H2: How To See, Ep2: Tokyo

Runtime 2h35m

Travel vicariously into the photographic wonderland that is Tokyo. Building on Episode 1 filmed in Kuala Lumpur, we travel to Tokyo with a completely different equipment loadout with the intention of making unique images of a place that is no stranger to being photographed. Once again, I explain what's catching my attention in a particular location, and why I chose that particular framing and processing. I explain afterwards why a particular image works - or doesn't. This video is unique in that all of the segments are filmed in one take: we can't reset the scene and try again. What you're seeing is really and exactly what I was seeing at the time of shooting. Episode 3, 4 and 5 will be filmed in Melbourne, Havana and London respectively throughout 2014.
