鈴木理策，1963年生于日本的和歌山县，1987年毕业于东京综合写真专门学校摄影研究专业，2000年获得第25回木村伊兵卫写真赏，2008年获得日本写真协会年度赏。他现居东京。这些作品选自他2006年在美国纽约Yoshii画廊的展览“鈴木理策：樱花”。

日本每年早春的“樱花祭“源于公元8世纪的嵯峨天皇时代，给了日本历代艺术家许多灵感。冬天离去，樱花散落，象征着希望和力量，但在花瓣零落的同时 也警示人们美丽易碎、韶华易逝。鈴木理策以连拍的方式记录下这些如画的景象，并唤起了人们对逝去的时光的感伤情绪。摄影师在捕捉这些画面的时候没有刻意去 构图，也没有逻辑性的叙述，所有的符号都是自然架构而成，观者于是有了身临其境的体验。

摄影师故意将背景舍弃，而是将焦点放在了盛开的樱花和天空的关系上，让作品充满了轻盈的空气的味道。当人们在观看这些作品的时候，自然就将个人体验 与画面中的花朵、枝桠、天空结合在一起。因为有了个人的视角，从而产生完全个人化的解读，并有幸慢慢去体味繁花凋落、生命流逝的这一瞬间——将”伤感的情 绪延长“也就成了鈴木理策这个系列的终极诉求。
