Eating, eating and more eating before I leave. This was shot at the ‘Holy Cafe’ in Daikanyama, Tokyo. Really nice all concrete interior which only the Japanese know how to pull off properly. Leica M7, Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Fuji Pro 800Z film.

A meal in the attic
I have so much personal work to blog! These past couple of weeks we’ve been going around cool cafes and restaurants spending our time hanging out, meeting friends and shopping. I’m really going to miss places like this, there are so many hidden treasures around Tokyo, hidden in seedy looking buildings on the eighth floor...
Light lights and more lights
Ok, I love this photo way too much to not post it straight away. As soon as I got recent scans back this one immediately jumped out. Leica M7, Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Fuji Pro 800Z film.
Christmas in Tokyo
A few photos from Christmas. These were taken in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Every Christmas they put up a great light display which makes for some insane bokeh! Leica M7, Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Fuji Pro 800Z film.
How can I not miss kids like this
I have a couple of blog posts to put up of some of the kids I taught here in Tokyo. It’s going to be impossible to not miss these little guys, some of them I will probably remember for the rest of my life. Leica M7, Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Fuji Natura 1600 film, Fuji...
Portrait Session | Viviane
A couple of days ago I had the chance to photograph our friend Viviane. She’s from Taiwan and is living here in Tokyo studying art. She’s also interested in photography and you can check out her site HERE. I’m waiting on developing the medium format roll shot on the Hasselblad until I get back to...
Japanese Food You Will Be Missed
I guess I’ll continue the list of things that I will miss about Japan. The food has to be at the top of the list, although most portions are minuscule in comparison to New Zealand the experience of eating in a nice restaurant is always amazing. This photo was taken in Ginza where you can...
ATTENTION TO DETAILS
There are a lot of things I’m going to miss about Tokyo when I leave. It always amazes me to see Japanese women going through the effort of wearing a kimono solely for the purpose of going to the park… I think I’m really going to miss the fact that Japanese people really care about...
layers layers layers
This is another example of a happy accident on film. I shot over and over on the last frame of the roll I was using, it looks like a Photoshop collage but it’s just multiple photos shot on top of each other. This one worked out really well and I love the textures of the...
finish with a bang
So here is the final post from this portrait session, to me these photos are the icing on the cake. The portraits in this post are some of my favourites. The first three were shot underneath a tree in the shade and the colours came out just as I saw them. I probably sound like...
