I consider Sean Lotman the best color street photographer in Japan (if not, my personal favorite contemporary street photographer). He just published “Sunlanders” — like looking at Japan through acid or LSD.
Sean shoots all color slide film (then cross-processes the photos by himself in his own color darkroom at home). Not only that, but he prints, dodges, and burns all his work — that is how he gets hi psychedelic colors in his photos.
I’m currently teaching a 2-day Kyoto Composition Workshop with him and Junku Nishimura. Above is the lecture that Sean gave on composition during the workshop. Hope you enjoy!
