NAKED_Tokyo is a collection of 25 reportage street snapshots of both Tokyoites and tourists - all strangers - and without the BLIND_ brand mark, taken during my commissioned and personal trips to pre-pandemic Tokyo from 2016 to 2019. All the featured photos share a theme of utter candidity, ambient illumination, and color processing using Chromalicht_21_M, redsheepphotocinema’s signature and proprietary color grade featuring warm hues and tints, filmic tones and visible grain. Shot using a Leica M240 digital rangefinder and the usual array of Voigtlander primes unless otherwise specified.
Street photography NFTs dropped on OpenSea and Rarible, from the Collection “BLIND_” featuring 12 utterly candid & cinematic street photography ephemera x elsewherelse.
