Hiroshi Sugimoto is a Japanese photographer who was born February 23, 1948. He received his BFA in Fine Arts from the Art Center College of Art and Design. Sugimoto has built his name by using large format cameras along with long exposures to create his photographs. Much of his work involves museum exhibits and wax figures, though recently he utilized an artificial lightning generator to create images with electricity and film.
