Statement and Call for Entry

“5 Photo Award”

“Landscape”

Photographer : Abbas Kiarostami

“Still Life”

Photographer : Ayako Takaishi

Topic:

Landscape
The purpose of choosing the theme of landscape photography as one of our categories is to explore the beauty of nature and record pure moments of it. While nature takes the part of the protagonist, the photographer who captures its beauty is taking the role of the director in landscape photography.

If we take a look at art in the Far East, especially in Japanese and Chinese art, human beings are treated equally to all other elements in the artwork. In the art of photography, humans can also be included as part of nature and do not differ from other elements in terms of compositional value. They are like a drop of water in an endless sea of nature.

Still Life
Still life photography is a challenging style, because photographers need to incorporate all their experiences into a minimalist but powerful composition. The goal is to express an idea or a specific concept in the simplest way possible.

The main aspect of this style is the arranging of the scene. Photographers are more involved in creating the scene rather than just taking a shot.
