About

TIALA. — short for Takahashi Hiroto Intimate Atelier of Landscape Aesthetics — is a poetic photography project founded by Japanese artist Hiroto Takahashi.

The atelier explores the intimate landscape — fragments of nature that often go unnoticed, yet quietly breathe within our everyday lives. Each photograph is a dialogue with light, silence, and time.

Rather than chasing grandeur, TIALA. seeks to reveal the beauty in the ordinary: the whisper of wind on petals, the reflection of dusk upon a window, the brief breath between seasons.

Every work is printed, signed, and archived as a single conversation between the artist and the moment — an act of preservation, and of listening.

Through tiala.art, these quiet dialogues are shared with the world, bridging cultures through the universal language of subtle beauty.

Statement
For me, photography is a vessel that speaks what my heart cannot say.
I wish to receive the quiet presence of nature as it reveals itself — unadorned, unaltered, and true.
Each press of the shutter is less a gesture of preserving, and more a whisper that says, “I found you.”

What I face is not the grandeur of sweeping landscapes,
but the intimate landscapes that lie hidden within the ordinary.
A thread of light grazing a branch,
a ripple trembling upon still water,
a fleeting trace of a season passing by —
within these unnoticed fragments, I believe silence and eternity reside.

To photograph is to acknowledge existence — simply, and with humility.
When I surrender to the chance of a moment,
a beauty beyond intention quietly appears.
By gathering these small miracles,
I hope to weave a silent dialogue between nature and the human heart.

If, through my work, someone pauses and thinks,
“Such beauty was always here, right beside me,”
then that is the reason I continue to photograph.

For me, photography is not an act of showing,
but a form of breathing —
a gentle way to leave behind the beauty
that I have met in this very moment.
