YOSHIKO SEINO

Welcome to the photography portfolio website of a photographer, Yoshiko Seino.

I focus on representing landscapes and scenes that are usually hard to reproduce, thus capturing those ethereal moments. The technological tools are the brushes that I use to illuminate the surreal elements of nature.

Yoshiko Seino

Photographer ( 1962 – 2009 )

Yoshiko Seino is a modern art photographer. Born in Tokyo in 1962. Started photography in earnest in 1995. Since then, she has been active as a photographer with her own stance, and her quiet landscape photography has been highly evaluated both inside and outside the country. In 1999, announced the series “Emotional Imprintings” at Gallery Koyanagi (Ginza, Tokyo). In 2003, she published the photo book “The Sign of Life”, and the following year, she held a solo exhibition of the series at the Wintertura Museum of Photography, Switzerland. Participated in many group exhibitions at home and abroad, including the Yokohama Museum of Art. She passed away in 2009, and “Gather your heart everywhere, stand up” became a photo book of his last works.
