RLA behind-the-scenes:
For one of our projects, we had the privilege to collaborate with the talented, up-and-coming Japanese architectural photographer Tomooki Kengaku. For many years, Tomo has worked with Japan’s leading architectural photography agency, Nacasa & Partners.
Unlike many architectural photographers, Tomo brings a unique painterly eye to his pictures - having come from a fine arts school background. His photography re-creates a mood of calmness and serenity to delicate effect. This adds an allure to the space being photographed.
Photographing our space was a challenge since we had limited time to stage all the shots - amid the changing sun conditions. It helped that we were able to speak some Japanese - albeit imperfectly.
Tomo worked to uncompromising standards (including for painstaking post-production work) and we were delighted at the result! We look forward to our next chance to collaborate with him.
