Gaijin

A tourist’s brief urban fever dream of Japan

A street photographer’s first visit to Japan

This homage to Japanese street photo zines reframes the photo holiday as a concentrated, sequenced work—an object shaped through editing rather than accumulation. Black-and-white images move between beauty, chaos, and unease in Japan’s cities.

Atmosphere, gesture, and street fashion converge on densely layered streets, while constructed glances and recurring visual elements create tension and continuity across facing pages.

Rather than offering souvenirs or snapshots, Gaijin asks for time. Meaning emerges through sequence, repetition, and return.
