Capturing his roots, "iron". Photographer Shun Omiyama published his first photo book.

A photographer who pursues "anti-reality that is as close to reality as possible.Omiyama Shun. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a "man of the hour" who has been active in a variety of media and advertisements.

Although he has produced a number of elaborate works, this is surprisingly the first time he has released a photo book. The book, "hemoglobin," focuses on iron, which is deeply related to his own roots.

This collection of photographs is composed by the contrast between two types of steel still lifes, heavy machinery and swords. As a young boy, Komiyama was attracted to the object of "heavy machinery," and he has often used this motif in his works since he became an adult. His family before his great-grandfather forged Japanese swords as a swordsmith and has been involved with iron for generations, so the still life of "iron" is deeply connected to his own roots, and it seems that he arrived at this photo collection quite naturally.

The photo book includes a 2018 <〈J.W.Anderson, J.W.AndersonThe award for the "Best of the Best" is in the "Best of the Best" section of the "Best of the Best" section.your picture / our futureThe exhibition also included works that were selected for "The Best of the Best".

In conjunction with the release of the book, a photo exhibition of the same title will be held at COMPLEX BOOST in Nakameguro from November 28 (Wed.), and a limited number of 500 copies will be available at the exhibition.

. It is a pure work of art, with "iron" and "roots" as its concepts. The fact that Komiyama himself funded the entire cost of the production, without going through a publisher or crowdfunding, will convey the purity of the work. Please come and experience this sharp and beautiful work of art, which is all about flirtatious photography and takes a no-no stance against transient trends.
