In November, I headed off to Japan for a couple of weeks, partly as a holiday but also incorporating a couple of nice commissions for Conran & Partners. Japan, for a long time now, has been a place I’ve been eager to visit. I can now say it’s a place I’m eager to return to (so if anyone wants to send me their on commission – give me a shout). Surprisingly to me, and I’m sure to those who knows me, I didn’t shoot that much architecture out there with the exception of the buildings I was sent to photograph. To be honest, I found that side of it a bit overwhelming and could easily have turned the entire trip into a grand architectural tour. I did try to get to Ando’s Church of the Light outside of Osaka, with photographic intentions, but it was closed the day I had free. Anyways, I concentrated on shooting handheld with my new Lumix GF1 and all the shots here were on that camera.

This post is all about the stills I shot, but I also did a lot of video work to. That’s to follow. In the meantime, this is what Japan looked like to me…
