Nowness: Hideo Kojima

Jun 2025

Nowness profiles Hideo Kojima in a series of editorial portraits that explore the intersection of digital culture and personal expression. The project utilizes a variety of lighting techniques, moving between low-key chiaroscuro and sharp, high-contrast flash to capture the game creator’s aesthetic. Photographer Feng Li frames Kojima in both urban and suburban settings, incorporating experimental elements such as glowing wearable tech and surreal prosthetic details. These images, documented through editorial lenses, shift between moody, monochrome palettes and the natural, gritty textures of golden hour photography.
