Tomio seike biography of michael

In recognition of Tomio Seike’s long standing relationship with Hamiltons Gallery and in celebration of his 80th Birthday, Hamiltons has curated an exhibition of the Japanese photographer’s most iconic images.

Tomio Seike: Eighty features a selection of unique, platinum palladium prints and vintage, toned gelatin silver prints. The subjects include portraits of artist Zoe Leonard which was one of Seike’s first series. His intimate photographs, taken as they traveled through Tokyo, London, Paris and New York, give a rare insight into her youth and the series brought him significant recognition as a photographer. The exhibition also presents Seike’s later works of figurative nudes, along his other series such as ‘Paris’ and ‘Waterscapes’, which enhanced his reputation as a contemporary master working in a classical style.

An accute sensitivity comes across most effectively in his pictures of female nudes. These have an other-worldliness and mild abstraction; a quality that prevails throughout his work.

I was never interested in taking pictures of models or well-known individuals, I prefer ordinary people in ordinary situations, as you see every day and every moment - nothing special.
