Masumi Shiobara Photo Exhibition "Portraits of Fruits"

The works he has produced over many years as a fruit breeder, working closely with nature, are infused with the knowledge and experience he has gained through the breeding process, as well as his respect for nature, making them works that could only be produced in Shiobara.

The photographs that capture the beauty of the fruits that Masumi Shiobara has grown and their growth process, as well as the original works that utilize the fruits of her efforts, are not just beautiful, but also give a sense of dialogue with nature and the potential that fruit holds. I hope that many people will be able to see their charm.

I am a fruit farmer and have striven to create an artistic photographic record of the fruit I grow in its most visually pleasing form before it is harvested.
