Pre-flight
Early influence came from the straight photography school of the famous Group f.64 as well as the philosophy of Henri Cartier-Bresson. Gary’s style is largely reflective of the focal sharpness and extreme depth of field that characterized the works of Group f.64. Gary’s philosophical approach is best described by Cartier-Bresson who stated “You just have to live and life will give you pictures.” These pioneering photographers continue to serve as sources of inspiration. Seeking new perspectives from every day scenes is what drives his creativity.

about the photographer
Gary W. Kuroki resides in Oakland, CA, and is a self taught photographer recording black and white fine art images. “Life is an infinite sequence of moments in time. Most go unnoticed, unappreciated and forgotten. I seek to preserve a moment with the hope it will be considered, valued or remembered. I strive to distill the dynamic world of action, color and complexity into the simplicity of a singular black and white moment and to transform the prosaic into a new, compelling visual perspective.”Early influence came from the straight photography school of the famous Group f.64 as well as the philosophy of Henri Cartier-Bresson.
