Michael Kenna


I choose to do my biography research project over Michael Kenna. Kenna is a black and white landscape photographer and although he grew up England, he moved to the states in the 80s to pursue his career in photography. He moved to San Francisco but traveled all throughout the world to take landscape pictures. 
 Mr. Kenna uses Hasselblad medium format and Holga cameras to achieve these images. "Kenna's photography focuses on unusual landscapes with ethereal light achieved by photographing at dawn or at night with exposures of up to 10 hours" (Wiki). I admire Mr. Kenna for all the time and dedication that he puts into his images and it really shows this dedication because his images are truly beautiful. Every time i look at his photography i feel really inspired to go out, grab a camera, and just start shooting the beautiful things around us that we take for granted everyday, that is why i choose Mr. Kenna to do my research project over.
