic Composition.

My philosophical approach is best described by Cartier-Bresson who said, “You just have to live, and life will give you pictures.” I strive to transform the prosaic into a new, captivating visual image. Seeking new perspectives from everyday scenes is what drives my creativity.
