Incredible Work of Shinichi Maruyama

Came across some incredible art work via Conor Horgan’s Tumblr – the photography of Shinichi Maruyama.

The photo reproduced below is part of a series of photographs titled “Kusho”. This was the first and possibly most impacting photo I saw and it definitely took my breath away seeing this and am strongly considering picking up the “Kusho” book (if and when I have some spare funds).

Conor originally put up a photo of Shinichi at work which, as soon as I saw it, made me think of some recent ideas I’ve been playing around with for my next release artwork.

Whilst I’m not expecting to come up with anything quite as breathtaking, I’m hoping it’s going to be the strongest album artwork I’ve done yet, and something that demonstrates the amount of thought behind it.

Again, if you like these, definitely head over to Shinichi’s website.
