He might be the greatest landscape photographer of our time, and I can almost guarantee that studying his work will inspire you to pick up your camera.
In this episode, Amy clues us into Michael Kenna’s artistic practice, philosophy, and the road that led him to seek out these moments of meditative solitude.
Engaging with Michael Kenna’s work brings up so many topics even beyond the image itself, some of which are: photography allows us to capture a truth our eyes normally can’t see, the observer effect reminds us that our mere gaze changes how the world behaves, and without wabi-sabi we’re void of all intrigue.
Grab some black and white film and maybe even an nd filter and get ready to learn some things about art, creativity, life and the intersection of it all.
