This expanded edition of the 2005 volume from Hatje Cantz is a comprehensive retrospective on photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto. Known for his mastery of the large-format camera and long exposures, Sugimoto creates images resonating with time and tonal depth. The book covers all his series, including wax figure portraits, evocative seascapes, long-exposure theater images, and scientific dioramas. New additions include "Lightning Fields" (2006) and "Photogenic Drawings" (2007). Born in Tokyo and trained in Los Angeles, Sugimoto's work straddles historical and modern influences, capturing moments that bridge past and present.
