Download Resume

Hiroyo Kaneko produces large-scale pictures of people within the weft of their daily lives, as well as 35mm photographs portraying fragmented landscapes. Her photography draws attention to how the different ingredients of the material world – light, shadow, architecture, nature, human life – work together to form a visual whole. Kaneko’s integrative works conceptually and literally reveal the visual richness and complexity of our society’s everyday life.

Hiroyo Kaneko was born in Aomori, Japan. She received her B.A. in French Literature from the Meiji Gakuin University in Tokyo, and went on to earn an M.F.A. in Photography from the San Francisco Art Institute. She lives and works in San Francisco.
