Photographing Japanese Aesthetics : Kogarashi - A Cold Wind That Ushers in Winter

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Kogarashi is a part of Japanese aesthetics as it is a unique poetic nature word that we really don’t have in English and I think it’s yet another way for you to connect with nature and the seasons. So, I’ve given myself a little photography project of trying to capture something as abstract as a Japanese aesthetic, or a philosophy of beauty...

    You just made me cry...Two years ago, I've stop doing photography since my dad died, my mom got CVA and my brother got cancer. I hope I will get the ''flame'' back. I miss these days when I would go for hours locking for this style of pictures... Your images are just beautiful! Also I'm very fond of Japanese culture and artists ( Hokusai, Hiroshige, Utamaro, Makoto Fujimura,...)THANK YOU VERY much for sharing this moment with us. So glad I find your video. Please continue, You made my day! Greetings from Québec, Canada.

    I'm glad the video resonated with you. I'm sorry for you loss and what must have been a rough period of time. Photography can sometimes be therapeutic, I hope you get back out there and explore the seasons and capture a few moments. Dress warm though, it must be getting pretty cold up there by now. Thanks for sharing.

    Great video. For me, the two willow leaves clinging to delicate branches best captured the ephemeral transition from autumn to winter. Simple and elegant. Thanks, Josh, for taking the time to make these videos. Yes, I would love to learn more about Japanese aesthetics.

    Thanks for sharing! Yes, willows aren't the typical image of Kogarashi but I think it fits, with a few still clinging to autumn. Cheers!

    The two willow leaves photo felt like the embodiment of this. The leaves had a glow in comparison to the background, giving the feeling of comfort before the winter.

    I saw a face in the lower left side of the tree trunk near the video's end. These photos are exquisite, and will inspire viewers to appreciate the letting go, transitional aspect of the season. It's simply gorgeous. Yes, please create more like this.

    Definitely! I notice things later when editing that I didn't see or focus on at the time of shooting. It's like seeing the place for the first time, again.
