This week we speak to Isamu Sawa.
Isamu, born in Japan and raised in Australia, has had a life long passion for photography since being gifted a Yashika 35 rangefinder camera from his father at the age of nine. Isamu’s career has spanned the commercial industry from rock and roll to car photography, and later to a beautiful artistic practice which he says has redefined his approach to his work at every level. Isamu says “I believe an image should stand the test of time—delivered through Japanese-inspired discipline, creativity and technical craft.”
A wonderful conversation with a photographer balancing the world of commercial and art photography.
