This is a portrait photography tour through Japanese townscapes, using both modern and vintage lenses to match the background, light, and atmosphere of each location.

Vintage lenses are older lenses, often originally made for film cameras, and are known for their soft rendering, unique glow, and nostalgic character that modern lenses cannot easily replicate. Modern lenses, on the other hand, offer sharpness and clarity, bringing out facial expressions and fine details beautifully.

Rather than switching lenses repeatedly at the same spot, the most suitable lens is selected for each scene in order to preserve the mood and character of the location. By making the most of each lens in the right setting, this tour creates portraits that feel natural, expressive, and visually distinctive.

About Retouching

Retouching is done with a focus on enhancing the skin while preserving each person's natural look and atmosphere. The overall finish is kept soft and natural, without excessive editing.

Please note that removing people or skin correction is not included. If you prefer a film-like mood, adjustments such as added grain or noise can also be applied in post-processing.

* Delivered images will be balanced as evenly as possible between vintage-lens and modern-lens shots. However, depending on the shooting conditions and the overall balance of the final selection, the proportion of images taken with modern lenses may be slightly higher.
