Sumi-e photography is the style photography of Japanese ink painters - not only in terms of color and texture, but also in terms of theme. Neither filters nor digital operations are used. Instead, natural light is captured from a particular angle with a specific aperture and shutter speed to produce an effect somewhere between the painting and the photo. The background imitates washi or Japanese handmade paper, and "space" is left for calligraphy.
When photos are printed on appropriate media [watercolor paper, canvas], calligraphy can be applied directly to the photo - each photo retains its personality.
Similar to the masters of traditional art forms, it requires dedication, passion, concentration, and the most important clarity of thought and mind in order to find truth and love in new art.
The history of Sumi-e
The traditional Japanese ink painting style has a rich and vivid history that has been going on for hundreds of years. The "sumi-e" style was introduced to Japan by Korean missionaries in the mid-14th century. The earliest practitioners of Sumi-e were concentrated, clear and simple art, and trained monks. Through years of reflection and strict discipline, the masters are committed to the art form. During the preparation process, they will make the ink by grinding a solid ink stick [formed by pine ash] on the stone and mixing it with water. Load the fude, which combines poetry, stories and characters with unique handwritten fonts on delicate rice paper or silk scrolls.
The famous style masters are Sesshu Toyo, Tensho Shubun and Josetsu.
