An exhibition of photographs by Jeremy Hoare, professional travel and portrait photographer, television cameraman, director and producer, who has been photographing Japan and Kyoto in particular for over twenty-five years. His photographs have been used extensively worldwide in all forms of media; newspapers, magazine, brochures, books, videos and promotional material.
There will also be a display of kimono by Chizuko Kimura, kimono maker, Urasenke tea master and photographer, to show aspects of the specialised textiles created in Kyoto.
The London exhibition at a gallery right in front of the British Museum coincides with the launch of dedicated website www.kyotophotogallery.com where the exhibition images and many more are available for sale worldwide. A further gallery exhibition will be held in Kyoto in October 2014.
Kyoto, city of dreams is showing from 10-15 June 2014 at Mokspace Gallery, 33 Museum Street,
Bloomsbury, London, WC1A 1LH.
Tokyo features in Christopher Hauser’s SKY.LINES, now on at the Gallery@LR in London. Christopher’s work focuses on the beautiful, dramatic and complex scenery of skylines found around the world. So of course Tokyo’s dynamic skyline was a wonderful subject for him to photograph.
The photographic exhibition SKY.LINES, held in Lloyd’s Register’s iconic Richard Rogers building in London, brings together an impressive collection of urban photography from cities including Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, New York, San Francisco, Sydney and Singapore. Hauser has captured these landmark cities in striking lights and perspectives, aiming to encapsulate their true characters and dynamics, showing how cultures form skylines into unique fingerprints.
“Learning more about urban planning and architecture in the recent years helped me to develop a greater appreciation for the skylines of mega-cities. The core of mega-cities across the world is the cultural pulse and economic engines of urban regions where millions of people live. A skyline is unique and the fingerprint and DNA of that city. All urban life begins each day and ends each night under the watch of the city’s tallest skyscrapers and most grand architectural structures. Skylines reflect and influence cultures, lifestyles and quality of life of the people who live there.” Christopher Hauser, Photographer.
