AbellвЂ™s photographs that, in his words, вЂњlink a still life to a landscapeвЂќ - are fine examples of photographic shakkei, and the pears in the window have influenced numerous photographers over the past four decades. The famous photograph of the pears in the windowsill of the National Hotel in Moscow, with Red Square visible in the distance is a perfect example. The first is probably obvious to you, if you follow my photographic circle already, but that is Sam Abell. There are many master photographers that are proficient at employing this technique, but two examples, each with very distinct styles, come to mind for me. The next two photographs are progressively more subtle, as each examines a subject from everyday life, and the scenery is quietly placed as a fragment of the overall frame. In the park view of Matsuyama Castle, this is a most basic and obvious example of borrowed scenery within a photograph. The mountain, graced by mist on this day, is not part of the garden, but it blends seamlessly with the garden design.

In the above example photographs, the Adachi Museum and Garden in Shimane Prefecture is a quintessential example of shakkei in gardening. I posit that photographs that use a back layer that is not directly connected with the foreground of a scene, but through the framing choices of the photographer, come to work together, are a form of shakkei. While the term originally refers to garden design, as a photographer I regularly incorporate this concept into my photography, and chances are, you do this, too. The idea is to incorporate the existing background landscape into the design of the garden, providing a back layer to the scene that seamlessly blends with the garden enclosure.
