Thought I would kick off a little series of monochromatic Monday’s where I’ll post a black and white image at the start of every week. Here’s a cool black and white of the other half of St Clair Photography, enjoy. Hasselblad 500 CM, Zeiss Planar T* 80mm f/2.8, Ilford Delta 3200 film.

Nippon

While I’m back in New Zealand the other half of St Clair Photography is still in Tokyo for a few more weeks. Eiko has been shooting friends in and around Tokyo, I absolutely love this photograph. It’s nice to see a fresh perspective that differs from my own, where I would probably focus on the subject here she has focused on the background which I think has made the photograph a lot stronger. This was taken on a Ricoh GR1-s which we picked up about a month ago. It’s a little 35mm film camera and the lens is razor sharp. Ricoh GR1-s, Ilford XP2 Super 400 film.

Holy Cafe

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 or down a creepy alley. I’m really going to miss exploring. These were shot in nearly pitch black lighting at Attic Room in Shibuya, Tokyo. Leica M7, Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1, Fuji Pro 800Z film.

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.

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 Frontier scan.
