Happy Valentine’s Day! Here are some of my absolute favourite captures of moments of love. Especially the first one that was taken at the height of covid. The couple kissing even with their masks on really proves that love will triumph all. #leicam10 #leicam10p #leica #leicam6 #leicafilm #leicafilmfriday #leicacamera #ライカ #ライカm10 #Noctilux #leicaworld #LeicaPhoto #ThroughYourLeica #myleicajournrey #streetphotographer #myleicaphoto #streetphotography #leicaphotography #leicajapan #leicaworld #ストリートスナップ #スナップ写真 #スナップショット #写真好き #写真撮ってる人と繋がりたい #スナップ写真

Just a little reintroduction to myself and the work I’ve been building over the past decade. Hi 👋 I’m Avi, a photographer and creative based in Tokyo. What started as casually carrying a camera everywhere slowly turned into a career. Somewhere between street corners, quiet train rides, neon nights, and winter landscapes, photography became more than images. It became a way of seeing and self expression for me. I’m drawn to cinematic moments in everyday life. The unscripted, the in-between, the subtle gestures that most people walk past. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of working with Leica, exhibiting internationally, teaching workshops, and sharing what I’ve learned about seeing and not just shooting. If my work does anything, I hope it reminds you that your life is worth watching too. Beauty isn’t somewhere far away, it’s in the people you already have, and the moments you’re already living. If my photos can give you one gift, I hope it’s permission to romanticize your own life: the ordinary days, the small scenes, the quiet in-between moments. Because this is your film, and it’s more beautiful than you think. Grateful for everyone who’s been here since day one and welcome to those who’ve just arrived. P.S. Many of my photographs are available as prints, and I’ll be sharing more about upcoming exhibitions and workshops soon. #photography #streetphotography #leica

I can no longer say i have never seen snow fall. Snow fall and street photography really looks like a fantasy. #leica #leicam #leicam10p #noctilux #sapporo #japan #snow #snowfall #hokkaido #city #street #streetphotography #streetphotographer

Photo Exhibition: Noctilux Into the Lightfall ⁣ ⁣ This exhibition brings together five local photographers — Avi Yap, Joanna Kwa, Serene Teo, Trevor Teo, and Eric Wong — each sharing their unique vision through a shared way of seeing, where light, shadow, and emotion shape the story.⁣ ⁣ Step into their cinematic worlds and local stories, where every frame transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Celebrating 60 years of the legendary Noctilux-M, its ultra-wide aperture and signature bokeh add depth and atmosphere, allowing subjects to stand out while their surroundings remain an essential part of the story.⁣ ⁣ 📍 On display at #LeicaSBQ until 4 March 2026⁣ ⁣ #LeicaCamera #LeicaSG
