Listening to Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen: Good Time

See all the people we photographed at the Bunka Fashion College Bunkasai 2012 (Culture Festival)

Inspired by the stunningly creative street fashion that exploded on the streets of Tokyo and Osaka in the late 1990’s, photo-journalist Kjeld Duits launched JAPANESE STREETS in 2002. This makes JS one of the first fashion blogs on the net, and the very first to cover Japanese street fashion.

Her smile is just so lovely, and she’s like a bright splash of colour while standing there with all the other people dressed in grey in the background. I love these shots!

@Jenni & MissMolly: Yui is a lot of fun as you can see from these shots. I think her choice of clothing reflects her personality really well.

@Nyurah: Thank you. I had Yui jump a few times in a row to get a shot I was satisfied with. ^_-

@Kjeld: I’ve tried to take photos of jumping people too before, and it’s really difficult to catch them the right moment, so I’m always impressed when I see ones that came out so nicely^^

@Nyurah: It helps to have a camera with manual settings that also can shoot continuously at 9 frames per second. ^_- I set it at shutter speeds of 1/200th or faster and start shooting before I see the right moment (to overcome the brief delay between what you see, your finger pushing the button and the camera recording it).

@Kjeld: Well, my camera is not really that great and it doesn’t have so many manuel adjustments, but if I borrow my friends camera, I’ll try it :) Thank you!
