A working photographer’s life isn’t just about taking photos—it’s also emails, invoices, and endless editing. That’s why I cherish days like this: escaping Tokyo’s chaos, shooting with my friend Lee Chapman, and ending up in Jikokudani—Hell’s Valley in name, but heaven in spirit.

Yesterday, I decided to leave my Leica M10 at home and go for a walk with the Sigma FPL. Naturally, I brought along my beloved 35mm lens. I love shooting with the camera's color modes, particularly the Teal and Orange. Here are some moments I captured on the streets, turning ordinary scenes into extraordinary visuals through vibrant and dynamic colors.
