japan 
title
Calculated Chaos
Locations:
Hakozaki-JCT in Tokyo(箱崎JCT,東京), Hokkou-JCT, Awaza-JCT in Osaka (北港JCT, 阿波座JCT,大阪)
In search of something new and fresh, Yoshihiko's passion for photography started in 2011 when he purchased his first DSLR, a Nikon D90 which was the beginning of his unique photography career.
Waterfalls were his first obsession and found himself totally enamored with the surrealistic smooth flow caused by ND filters and found himself visiting a creek near his home every weekend, and experimenting with various filters.
He gradually changed his preferences and photography style and now finds himself in his most comfortable place in the black and white fine art genre. He found inspiration from both Julia Anna Gospodarou and Joel Tjintjelarr, who are pioneers of this genre. He learned the basics of this distinct post process style from them, daylight hyper long exposure with high contrast black and white processing. He now incorporates his own ideas, themes, colorings, and methods into his images.
He believes his photographs are not philosophical or difficult and everyone can easily understand them when they first see them. He thinks of his photographs as entertainment and if people can be entertained and feel joy from them he'd be very happy.
