Casual Transcendence: Takeshi Suga's "Sakuramadelica"

Under normal circumstances, a photographer documenting trees wouldn't exactly quicken our pulse. Though we feel we're achieving some form of weightlessness just gazing at Takeshi Suga's latest work, Sakuramadelica 2012. 

In an age of over-Instagramming, Suga's images of Sakura (or, cherry blossoms) teeter dangerously close to the iPhone aesthetic. It's the perspective--almost as if the camera was affixed to a hummingbird--that helps the work reach its otherworldliness.

Below are some of our favorite Sakuramadelica selects. And for those inspired by Suga's simple (though nonetheless beautiful) technique, hone your own in one or two of our photo classes this summer.

Here you are:
