Last run of prints before the end of the year. Captured over two trips to Japan in 2023, mostly around Naoshima Island and a little around Kyoto. Fine art Giclée prints with hand made Victorian ash box frames. Print only or Print & Frame, flick me a message for sizes and more details. Limited run, small numbers. Thanks for looking 🤝🏻 #japan #nippon #naoshima #kyoto

Naoshima Island. A highlight of our recent Japan trip by far.. we hired e-bikes and explored the landscape, architecture and museums for a day. Captured on my old EOS 5 film camera with a nifty fifty. #naoshima #japan #film #eos5 #architecture

Umimirai Library, Kanazawa. A quiet study in repetition, light and structure. Ongoing personal work from Japan. Excited to be back in a couple of weeks for commissioned work. #portra400 #pentax67 #film #japan

Shibuya apartment, Tokyo. Working through a backlog of shoots and finally getting this one out. Captured in September 2025 on one of the hottest days I’ve experienced in Tokyo. After a reset, a lot of water, and a slower pace, I spent the afternoon documenting the space alongside the owners and architect. A calm, considered apartment shaped by its geometry and materiality. Shot across both film and digital. Back shooting in Tokyo late May, pumped as hell. Architect: @hiroyukitanakaarchitects Project team: Hiroyuki TANAKA, @kazuki___ishiyama Construction: @tank.jp Area: 71.25sqm

Analogue studies of the Kyoto International Conference Center from earlier in June. Designed by Japanese architect Sachio Otani, 1966. Considering a small run of large-format prints for Christmas, probably too late now though...however feel free to contact me and I’ll see if I can rush order one through. Would look hot framed 🤌🏻 #ArchitecturalPhotography #FilmPhotography #Japan #Brutalism #Mediumformat

Hand holding the Pentax 6x7 at the Meiji Jingu Meuseum with a pram, an unsettled son and a super patient fiancé is fun.

I spent an evening the day after arriving back from Japan with Robbie Walker shooting his personal home in Mansfield. It was a push, I was crook, but it was so worth it. Off-grid and quietly confident. Raw materials, refined detailing, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. This space is ace and Robbie is an all round top bloke with a fine taste in classic vehicles too (Land Rovers). cc: @robbiejwalker
