This series of photographs captures Japanese fireworks, Christmas lights, and other things using a technique called ICM (Intentional camera movement).
ICM takes photos while moving the camera. This is the "afterimage" that the human eye gets when looking at a moving landscape or strong light. There are several afterimage phenomena.
- The image seen while moving flows and blends together, becoming unclear
- The image remains even if you close your eyes after looking at a strong light
- The complementary color of the light appears when you close your eyes after looking at a strong light
These phenomena are blurred or temporary, so they cannot be clearly remembered. However, they can be clearly captured with a camera. The "way of moving" the camera to take a photo has a degree of freedom that fixed photography does not have, so by rotating or shaking the camera slightly, you can create abstract expressions that add "atmosphere" and "fluctuation". It is like action painting in painting, and it is random, and half of it is uncontrollable. What is expressed here is a fusion of the energy of the fireworks explosion and the way I move my camera. It sometimes looks like the universe, and sometimes like a sacred beast. And it is a surrealist photograph that I could never have imagined myself, between the conscious and the unconscious.

A series of photographs of Japanese landscapes, nature, and wildlife.
Japan is a long, narrow island nation with a complex topography that is rare in the world and a climate with distinct seasonal changes. This rich nature gives us beautiful scenery, pure water, and a rich variety of flora and fauna, but it also sometimes takes people's lives in disasters such as floods and earthquakes. The Japanese have coexisted with this nature with a sense of awe, respecting and fearing it, and from the idea of the "eight million gods" that gods reside in everything in the natural world, they created the traditional belief system "Shinto." In response to the "changes" and "transience" brought about by nature, they have also discovered their own unique sensibilities such as "impermanence," "mono no aware," "yugen," "wabi," and "sabi." The "sumi-e" and "ukiyo-e" that were born from this are art forms that express Japanese beauty through the Japanese aesthetic sense.
Hiroike has enjoyed outdoor sports such as stream fishing, cycling, and mountain climbing since he was a child, and since becoming a photographer, he has been using his mountain climbing skills to express Japanese landscapes, nature, and wildlife as his main subjects through the medium of photography with a Japanese aesthetic sense. In particular, his firefly photography has won awards at the Sony World Photography Awards and LensCulture Critics' Choice, the world's largest photo contest. In 2024, he made his debut as an author of the 90-year-old "Yamakei Calendar," becoming one of Japan's leading landscape photographers.

The black and white landscape photographs are a series of photographs inspired by Japanese ink painting.
Japan is a long, narrow island nation with a complex topography that is rare in the world and a climate with clear seasonal changes. This rich nature gives us beautiful scenery, pure water, and a rich variety of flora and fauna, but it also sometimes takes people's lives in disasters such as floods and earthquakes. The Japanese, who have coexisted with nature while respecting and fearing it, gave birth to the traditional belief system of Shinto, based on the idea that gods reside in everything in the natural world, the idea of the "eight million gods." And they have also found their own unique sensibilities in the "transience" and "change" brought about by nature, such as "impermanence," "the pathos of things," "mysteriousness," "wabi," and "sabi." The "ink painting" that was born from this is an art that is expressed only in black and white.
As a Japanese person, Hiroike takes photographs that incorporate the spirit of ink painting. This does not mean simply converting to black and white; many of the photographs incorporate the flow of time through long exposure, expressing concepts such as "change," "impermanence," "pathy of things," "mysterious," "wabi," and "sabi."
