Introducing Cinematic Reality, a short-film series highlighting my photography along with cinematic behind-the-scenes footage. I created this first episode from my month-long street photography trip to Japan back in mid-September to October 2023.

If you enjoyed this video, I’d love for you to check out my new digital zine “Street Notes Vol. 1: Japan” that complements this film.
Alongside high-resolution versions of all the photos featured in the film, Street Notes also includes ⬇

A breakdown of the camera, lens, and settings used for each shot
The neighborhood/location of each photo
Behind-the-scenes insights, thoughts on the creative process, or context on specific photos, neighborhoods, or themes
Some bonus unseen photos not included in this film, alternate angles, or contact sheets

Think of it as the director’s cut—a deeper dive into Cinematic Reality: Japan.
