[In homage to Hiro] Known for the originality of his photographs, Hiro’s photographic career began at Harper’s Bazaar New York as a fashion, still-life and portrait photographer. Arriving in America from Japan in 1954, Hiro began an apprenticeship in Richard Avedon’s studio, his talent was quickly recognised and he quickly rose to extraordinary fashion photography heights. ⁠⁠In 1963 he became the only photographer under contract at Harper’s Bazaar. Hiro’s work is characterised by surprises, abnormalities, unusual lighting. A strong influence of Surrealism can be seen throughout his work, as he explores the unreal and astounding. ⁠.⁠.⠀⁠.⠀⁠#valerydemure #jewellery #fashionjewelry #finejewellery #contemporarydesign #jewelry #luxury #objetdemotion #handmade #instagood #designerjewellery #fashionjewellery #jewellerycollector #jewel #jewels #artisan #craftsmanship
