Tokyo photojournalist
The magazine I edit, EURObiZ Japan, has been running a monthly column on Europeans working in Tokyo, and I’ve been taking the photos. These are the first five portraits.
There’s a lady who sells foie gras, two architects, a pattisier, a man who imports Dutch goods and a scuba diving instructor. (Thanks to our designer Paddy for the terrific photo selection and layouts)
The challenge each time is to find way to show the job in a single frame. Not sure I succeeded every time – but I’m trying. I usually shoot by myself with one or two off camera strobes and an umbrella.
I’ll post the next five or six later this year!

I like them all, the scuba diver one is very clever!

Hi Tony – which off camera strobes do you use? …any advice for getting the exposure just right for these type of shots?
Cheers
Keith
I use an SB-800 and an SB-600. Basic advice for indoors is to make the most of ambient light and bounce the strobes to soften them. I usually use them off-camera on stands.
