Shooting it: Using Profoto B1 in Nakatsu

Shooting it: Stroboscopic manual shoot

Shooting it: Photoshoot in the Rain

Since typhoon is happening again in Japan now, time to write this article that I've been canceling for long time already, it is a photoshoot in the hard rain and wind form last year, a really extreme one, but that feeling is what makes us pleased after it is finished! We were I guess too crazy to shoot in the seaside, while the typhoon was actually happening!

Shooting it: Beast in Me

One of the fun things for me to do since I started photography a few years ago is to just get my gear, go out in the middle of the night, and shoot myself... alone in weird situations! Well, here is another shot from this series! And to make it clear, it has nothing to do with Halloween, just coincidence to upload it at the same time!
