teo crawford 霧中攝影師 東京街頭攝影：捕捉都市的靜謐之美

今天我帶你一起在市中心東京拍攝一部《早上的陽光》 讓我們看看我們能找到什麼 在日本,我住的地方在市中心西部 但幸運的是,我的航班直接連接東京站 這就是我們今天要去的地點 所以到達東京是很簡單的 雖然還要花很多時間 今天的計劃是在東京的區域拍攝 東京的區域非常廣闊 東京站和銀座的周圍都非常廣闊 東京的區域跟其他地方的區域的區域相比 所以我想在東京拍攝 今天是一個很好的早上 我乘搭的航班比較早 因為要避免太多人 我正在尋找7-11 當我抵達後,我想先找個地方吃早餐 但因為我還沒有吃早餐,我想先吃早餐 因為我還沒有吃早餐,所以至少要喝杯咖啡 因此,當然,我又在7-11找到了 我一般的早餐 換句話說,我這次沒有吃麵包 而是吃一份飯糰 一份那些米球 或者是三角形,我猜 我享受了一段時間在這裡吃早餐 然後就開始拍攝 當我走到樓梯,看到兩位來自左邊的人 我心想,我的第一張照片可能就在我面前 這是我的第一張照片,我喜歡 它不算特別或出色 但你知道,這是我的第一張照片 有點暖和,我猜 所以我覺得還好 我喜歡這裡的簡單,空間很開闊 這裡和那裡只有幾個單位 這讓照片看起來很乾淨 這隱不可人知的差別 閃光燈尚算無限 晚上,人們走過來的陰影 這樣就令每一個角落都充滿潛力 但我還是有點擔心 我能不能拍到我想拍到的 但是,當經過這條街 我就看到那盞亮的燈 我覺得真的會是有趣的照片 我可以等成人 Into Frame 這是結果 And I'm happy with this one I love the lighting and how the composition worked out With the bush on the right edge and the plain white wall on the left I also appreciate the sprinkles of colour created by the traffic cones The postbox and the bicycle Which all share a similar colour that stands out In the otherwise rather desaturated environment And finally, with just a little waiting I was able to add a person to the scene Which I find just adds some life to the otherwise quiet scene Then I wasn't sure where I wanted to go So I ended up walking a bit of a circle And ended up at the train station again Here, I did end up finding my next shot though This one is okay I like the scene with the pretty lighting And the mix of architecture and greens However, I'm missing a clear subject It feels a little pointless or aimless to me Oh, I think that was a bad shot Then I decided to simply walk around the station To get to the other side and see what I find on the way As I was passing some trees here I thought the last tree that was in the sunlight Could make for an interesting element within a composition here I'm very happy with this one The lighting is again just so beautiful with the long shadows I also appreciate the wavy raised bed on the left To fill the left side of the frame I think the tree works well as an element That fills that side of the frame While allowing that guy that is coming my way To be the main subject I'm not sure how you perceive this But to me, even though the tree is bigger in size and more present The man in the suit remains to be the main subject Simply because he's human and not a tree And I feel like we humans tend to be more focused on our own species Than a tree in a composition like this one Then I continued alongside the building And kept my eyes open for new composition It was here that this huge pillar caught my eyes Or more specifically the shade of the tree on it This is the result And I think this one turned out pretty cool So I was initially drawn to the pretty shapes on the pillar Created by the tree's shade However, instead of shooting exclusively them I decided to make them part of a wider composition And I think that worked out quite well I like how there are two people in frame Adding a sense of scale Which really shows how big the pillar is Also the fact that there is no sky visible here Seeing as the back is covered by more high-rise buildings Translates this intense feeling That central Tokyo can have in the photograph Central Tokyo can in some areas Be huge and just beyond anything that I'd consider humanly In the sense that we become more like tiny ants Rolling around in a giant labyrinth Anyway, I find the photo interesting, intense And yet so calmingly pretty It'll cost you life It's damp and dark too The river is wide And it gets ever colder Here, I was fond of the opening ahead Where the light comes in The result is alright I like the simplicity again However, I think I'd prefer to have all three subjects in the light Not just one This currently feels just a bit off Because my attention is drawn to the back Where the light is But there isn't really anything there Here, I was again fond of the shade from the tree As it hit the tiled wall This one turned out pretty cool, I think The lighting looks great on the tiled wall And I enjoy how there are two people in frame One on each side of the wall Next, I continued my walk And then spotted the two security officers Standing in front of this entrance to some building I was fond of their outfits I just thought they looked really cool And I imagined how cool would it be To take a proper street portrait of them And so, I went ahead and asked Excuse me Can I take a picture of you two? Of you two standing here No? Okay, I understand Excuse me Unfortunately, the elder Who I presume has the say Told me that I can't get their portrait It was interesting though It seemed to me that It's not that they didn't want me to take the picture More like they are not allowed To be distracted by me in this way or something As if it was part of their contract I'm not sure, but since then I haven't tried asking any officers like them again Because I assumed that I was an unnecessary distraction to them at work So, I don't know if I'll ever get a portrait of this kind Then, before we continue I want to take a moment to

walked on and eventually came to the opposite side Of the station Which I believe is the more well-known side That tourists pass by on the way to the Empress Palace Here I thought I could maybe shoot an interesting composition Of the people sitting around the tree With the wide open space of Tokyo Station behind Unfortunately, I think this one turned out rather boring It's not bad It's okay But also not really that interesting, I find Then I decided to try a composition That would simply include a wide range of buildings and people To simply picture the wide space of this side of Tokyo Station I think the result is okay I like the lighting and the composition But I don't really feel the shot yet If you know what I mean There's nothing wrong with it In fact, it's quite nice But also I'm not sure whether I particularly like it I then shot an alternative Because I spotted someone running across the space But that didn't really make it much better, I