Michael Kenna
British · b. 1953

Kenna creates long exposure black and white gelatin silver prints of serene water landscapes and natural environments that share Sugimoto's meditative minimalism and precise tonal control. His work similarly reduces natural scenes to their essential elements through careful attention to light and stillness.

Masao Yamamoto
Japanese · b. 1957

Yamamoto works in small scale monochromatic silver gelatin photography depicting quiet natural landscapes and water scenes with a deeply contemplative Japanese sensibility. His images share Sugimoto's emphasis on solitude, subtle tonal gradations, and the meditative relationship between light and nature.

Lynn Davis
American · b. 1944

Davis photographs vast natural landscapes including water and glacial environments using large format black and white photography that achieves the same serene minimalist quality found in Sugimoto's lake series. Her work similarly uses monochromatic tones and expansive open compositions to evoke stillness and timelessness.
