Day 5 – to Asahikawa
We’re to spend the next couple of nights in Asahikawa, and boy does it snow properly there! By the time we arrive and get checked-in it’s getting dark, meaning another dinner before 6pm. A lot of things are closed so we’re a bit stuck for options at this point. We make the trek a couple…

Day 4 – Otaru daytrip
Now that we’re in Hokkaido-proper it’s quick to travel around. Otaru is practically an outer suburb to Sapporo, just under an hour away. I only took a few shots on the Delta 3200 but now I want to shoot colour, so I’ve loaded up the Velvia. I’ll re-load the Delta later and finish it off…

Day 3 – Sapporo food
Today is a take-it-easy sort of day, food and relaxation. Lots of food. And I bought some 7800 yen worth of film. The meat being grilled in the later photos is “Jingisukan” style – a rough lexical approximation to the name we know as Genghis Khan. Unexpectedly we got to meet up with Elena and…

Day 2 – Night lights in Sapporo
Took the trains all the way to Sapporo, the route has improved a lot since I was last here and it’s now a fair bit quicker, especially across the Tsugaru Strait from the mainland. Being winter and a fair bit further north, the sun is already weakening by 4pm and the snow hits us hard.…

Day 1 – Arrival in Tokyo
First time flying into Haneda, it’s pretty great. You miss out on the Come On And Slam, And Welcome To Japan at Narita, but sacrifices must be made. Adrian arrived yesterday, same flight one day earlier. Honestly it’s a bit of a rocky start as we’re all a bit on edge emotionally (couldn’t sleep on…

ANYA – Black dress
Totally unplanned! I was helping Adrian run a lighting workshop and Anya dropped by to keep company. Her outfit was too nice to pass up and the studio had some nice old windows to play with. Thanks also to Gabe and Alex for their help with the coloured lighting, it wasn’t my idea and it…

Hana – Fashion editorial
Hey, do you wanna come to this rented house shoot thing next week? Huh? Uhhh yeah sure, I’ll come help. Thus, a bunch of photographers have rented out a little house in Bondi Junction to share for shooting whatever we want. Hana makes a great model and she’s plenty versatile, so Kat’s asked her to…

Hana – Tattoo aesthetic
Hana’s recently had some tattoo work finished and it looks pretty sick. Adrian and Kat and I wandered around Darling Harbour with her to take some photos. Today is another film-only day. Superia Venus 800 in 135 format, it’s a bit chilly and slightly overcast but the film performs nicely enough. I’m still using my…

Auburn Sakura Matsuri – Sanzuri as Konngara
Every year around August, Auburn Botanic Gardens has a matsuri event for the sakura blossoming. It’s a popular event and it attracts a lot of visitors for the week-and-a-bit that it runs for. It’s undeniably quite pretty, but it’s madness to attend due to the size of the crowds, especially on weekends. Yet here I…

Himechin dance video
I came along to help Adrian shoot a dance cover video for Himechin, so we’re out at a nearby park this afternoon. Himechin’s finished video is here! https://youtu.be/yt6JogPYQnw
A little portfolio.
