Svelte (2022) Photography by Nao Fujiwara

Nao Fujiwara is a Japanese photographer based in the Baie de Somme. she photographs nature with an original look. Born in Japan to Japanese parents, she has been immersed in French as well as Japanese culture since her childhood. Thus, you will find in his works a touch of "sumie", traditional ink painting, and "wabi-sabi", art and aesthetics of sober and imperfect things. Indeed, whatever the subject, Nao likes sublimating the ordinary, finding beauty in everything that most of the time seems banal. She prefers authenticity, spontaneity, simplicity and the emotion that emerges from it rather than perfect beauty, posed and put scene. Nao immortalizes the evolution of the nature of the bay over the seasons by photographing the small details of nature that most often go unnoticed but which, for Nao, are small treasures. By playing on light, blur and framing, his photographs will make you rediscover from a new angle the discreet beauties of nature that surround you.
