Iwakura Shiori’s Floral Photography

One of the key characteristics of Iwakura Shiori’s photography is her palette of colours, which draws heavily on the seasons. The virginal white of snow follows the warm colours of autumn, before spring and its multiple shades of green take over, to then give way to summery blue.

The images captured by this photographer, born in Kagawa prefecture on Shikoku island, have a cinematic quality, as if they were taken straight from a Studio Ghibli film: schoolgirls, young people wandering among the cherry trees, flowers, trees, sunsets… They are very simple moments, but magnified through the photographer’s lens.

Iwakura Shiori plays with her environment, sometimes urban and other times natural, and with the choice of strong colours offered by the context or the seasons to enhance everyday places, like a park, a street or a building, which we tend to walk past on a daily basis without ever paying close attention.
