Meruhen Hill study, Hokkaido Print - Limited Edition of 5

This is the last image I shot before heading back to Tokyo from Hokkaido on my last trip. This hill and these trees are pretty famous, especially in Winter, because of the beautiful symmetry they create and the simplicity of the snow. With this image I wanted to do something different, trying to use the shadows as prominent elements in the frame. I like to believe the snow is not so obvious in this shot, giving an overall feeling of “somewhere else”. I really like when the viewer stops looking at the print, trying to figure out if this was snow or sand, trying to give a rational context to what essential is just a game of lights and shadows. This is what minimalism means to me. The original is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Satin 310 gsm 100% Cotton white satin-finish paper and manually signed.
