Spent a Sunday afternoon in Northern Tokyo to do some street photography with my Fujifilm X-T5.

For me, another very interesting, precisely filmed video, both the moving scenes and the moments captured in photos. Your black and white photos are always a feast for my eyes! The wait in the small alleys for people to come into the picture was definitely worth it! For me, your films are an exciting visual experience – almost like small feature films or, better yet, documentaries.
I really enjoy following you. There are many scenes that I watch over and over again to get a closer look.
For example, the scene with the magazine – 5:40 – as it lies there, the wind moves its sides, like a “personified thing” that wants to tell us something about the past. We're supposed to look inside, the wind moves the sides backwards ;-). A wonderful “quiet,” meaningful scene that I almost wished had lasted a little longer.
The colored moving images with the highly brilliant black and white photos in between – a very nice, aesthetic combination! Also the photos from the festival at the end – very interesting insights.
One question, that beautiful, photogenic cat at the beginning of the video (approx. 0:22) – did you also capture it as a black and white photo? In my opinion it was so appropriate as a black and white motif.
Kind regards and have a nice day – but at this moment, as I write, it is already evening in Japan and so I can wish you a good night ;-).
Great video! Also love that denim jacket…looks cozy for fall/spring shooting.
Super inspiring video, thanks for sharing these beautiful photos and videos. I have such trouble trying to find these wider scenes/streets to film establishing shots, but you have a real knack for it. Hope to see more! Do you do much in terms of color grading your videos, or do you get it right with the Fuji sims in-camera?
Hey! I really want to start editing videos, do you have any tips and recommendations since im also using the xt-5.
Specifically, how were you able to change the aspect ratio during the video? 😮😮
Thank you!!
