Artist challenge - Toshio Shibata

[moni kozi]

Thank you very much to everyone who entered and voted in the previous challenge. I am overjoyed to have won that particular one, since ICM is my favourite technique, and Olga Karlovac's work was love at first sight. I have implemented a habit to print out one photo per month, from those posted on 365. My choice this month is very easy, thanks to you all.

For the current challenge I selected a Japanese photographer: Toshio Shibata. The main theme is landscape photography with the following constraints:
- nature and man-made structures coexist
- no sky
- no human presence
- omission of everyday reference structures (houses, vehicles) unless relevant to the composition
Photos can be b&w or colour.
Enter as many entries as you wish. I shall take the liberty to include more than one shot per photographer, if I deem so (the privilege of the host).

I was inspired by this video https://youtu.be/CpKofdye1eg

Such interesting photography.

Hmmmm.. intriguingly specific! I must give this some thought!

I saw that video and follow that youtube channel since you posted a reference to it a while back, its great!

[moni kozi]

@kali66 I like it mostly because the guy shows how to replicate the style and also talks about the essence of the photos. I wanted to go for Alexey Titarenko, but I feared people had had enough of blurry images.

[Krista Marson]

This sounds like a fun choice of photographer to emulate

[Suzanne]

Thankyou for sharing the inspirational video and links. Food for thought

[Walks @ 7]

[Brigette]

hey there, just checking do entries need to be taken during the current date range or can they be from the archives!

[moni kozi]

@brigette Brigette, I'll use the advantage of the host and accept entries taken at any time.

@monikozi 👍🏻

Love it, I shall use it for my future monthly project.

[Stephomy]

I'm having a lot of fun with this challenge. I love having a set list of rules and trying to find situations that fit them.

@stephomy I discovered that it is much more easier to create when a precise set of rules is set.
