Description

From the publisher: "Master photographer Kenro Izu has for years been working with the platinum palladium process to create stunning floral and nude still lifes. Using large-format cameras, and contact printing images as large as 14 x 20 inches, Izu creates photographs that possess a rare sensuality and tactility. Their surface qualities and rich tonalities reference the handcrafted beauty of earlier movements in photography, but these images are timeless - they beg contemplation and immersion from the viewer. This book, the first devoted to Izu's floral and nude still lifes, is certain to become a classic volume in contemporary photography."
