KEISUKE OTOBE Photographer

‘Every time I work with my scanner, it’s a memorable experience,’ says Otobe of the technique behind his jewellery shoot for us (page 108). ‘The outcome is unpredictable; I never have control over the process and that’s the beauty of it.’ Based between three capitals (Beijing, London and Tokyo), Otobe is working on his ‘I Am a Sculptor’ series, using his scanner ‘to change the shape of an image exactly like a sculptor would do with “physical” materials’.
