Another piece from my earlier days, this was a scene which inspired me when I happened to come across on a train back home. This was before I took up photography.
I was sitting beside a man who was browsing through images he had just taken. I happened to catch sight of an image on his camera’s LCD screen and needless to say, I was mesmerised. The one he had was slightly different in the sense that it was taken when the sun had totally gone down, pitch black sky with lights from the buildings and the Tokyo Tower. I have the other version too if anyone is interested.
It was only 2 years later when I picked up photography that I managed to see it for myself. As you can imagine, this view was etched in my mind for that 2 years.
Hope you enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed capturing it!

This is another piece from 2 years back. The colourful lights reflected in the bay was captured by waiting for the exact right moment when the building lights changed into the correct combination of colours I was hoping for. The most difficult was green, as the lights did not have a definite pattern and all I could do was anticipate, and anticipate…
I recall seeing a photo of Moraine Lake in a magazine and have always wanted to photograph it myself. The images I saw were taken at midday so I thought of capturing it in a different light, literally.
I got up really early and got there in time, looking for the right spot. Clouds blocked the sunlight at first but my patience paid off when the rays shone through.
The peaceful reflections…I can never get tired of them.
For people who are wondering, no, this is not a HDR and I did not use any software processing to achieve this effect. Only filters are used in all my work and the same goes for this
I decided to post one of the first images from the earlier days of my photography. This was taken back in 2008 in Japan after getting my first entry-level dSLR. Looking back from now, I felt it was not as well taken and could be improved in so many ways…
I thought the human silhouettes at the base of the gate gave it a sense of scale and also created an interesting effect.
Gives me an urge to want to visit each prefecture once more…
