The Samurai series burst onto the scene in January 2017, inspired by the incredible display of Samurai armor at the Frist Museum in Nashville! I immersed myself in this fascinating exhibition for three whole days, capturing stunning images that go beyond mere documentation. My mission was to honor legendary warrior class that rose to power in the 12th century and ruled Japan until 1868. By blurring the images, I focused on the powerful essence of these remarkable warriors, emphasizing the vibrant colors, tones, compositions, and the indomitable spirit of these elite fighters!  EB
