ShootFukushima
I have finished my ShootFukushima project last week. If you haven't gotten a chance to check it out please do. It comprised of 9 posts of the trip.
I spent 3 days in Fukushima trying to capture of beauty of this part of Japan. This region has suffered a lot since the Magnitude 9.0 earthquake of 2011 triggered a tsunami that killed 16,000+ people and triggered a nuclear disaster and I wanted to share a bit of the daily life that still goes on here.
As a photographer is it really good to work on projects sometimes. I haven't done this in a while so it was nice to get the chance to get out and work really hard on one project. I have summarized my project with a video:
Here was the ShootFukushima journey:
NHK (Japan's largest broadcaster) aired a special in Fukushima on my trip and project. It starts about at about 8:40 in this video.
