Roaming the bustling streets of Shibuya and Shinjuku with my camera in hand, I spent a month traveling through Japan, searching for the perfect scene to capture. It was a dry month, but one particularly rainy night proved to be a highlight of my trip.
As the rain poured down, drenching me and my equipment, I couldn't resist the urge to snap photo after photo. It was a frenzy reminiscent of my first trip to the same location 10 years prior, but this time with better gear and a deeper understanding of the environment.
Upon my return to Montreal, I set to work mixing my visuals with a track by Japanese hip hop pioneer DJKRUSH. Using Lightroom to develop the images and After Effects to add glitches, pixel sorting, and animated UI layers, I had a blast bringing my Japanese adventure to life. I hope you enjoy the result of my efforts.;
