Bathtubs, couples, love and challenge are strong themes throughout Photographer Hal‘s work with other key elements as individuality, style, communication and intimacy. The Japanese artist brings complete strangers to his confined, crucible like spaces only to convey his continuing theme of ‘love of the couple‘.
In the initial project “Pinky & Killer” he used a small space or room to capture the willing couples, soon followed by the “Couple Jam” which brought the focus even closer to the subjects who were placed in a bathtub together.
“I am currently seeking new dimensions in portrait photography by challenging the majestic theme of mankind, defined through love.” Photographer Hal’s latest project is called “Fresh Love”, which captures the many varied and fresh couples in vacuum sealed package.
Through the medium of photography, the couple has become his chosen vehicle to express the principle theme of world love, this will of course require a search to find subjects who are willing to participate. “I go to Kabukicho in Shinjuku, underground bars in Shibuya and many other places which are full of activity like luscious night time bee-hives.”
