The quietness of Japan

Japan is mostly known for it's technological advancements, amazing cuisine, samurai, and anime. All of which tend to be very flashy and loud. My aim for this series was to capture the true quiet nature of Japan and its people. A sunrise visit to a shrine in the ocean, the lone worker preparing for the busy day ahead, a little girl on her way to school, a boy on his way to baseball practice, and the fisherman on his way to earn another day's wage. For me, these images capture Japan more accurately than what is portrayed on television or what one may find all over Instagram. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed making them!
