Tomio Sieke was born in Japan in 1943 and has been working on his hand printed series since 70's. Tomio graduated from the Japan Photographic Academy in 1970 too. He is recognized for his work in the United States as well as Great Britain. His photographs take months to complete and in a years time, he usually creates about 4 or 5 new images. In the past 40 years Sieke has created roughly four different bodies of work. The first was a portrait series of the artist Zoe Leonard( photographed for 5 years). After this he photographed nudes and from there, he created his series of classical Paris. In the more recent years he has moved into the "realm of abstraction combining both 19th century photography and contemporary painting practice to create highly unique vision. An important aspect of Tomio's work is the quality of light he is able to capture. He shoots under limited light conditions, sometimes with sunlight, sometimes with indoor room-level light.
