Short- and long-term projects have recently become the focus of all my work. Prior to immersing myself in this creative path, I felt lost in my photography and didn’t know what to shoot. The purpose of this project was to experience Tokyo while avoiding tourists, allowing me to fully engage with the individuals who live in the city. Many factors went into considering what I wanted this project to be, how I would create it, and what the final result would look like. If you’d like to take a deeper dive into all of that and more, my first digital zine — outlining the process along with 100 images — will be available soon.
