Hiroshi Sugimoto“Lightning Fields”


I've always loved photography that takes us to the micro or macro world of natural 
phenomena. Sugimoto's lighting field stops time and shows us the micro world of static electricity.

To create each image, Hiroshi Sugimoto uses a Van De Graaff 400,000-volt generator to apply electrical charge directly onto film. The result in each case is a unique, instantaneous image of an electrical current.
