Yamamoto works in gelatin silver print photography with a deeply contemplative and poetic sensibility, producing monochromatic images of nature that emphasize stillness, impermanence, and the quiet sublime in a manner closely aligned with Sugimoto's seascapes.

Salgado's Genesis series features large format black and white photographs of oceans and elemental landscapes rendered with dramatic tonal richness and a sense of timeless grandeur that resonates with the sublime and meditative qualities of Sugimoto's horizon focused seascapes.
