Food Images Inspired by Yozo Hamaguchi

October 6, 2012 by Cynthia

I am pleased to share that Alimentum Journal is featuring a set of my food photographs inspired by Japanese artist Yozo Hamaguchi.

Even before my extraordinary journey to Japan a few years ago, I had been intrigued by Japan and its culture, especially depictions of nature in print and on cloth, and as expressed in music, words and images. But visiting Japan awakened my senses to food as visual art object. Further research introduced the works of Yozo Hamaguchi, who inspired a whole series of photographs.

The Hamaguchi-inspired images can be viewed in the Alimentum Art Gallery HERE.

And you can view the full gallery of images on my website HERE.

Bon apetit! 😉

What a marvelous set of work. Here we are looking at familiar ingredients for the first time, along with a few others that truly are for the first time.How fitting for the aesthetic. Congratulations!

I absolutely love the way the pepper clings to the radish slices. Your work is so zen.

Beautiful Cynthia. Loved the food images at the website. I took a shot of a fruit plate on an overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay that is very reminiscent of your shot on this post. Hadn’t realized it was artist-inspired. Well done!
