Kenji Higuchi
空気感や存在感、その場に宿る感動を写す。
動物、建築、風景を中心に撮影しています。
動物には生命の神秘や儚さを、建築物には存在感や空間としての美しさを、
そして風景には、その場で感じた感動や空気感をそのまま写し取ることを大切にしています。
被写体はさまざまな角度から丁寧に向き合い、
必要に応じて歴史や背景、生物学的な情報なども調べながら、
その魅力が最も伝わる表現を探しています。
レタッチは手段のひとつと捉え、
写真を通して感じた印象や感動が正しく伝わるのであれば、
過度に制限することはありません。
写真を見た人に、その場の空気や感動が伝わり、
「行ってみたい」「見てみたい」と感じてもらえること。
そして、日本にまだ数多く残る美しい場所や存在に目を向け、
それらを守っていくきっかけになればと考えています。
Capturing atmosphere, presence, and the quiet emotions of a place.
I photograph animals, architecture, and landscapes.
Through my work, I aim to convey the mystery and fragility of life found in animals,
the presence and spatial beauty of architecture,
and the emotions and atmosphere I experienced in each landscape.

I take time to carefully observe my subjects from many perspectives,
searching for the angle and expression that best reveal their character.
When necessary, I research their history, background, or biological aspects
to deepen my understanding and approach.

I consider retouching to be one of the tools of expression.
As long as the atmosphere and impression I felt are faithfully conveyed,
I do not limit myself unnecessarily in the editing process.

Through my photographs, I hope viewers can sense the air and emotions of the place
and feel inspired to visit and experience it for themselves.
I also wish to highlight the many beautiful places and subjects that still exist in Japan,
and to contribute, even in a small way, to their appreciation and preservation.
