yea exactly – i met a photographer named Saki in Tokyo and shared with her about the Small Victories show we had just done in Hong Kong and she immediately pointed me to Ume’s work
Amazing, i’m in love with these pictures, the best photo’s i’ve ever seen! The business man and the kid #10 says more than 1000 words could describe about japan. Kids can have fun and play around, but once they grow up they’re in the most stressfull and hard-working place they can be. The last one is so iconic as well, keeping to themselves while someone is sleeping on the floor of the metro/train. If you ever go to Japan you’ll notice how japanese people can sleep everywhere. Awesome find Jeff & Saki.
hahaha hilarious!
i love these, they truely capture the essence of asian culture, i’m not asian but living in Hong Kong i have seen/experienced almost all of this.
Thanks to Saki for introducing me to Ume’s work!

yes totally agreee the shot of the kid and the business man is an amazing capture and represents so much of the culture there
Its nice to see some humor injected into photography.
Great documentation of how not so serious life can be sometimes.
The power stance is epic in #4!
