Kenro Izu
This limited edition to 15 copies comes with a sunning print signed and numbered by Kenro Izu. Kenro Izu considers his own photography, especially still life that he composes in the studio, as a sort of conversation with himself. The print of this limited edition features a mask facing to a pear. He sees the mask, any mask, as a magic tool that transforms the person who wears it and brings him to another dimension. It may even be a parallel world to the world where we live. At the time of taking this photograph, he was questioning himself about what is that the being behind the mask is seeing through the black holes for the eyes. It actually may not even be a pear. The photographer aims to c...
Eternal Light
Kenro Izu_s Eternal Light radiates spirituality. In Varanasi, known as the Indian _City of Light,_ Izu photographed festivals, rituals, cremations as well as individual experiences of joy and suffering related to death and the afterlife. In Allahabad, where the Ganges and Yamuna Rivers meet, Izu attended the festival of Kumbh Mela, and in the city of Vrindavan, he photographed among the thousands of temples dedicated to Krishna. Highly attuned to the emotions of his subjects, Izu_s exquisitely rendered photographs transcend earthly concerns. He has stated: _It_s as though the Hindu gods have suggested that I think about the question, where are people heading, in this life and after?_ Through these photographs Izu strives to find the answers. Kenro Izu is interested in focused clarity achieved through meditative stillness rather than through language. A simplifying quietude reduces the chatter behind the eyes and produces concentrated seeing. Arthur Ollman, founding director of the Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego
Still Life
Master photographer Kenro Izu has for years been working with the platinum palladium process to create stunning nudes and floral still lifes. Using large-format cameras, and contact printing images as large as 14x20 inches, Izu creates photographs that possess a rare sensuality and tactility. Their surface qualities and rich tonalities conjure the hand-crafted beauty of earlier movements in photography, but these images are so timeless they beg contemplation and immersion from the viewer. It's no wonder Izu has been noticed by such important photography collectors as Elton John. This book, the first devoted to both Izu's nudes and floral still lifes, is certain to become a classic. Printed in large format on luscious Italian stock, the images come alive in this rarefied book -- which features an introduction by Richard Gere, and an interpretive essay by noted curator Arthur Olman.
Sacred Places

Passage to Angkor
The world's premier photographer of sacred sites, Kenro Izu's remarkable work both pays homage to the 19th-century masters of photography yet displays an undercurrent of striking modernity. Collected here are Izu's most accomplished Angkor Wat photographs, enhanced with the acclaimed poetry of Helen Ibbitson Jessup. Izu's Passage to Angkor will be featured in a traveling exhibition beginning December 2003.

The Night is Still Young
With The Night Is Still Young, Los Angeles-based, Japanese photographer Tomoaki Hata returns to his roots-the underground club scene of Osaka's gay, nightlife district. Filled with intimate images of the radically-creative drag queens who performed at various venues in the city from the late 1990s through the present, this book is a peek into the underbelly of modern Japan. Hata occupies a much-deserved place in the ranks of the great Japanese photographers-on par with the likes of Daido Moriyama and Nobuyoshi Araki-yet he achieved this rank not by following the example of these greats, but via the presentation of his own unique view of a slice of Japanese culture that otherwise remains larg...
Lusitano
A visual story of the Lusitano horse adeptly told through the lens of Keron Psillas Oliveira. Keron tells her story of meeting, photographing, and ultimately living in the land of her beloved Lusitano horse. Includes four essays - one at each chapter beginning, and an index of images providing the names of all the horses, riders if depicted, and the date and location the photographs were made. Lady Sylvia Loch, author of The Royal Horse of Europe and recipient of The Order of Merit from Portugal, describes Keron's work in this way: Keron's photographs depict a horse that is unique in terms of how he touches us. In them we see a true artist at work, delivered in the form of photographs that n...
