Koyo Tamaki Art

Japanese, b. 1967
Koyo Tamaki was born in Nagoya, Japan. When he was nine years old, his family moved to Pakistan where they spent the next three years. In 1988, Koyo began taking photographs while finishing his degree in architecture. After graduation, he began working as an architectural engineer for the Japanese government. In 1992, after a trip to Pakistan, Koyo began to consider photography as a career. Shortly thereafter, he moved to New York City to study at the Pratt Institute, where he earned an M.F.A. in photography. In his work, Koyo attempts to rediscover the world through his own eyes and technique. When taking a photograph, Koyo considers the four lines of picture frame, light intensity, tonal density, contrast, texture, and -most importantly-how it looks. Without his experiences, persistence, intuition, and open mind, he could not have made it this far.

Chalk Streams 6, Ellie Davies - Nature Photography, Colour Photography
By Ellie Davies
Located in Brighton, GB
All prints are produced to order and lead times are expected between 15-20 days. Chalk Streams 6 is a stunning C-Type Print on Fuji Crystal Archive Paper in Maxima Matte. This size print is available in an Edition of 7 + 2 Artist Proofs. In her new series, Chalk Streams, Ellie Davies focusses on the stunning natural ecosystems that are the crystal-clear chalk streams in Dorset and Hampshire, near where she lives, in the West of England. One theme that threads throughout her entire body of work is an appreciation and concern for the natural environment around us. In Chalk Streams, Davies looks at the delicate ecosystems that are under threat. Chalk streams are a unique ecosystem that house a high biodiversity of plants and creatures. Their cool, fresh waters come from rain that permeates the chalk, filtering it and allowing it to flow through the flinty bedrock and emerge further down slopes as purely clear mineral water. In this series, Davies takes the reflection of light on the surface of the sea and overlays it onto the chalk streams, creating a sparkling liquid path...
