Architecture nominee

There are full of buildings in a big city.
Some are unique, others are mediocre. Some are fashionable, others are dull.
Some are round, others are square.Some are colorful, others are monotone.

However looking up the sky, you will see; each buildings start to form its unique geometry appearance.

The series of pictures were captured by ultra wide angle lenses in order to frame several buildings all together.
For adding to the surreal mood of the sky, I shot them by long exposure technique in the daytime around 3～5 minutes with total16 stop ND filters.

Photos were taken at Tokyo, Osaka, San Francisco.

[Biography]
As well as being a passionate photographer, Yoshihiko is also a professional sound designer in the very demanding video game industry.

In search of something new and fresh, Yoshihiko's passion for photography started in 2011 when he purchased his first DSLR, a Nikon D90 which was the beginning of his unique photography career.

Waterfalls were his first obsession and found himself totally enamored with the surrealistic smooth flow caused by ND filters and found himself visiting a creek near his home every weekend, and experimenting with various filters.

He gradually changed his preferences and photography style and now finds himself in his most comfortable place in the black and white fine art genre.
