Japanese Photographer Documents The Beauty Of Everyday Life In Japan

559

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Takashi Yasui, I’m 35 years old, and live in Osaka, Japan. Basically, I take photos in Kyoto so I call myself a “Kyoto Photographer,” documenting the everyday life and Japanese culture. About five years ago, when my niece was born, I started taking family photos; that’s how I started my professional photographer career.

About 4 years ago I installed Instagram on my iPhone and began to follow photographers from all over the world. Their cool photos had a big impact on me: I met a lot of Instagrammers in Japan, leaned about street photography, how to shoot, how to edit, how to find a location, composition, perspective, and things like that. Recently, I met few talented photographers from the US, Canada, and France, and was exposed to their interesting photos. It really helped me to grow as a photographer. Now, photography is more than a pleasure, it is a passion for me.

I’m shooting with Fujifilm X-T10, X-M1 with XF14mmF2.8 R, XF35mmF1.4 R. Editing with Lightroom, using VSCO film presets.

    Beautiful photos... for the record most Japanese people don't wear kimonos in everyday life, as these pictures seem to portray. I wish they did though!

    These are gorgeous photoes, but honestly, they don't look like the everyday life in Japan. They look more like tourists' photo sites to me... I mean... Japanese people don't live in temples or wear kimonos every day...

    Some Japanese people do live in temples and wear kimono everyday. Most do not. The side of Japan that is everyday is not so photogenic.
