Takao Ikejiri was born in Japan. When he was 14 years old, he received his first camera. Takao studied photography in Tokyo and was inspired by artists such as Irving Penn and Akira Kurosawa. After moving to New York, he focused mainly on still life. His portfolio is interesting, the photographs are crisp, tidy and genuine.
Being a Virgo some of the characteristics come through to his photographs, particularly being perfectionist and happy workaholic. In addition, not afraid to experiment with special occasions. Another thing that he enjoys to do is to take care of his catfish and goldfish. Goethe, Takao’s favorite writer, sums up Takao’s philosophy and love of art in there few lines from Faust I: ‘When you don’t feel, you will grasp by art, Unless it swells out of your soul, And with sheer pleasure takes control, Compelling every audience’s heart.”
