To attain this effect, Izu employs a custom-made, 14-by-20-inch Deardorff camera that allows for a vast range of black-and-white tones. The subject matter Izu photographs--still lifes, nudes and sacred places across the globe--further attests to his flair for resplendence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoul Places\u003c\/i\u003e gathers 60 photographs from Izu's pilgrimages to religious monuments across Syria, Jordan, England, Chile, Cambodia, Burma, Indonesia, Vietnam and India. Studying each site and its worshippers, Izu sought to access a state of harmony with his surroundings, practicing meditation and contemplation throughout his photography sessions. Suffused with fey lighting, Izu's photographs truly encapsulate the aura of the sacred spaces. As the artist remarks, \"The 'sacredness' of a sacred place is within the geographic atmosphere and not limited to the architectural objects.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenro Izu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silvana Editoriale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.2lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 7.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788836660674","brand":"Silvana Editoriale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46814575263881,"sku":"9788836660674","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_feec4dc7-562a-4eb8-8ce2-211fc4ef81cd.jpg?v=1779826809","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/kenro-izu-soul-places-9788836660674","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