find Similar to the first two I think the next two around this area are all okay But nothing outstanding Maybe I'll like them once some time passes But for now, they're not all too interesting, I find Next I wanted to walk towards an area here That is close by Which I believe is the financial district of Tokyo Or at least it's the big corporate district With gigantic buildings It's not the typical area where I'd usually shoot But I wanted to give it a try and change things up a bit Here I thought it could be cool to play with the lines of the wall And the pillar and wait for someone to enter my frame Here's the result And I think this turned out all right It's a little bit underexposed With the shadows looking quite rough But still acceptable I think the play with the lines worked out nicely The photo is this streamline from top to bottom And luckily someone came in from the right To add a bit of life to the scene Maybe, but I'm not sure I should have waited for the person to be right in the center Between the pillar and the wall at the back Which might give off a more intentional impression Then right around the corner I was quite fond of the escalators here Mainly because of the bright light of them That made them stand out The result is actually pretty cool I find I love the lines of light that I was referring to And I enjoy the lively feel with people going up and down And people passing by in the back Something that intrigued me a couple weeks earlier Which in part is what inspired this shoot Was the stillness of the commuters in Tokyo I don't know how this is in the rest of Japan But in Austria I feel like the commute is more chaotic and noisy Whereas here in Tokyo it's impressively civilized and quiet Almost enjoyable in a way And so as I was crossing this road I tried to get a shot from the POV of a commuter basically I think this second one turned out quite alright Something I like is the lighting And how all the people are swarming into that direction Like it's the lights at the end of the tunnel or something I think this one might be my favorite Because it's closer to the light And I like how much closer the people on the left are to the camera Here I was intrigued by the giant building again As the people walking in looked so tiny Also I was fond of the potted flowers that went up the stairs It sort of looked like they were also heading to the building Then here as I came around the corner I spotted some interesting lighting on the building ahead And fortunately there was someone packing their bag there Which I thought could be the addition that I needed to the photograph This is the outcome And it's okay but really not anything particularly good I find The lighting is what drew me to the shot But now looking at it I think the composition is just not really there It's all a bit random As I was crossing the road here I spotted a beautiful bunch of flowers Which I thought could work really nicely as a part of the composition Here's the result And I really like this The composition worked out very nicely I find Half of the frame is simply covered in flowers And then in the upper half there are two pillars In between which there is an extra subject Someone walking through the frame Who are trying to get center framed in the composition The only thing I wish for Thinking that it would strongly improve the photograph Is more dynamic range As you can see the shot is exposed for the flowers But even those are close to blowing out due to overexposure And yet that space at the back is so dark That in the photo it's a little too dark and contrasty But still I like the shot Here I got an impulsive shot of the structure on the left As this guy was heading inside of it This is the result And due to the impulsiveness of the shot It is a bit underexposed but still fine Though I'm not sure how much I really like it in the first place It's not really doing it for me Next I was fond of these trees And how the people around here interacted with the place This is what I got It's again mildly underexposed but still okay I do like how there is that one person sitting within the bunch of trees But with the lack of lighting and such I'm not sure what to think of this photo It's a bit boring I find With that I felt like I had enough of the dense high rise building district And walked around the Empress Palace for a while But there too I didn't really find much that I thought would be worth shooting And so I was slowly heading to the train station close by From where I could catch the train that I needed I decided to leave the GoPro on though In case that I find something else to shoot Here I was fond of the trees But the photo again sadly turned out quite aimless looking Just not particularly interesting This too it's okay There's nothing wrong with it I like the space and how the people interact with it But it's all in the shade which looks a bit boring I find At this point I felt like I had maxed out my creativity for the morning Seeing as I wasn't feeling great about the shots I was getting On this street that was already quite close to the station I spotted a cute scene I just liked the look of the building on the other side And so I decided to try one more shot And wait for someone to pass through the scene This is the result and I'm happy with it Luckily I could finish this session on a good note I like the bright and summery feel of this shot And love all the details of the white buildings I suppose I could have waited just a second or two For a better position of the person passing through But this is also okay And that concludes this morning of photography It was really fun to be out and about in the area of Tokyo That I usually just pass by but never really spend some more time in I hope you had some fun joining me on this excursion Before saying goodbye I would like to say thank you To the lovely people supporting me and my work on Patreon Thank you so much to each one
