Artist Statement - Yuichi
Takasaka
My love of colours in nature led
me to my love affair with the Aurora Borealis. I
first saw these strange Lights in Jasper, Alberta in the
spring of 1990 and photographed them. Later I
discovered that these strange “Lights” were the Aurora
Borealis.
After
moving to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories, I
soon found that this area is one of the best places in
the world to observe the Aurora Borealis. I did a
lot of experimenting trying to photograph the Lights at
night, while working at a tour company during the day
promoting the Lights to the Japanese market.
These
Lights became a part of my life. I left
Yellowknife after living there for 7 years; however I
still go back to lead many photography tours every year
in order to photograph yet another variation of the
Lights.
