"HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. This technique expresses the difference between the lightest light and darkest dark that are possible to capture in a photo. The process consists in merging several photographs of the same scene, shot with varying shutter speed combinations, in order to attain a greater dynamic range of luminosity than with a single photograph. The images are then blended together automatically, or in postproduction, in order to create a single image presenting the most focused, the most well-lit and the most colorful parts of the scene. To some extent, the final images are the result of a fully automated process. Oftentimes, the images made using HDR present outrageous contrasts and uncanny temporalities. The world seems to unveil all its facets, as if the day and the night were present at the same time. HDR_nature intends to tweak this normal set of operations. Mizutani explore this technology that is always more common in contemporary photography as a way to discover new images, and at the same time, as a challenge to expand the possibilities of photography. In particular, by moving the camera while shooting, Mizutani forces the software to the limits of its ability to represent reality. By slightly disrupting the process of reproduction, his series gives rise to a whole range of unplanned and welcomed visual combinations. Captured with the HDR rendering algorithms, the familiar forms of the natural environment are transformed into pleochroic patterns in half-light color gradient. Our eyes are constantly reframing the shapes and the contents, the foregrounds and the backgrounds, the obscurity and the clarity. Polymorphic and ubiquitous, this series documents a radiant, hybrid natural environment, in which the elements seem to be in perpetual transformation."--Photographer's website.
