TAKAHIRO IGARASHI (五十嵐誉弘）
Still life photographer based in NYC. Born in Japan, and raised in the United States.
Working both commercial and fine art, Takahiro has found his niche in high-end still life. He has deep passion for the entire process from conceptualizing to the delivery of final images.
Takahiro believes in the power of simplicity - the power to communicate an idea in a moment. His imagery derives from expressing the character of an object, while emphasizing on the essence within it.
Inspired by absolute attention to detail, heritage and craftsmanship, he is constantly honing his vision to bring forth what’s most important; the emotion triggered by beauty found in the inanimate.
Sophistication is the core structure behind simplicity.
