city nights
ストリートフォトグラフィー
夜になると、街はまったく違う表情を見せます。
私は10代の頃から、ネオンが灯る路地裏や雨に濡れた街並み、人々が素の姿を見せる夜の空気に強く惹かれてきました。その魅力に夢中になり、いつしか「Downtown」というニックネームで呼ばれるようになりました。
City Nights は、東京だけでなく、サイゴン、香港、台北など世界各地の都市で撮影した夜のストリートフォトグラフィーシリーズです。ネオン、光、雨、そして都市に生きる人々の一瞬を、私自身の視点で切り取っています。
このギャラリーに掲載されている作品は、すべて私が制作した Nihon Nights と Nihon Classics Lightroom プリセットを使用して編集しています。プリセットはオンラインショップからご購入いただけます。
また、私と一緒に夜の街を撮影したい方のために、東京でマンツーマンのストリートフォトワークショップや少人数制フォトツアーも開催しています。詳細はワークショップページをご覧ください。
