PUT TOGETHER," an exhibition of photographs by HAL, an up-and-coming photographer with skateboarding as his backbone, is currently being held.
When I didn't know much about how and how to express something using "photography" in my mind, I was a painter and a photographer.David Hockney, Ph.HAL was impressed when he saw a photo book featuring the panoramic collages of "The Art of the Panorama." He was struck by the "freedom" and the way of expression that only a painter can achieve through photography, and his worldview and sense of value in photography were instantly broadened. Since then, he has discovered the diversity of ways to communicate through photography and has immersed himself in making panoramic collages.
In this photo exhibition, works produced under the theme of panoramic collage are exhibited and sold. He has been enjoying skating since he was a junior high school student and started taking pictures under the influence of his father, a photographer, and started making a zine.
