I thought it’d be a fun excersise to pick out the 10 best or most memorable photos I’ve taken so far since getting my first camera in 2015. I did a similar list a few years ago, and the idea was to see if the list had changed and what I’d learned...

One semi frequent question I get on Instagram AMAs is, can you take good street photos on a mobile phone? The answer to this depends on a few factors. Phones aren’t ideal for photography if compared head on to a dedicated camera, but you can still do well...

End of year is a great time to look back and reflect. Last year, I wrote an article about all the things I learned about photography in 2018, and while it got me banned on Reddit’s r/photography for self promotion, it was well received in general. It’s now...

I’ve just made a “video essay” version of this blog post, so if you’d prefer to watch instead, here’s the video. Or if not, continue reading below. Street photographers are a bunch of weirdos. We roam the streets with a camera, pointing...

I want to ramble a bit about the current state of Instagram, because I’ve been having these conversations recently with friends and myself inside my head. I’ve been trying to find the right balance between posting stuff that is true to myself, and good...

Dubai gets shrouded in fog a few times each year, and this September I was lucky enough to be at the right be at the right time. Usually, the dubai fog comes much later in the year, so I consider myself really lucky for catching these moments. The last time I’d...

If I could only take pictures in one city for the rest of my life, it would be Tokyo. It’s one of the most photogenic cities in the world, but not only that – it’s also so massive that I still haven’t explored nearly every neighborhood, despite...

Osaka is one of my favorite cities in the world when it comes to photography (and maybe food). Especially the Dotonbori area, which this post will focus on. It’s also worth walking down to Namba, or really anywhere within 5 kilometers of the area – it will...

Or should I say Geiko? This post will feature a gallery of some street photography I did in Kyoto on a relatively rare snowy winter day. I traveled to Kyoto from my base in Osaka 3 times in total, the first 2 days I mostly failed to get any shots as most of my time...

I always wanted to shoot Japan during the winter when it was snowing. Earlier this year, I got the chance as I headed to Sapporo – the biggest city in Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island. This city is seriously underrated for street photography –...
