His refined compositions have come to define the fine-art photography movement of the 1920s and 1930s, and through his publications in photography magazines, Shiotani’s art has influenced the young photographers of his era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGifted in skill and interested in experimentation, Shiotani used a small Vest Pocket Kodak camera whose lens hood he removed for even softer images, pioneered techniques of bending the photographic paper during the printing process to create strange-looking landscapes or manipulated images in other imaginative ways. Almost a hundred years later, the high quality and dignified beauty of his work have lost none of their appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Shadows of Dreams” offers a look at Shiotani’s full oeuvre in four chapters as well as texts by his grand-daughter Susumu Shiotani and publisher Noriko Tsutatani, photographs about Shiotani’s life, a chronological record, a bibliography, and a catalogue listing Shiotani’s works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teiko Shiotani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57895527776638,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/Shadows-of-dreams-by-Teiko-Shiotani1.heic?v=1787308025","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/products\/shadows-of-dreams-the-photographs-of-teiko-shiotani-1899-1988","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
