Японская эстетика в фотографии: ваби-саби, моно но аваре, дзен… Другой способ фотографирования

Understanding the Neo-Japonist Gaze How do Japanese aesthetics influence the way we see—and photograph—the world? In this clear and accessible essay, photographer and author Laurent Barrera explores the impact of key concepts from Japanese culture—Wabi-sabi, Mono no aware, Ma, Yūgen, and the spirit of Zen—on contemporary photography and our perception of reality. Through a cultural, artistic, and photographic approach, the author reveals how these sensibilities have shaped a different way of seeing: one that is more attentive to the present moment, minimalism, impermanence, and the subtle phenomena of the world. This revised and expanded second edition (2026), following the first edition published in 2025, includes new developments, additional contemporary photographers influenced by these aesthetics, and a deeper exploration of Neo-Japonism in photography. Illustrated with around twenty photographs by the author, this book invites you to discover: This book is intended for photographers, artists, lovers of Japanese culture, and anyone passionate about visual aesthetics who wishes to deepen their vision and develop a more sensitive and contemplative approach to imagery.
