"Using the analogy of the theatre, I would say that I like to photograph the empty stage, before or after the performance, even in-between acts. I love the atmosphere of anticipation, the feeling in the air that events have happened, or will happen soon." Michael Kenna
PERSONAL
Born 1953 in Widnes, Lancashire, England
Currently lives in Seattle, Washington, USA
1973-76, London College of Printing, London, England.

Michael Kenna’s mysterious photographs, often made at dawn or in the dark hours of night, concentrate primarily on the interaction between the natural landscape and human-made structures. Kenna is both a diurnal and nocturnal photographer, fascinated by light when it is most pliant. With long time-exposures, which might last throughout the night, his photographs often record details that the human eye is not able to perceive.
Kenna is particularly well-known for the intimate scale of his photography and his meticulous personal printing style. He works in the traditional, non-digital, silver photographic medium. His exquisitely hand crafted black and white prints, which he makes in his own darkroom, reflect a sense of refinement, respect for history, and thorough originality.
During Kenna’s fifty year career, his photographic prints have been shown in over five hundred one-person exhibitions and over four hundred group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the world. They are also included in well over a hundred permanent institutional collections. Ninety monographs and exhibition catalogs have so far been published on Kenna’s work.
