-CONCEPT-
icon CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY
In Europe, the US and Asia, mega galleries support dozens of art photographers, but in Japan, photography is not highly valued and photographers have a low status. Artists have a responsibility to create works that have artistic value and set appropriate prices. It is important for audiences to also consider owning works and support the art photography market. Our goal is for artists and audiences to work together to boost Japan's art photography market to the world.

Photography dates back to the daguerreotype in 1839, but its influence on the evolution of art began even before then. From the 17th century onwards, camera obscura enabled artists to create accurate one-point perspective, helping to shift painting from religious art to naturalism and realism.
Contemporary photography has evolved from silver halide to digital and inkjet printing, transforming into **machine painting** that expresses color and texture to the extreme. This has created a new aesthetic that goes beyond traditional painting and printmaking.
icon CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY is a platform for exploring the possibilities of photography as contemporary art and communicating to the world the unique visual expressions of Japanese artists who combine tradition with cutting-edge technology.
