\"KUROSAWA
KUROSAWA x ERIC KIM \/ 7 SAMURAI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m currently studying Kurosawa<\/a>, the legendary film maker from Japan, and I realized why<\/em> I like to study the masters of photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

New Book: MASTERS<\/a><\/h2>\n
\"MASTERS
Bundled MASTERS<\/a> by HAPTIC<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Take your visual artistry to the next level with the first edition of MASTERS<\/a>, printed and published by HAPTIC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. The masters motivate me to shoot<\/h2>\n

Studying Kurosawa<\/a> and other film and cinema<\/a>, I am utterly inspired by their genius. How they composed images, how they told stories through their pictures, and their singular vision.<\/p>\n

When I study a lot of master photographers, and analyze their images (I like to trace their pictures with my fingers on iPad, using Procreate app) I start to better SEE pictures. I feel like my visual acuity and Perception<\/a> is sensitized, like increasing the ISO of my eyes for composition and graphical forms.<\/p>\n

I get excited. I see graphical elements and pictures everywhere.<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been experimenting, shooting picture on iPad, then tracing them too.<\/p>\n

Lesson: Anything and everything is interesting enough, only if you look closely enough<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also by tilting your head, diagonals, low angles.<\/p>\n
