After this post from Priscilla Page, I've been exploring the works of Yamamoto Masao. His work is beautifully contemplative, likely due to his keen eye and printing process:

He blurs the border between painting and photography, by experimenting with printing surfaces. He dyes, tones (with tea), paints on, and tears his photographs. — Wikipedia

His website is a bit underwhelming in terms of showcasing his body of work but plenty of other sites and a simple Google Image Search unveil a massive amount of stunning images.
