Deep into the Night
Recently, I had the chance to work with Samuel L. Streetlife on a video during which we shot around Ueno station one rainy evening in Tokyo.

Read MoreStreet Photography YouTube Channel Update
For the past couple months I’ve been working along with the some friends to create a series of videos which are meant to be a sort of tutorial into my style of photography. Currently, they focus on street photography, but we will cover more topics soon!
The videos demonstrate the creative process and technical details of various photos that I’ve taken around Tokyo. Also, they should provide a glimpse into our teaching style at EYExplore, which should be useful for those of you who are interested in joining a workshop.
But the main purpose of this YouTube channel is to get photographers thinking outside the box, or at the very least, differently than they usually do, about their photography. My goal is to spur your creativity and provide you with ideas for ways to shoot that you may not have come across before. Think of these street photography tutorial videos as prompts for getting you out there and challenging your eye!

Finally, we have expanded to our first overseas location in London. How exciting!
