Michael Kenna (British, b. 1953) 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 particularly well known for the intimate scale of his photography and his meticulous personal printing style. He works in traditional, non-digital, silver gelatin photography. During Kenna’s forty-eight-year career, his photographs have been shown in over four hundred and fifty one-person gallery and museum exhibitions throughout the world and are included in over a hundred permanent institutional collections. Seventy-five monographs and exhibition catalogs have been published on Kenna’s work.
