  Tooru Kuroda, Japan

Some people say that photography isn't art because it's just about selecting a subject and recording it with a machine.
However, as I'm a contemporary artist, I wanted to create photographs that can be called art.
And to do that, I thought it was necessary to "add traces of creativity."
To "create photographs," it's common to use apps like Photoshop.
However, I came up with the simple method of "changing the size of photos and layering them.
That's because I felt that simply reducing the same photo and layering it would look like art.
I would be happy if people would call these works art.

Many people say they can't live without music.
But how many people can't live without photograph or art?
Not only that, there are many people who look at photograph and art and say they don't understand it.
My photography skills are imperfect, but I would like to make up for what is lacking with ideas and ingenuity and create works that make people think, "I want to hang that photo in my room!"
To deliver happiness through photos.
"Amplified Photo" is my life's work.
