Keiko Goto
PHOTOGRAPHER
Contact Keiko
Keiko was brought up with The Snowy Mountain Scheme’s project in Tumut (1970) in the multicultural community in rural Australia, as well as living abroad in Japan, UK, and Russia, hence a vibrant international background characterising her love of nature and people living on the land. This is where her interest lies – ordinary people living in the outback, remote lands, rural regions around the world with their lifestyle encompassing the character of the land.
The artistic B&W photographs are shot on film mainly using Leica IIIb (1938) and printed to archival silver gelatin prints in a darkroom by Keiko herself. The beauty of the monochrome world enhanced by the added character of the piece by piece hand printed fibre prints is timeless. Apart from her very successful silver gelatine exhibition “Zen in 35mm” at Tacit Galleries (Melbourne,2018), she has also started to use larger format camera (8×10 and 5×7) and printing using alternative methods like platinum/palladium prints, cyanotype prints since 2017.
Keiko has exhibited in Japan, Australia China and Russia. Her works are in private collections in USA, UK, Australia, China and Japan and her photographs are used in corporate/institution websites, businesses and council publications.
