Norio Takasugi Biography

It has always been Norio Takasuki’s endeavour to lend three-dimensionality to the photograph. As a photographer, he started late. He actually studied industrial design and sculpture at Musashino Art University in Tokyo and graduated in 1999 as a sculptor. He came to photography indirectly through his grandfather, who had studied photography and later ran a photo studio, which his uncle ran after him, and from that uncle he inherited a Mamiya medium-format camera and a Nikon 35 mm camera, both of which he still uses today. He doesn’t use a 3-D-printer to achieve three-dimensionality. Just as he uses analogue cameras, he also looks for analogue solutions for the task he set himself.
