| Narahashi
ASAKO - Lives in Tokyo |
Born in
Tokyo in 1959. Graduated from School
of Letters, Art and Science II of
Waseda University, as an art major.
As a student, she responded to an
advertisement in Shashin jidai posted
by Moriyama Daido and subsequently
joined the photography group, Photo
session. In 1990, she established
a private gallery 03FOTOS in order
to present her personal works.
Jointly published ten issues of Main
with Ms. Ishiuchi Miyako from 1996
to 2000. Her photography books NU-E
(1997), FUNICULI FUNICULA (2003) drew
attention by capturing the Japanese
landscape with a unique sense of distance.
Award-winning photographs, half awake
and half asleep in the water focus
on the rippling surfaces of the sea
and lakes, which capture the scenes
both underwater and above. This work,
which depends on the fluid encounters
between land and water, leaves an
ambiguity between awake and asleep.
Her photo is recognized as opening
a new photographic style. Nazraeli
Press (U.S.) published its photography
book last fall and it enjoys a high
reputation from abroad. |

OBATA - Lives in Tokyo |
| Born in Fujisawa,
Kanagawa in 1962. Graduated from Nihon
University Department of Art, with
a specialization in photography in
1985. After working as a photographer
for a publishing company and as an
assistant to an architecture photographer,
he continued his work as a freelance
artist. He currently shoots photos
for company publications, magazines
and advertisements, when not pursuing
creative personal projects. Won the
Taiyo award in 1997 with the photographs
he took in Shanghai while working
for a publishing company. In 1997,
he went to Sakhalin using the Konica
Photography Encouragement Prize and
created Invisible Border. His fascination
with the beautiful light of Madeira,
Portugal led to his publication of
Bird of Paradise. His February book
captured the hearts of many people
as soon as it was published, with
photos depicting Hokkaido’s dancing
snow crystals in the wild, boys speed
skating in the night rink, and a magical
winter dreamland. |
