Shumon Saito / 斎藤 朱門
[English/英語]
Landscape photographer based in Tokyo, JAPAN.
In 2013 California, USA, after having encountered a certain landscape photographer, he picked up a camera and started his activities.
He was inspired by the wonderfulness of the realism of the work he saw during his work in California, he felt the importance of shooting techniques and post-processing techniques that give a realistic feeling as if the viewer were on the spot It was. He begins to learn it by himself.
If you do not mind, nature always seems like an immutable thing that is always there, but if you stop a bit and turn your consciousness, nature will change even with the seasons and time and our feeling at that time
Shumon wants to tell the moment he saw at that time to people who see his work as well. From that thought he still visits not only Japan but also abroad and continues to shoot nature vigorously.

東京・日本に拠点におくランドスケープ・フォトグラファー。
2013年アメリカ・カリフォルニア州にて、あるランドスケープ・フォトグラファーとの出会いをきっかけにカメラを手に取り活動を始める。
海外での活動中に目にした作品の臨場感の素晴らしさに刺激を受け、二次元の平面的な印象ではなく、自らがその場にいるかのような三次元的な臨場感を出すレタッチテクニックの重要性を感じ、独学で学び始める。
自然とは、特に気に留めなければ、常にそこに在り続けている不変の物のように感じるが、ほんの少し立ち止まって意識を向ければ、季節や時間、さらにはその時の私達の気分によってすら姿を変えて現れ出す。
自身がその時見て感じた瞬間を、自身の作品を見てくれる人々にも同じ様に伝えたい…その想いから現在も日本のみならず海外へも訪れ、精力的に自然を撮り続けている。
