Shinichi Maruyama





















Pieces of work like this reminds me that there's always a new angle to be found when you are trying to look for a new creative point-of-view in your own work. This is probably the best water photography I have seen to date. Shinichi Maruyama's approach is extremely inventive, but most of all, it seems that he has a love-connection to this natural element and the art of: finding the beauty of imperfection (Wabi-sabi). He exploits all his views and does a good job to present it in a beautiful manner.

Just the simple addition of black dyes to the water creates an amazing contrast I would've never thought about doing. Shinichi can afford to do without additional colors, keep it in a black & white format, and still hydrate our perception one-picture-at-a-time.

This is so cool, I always have a deep liking for water movements, especially when it is freeze in time!
Reminds me of a discovery channel show "Time Warp".

I just love art like this - it's so...cool! There's just not a better word.

Subby- Yes indeed... I can definitely see why he would want to work with water. The contrast he creates with the black dye in the water is synonymous to the aspects of the ying and yang balance.

Victoria- His photography and results definitely have that "cool" factor all over.

This is so good. I love how theres so much movement in the water yet ironically being a photograph - frozen in time.
