Ryota Hisanabe

Ryota Hisanabe is an Australian-Japanese photographer living in Spain.

I’ve started to take photography since I was eleven or twelve years old, influenced by record jackets in the 90’s in Japan. It becomes more serious/passionate after entering a university by studying industrial design. German photography impressed me a lot at the study, and now and then their style is always behind my photography ideas.

I love humans but, at the same time, I hate them. We are beautiful and ugly. I don’t take photos of any people, because it gives so much energy to me. Instead, I take photos of a trace of humanity. The sense of people. That may be what I cannot touch but I am willing to obtain, thus I record it as a two dimensional format.
