How to apply Wabi-Sabi to your photography. | Japanese Philosophies For Photography.

Absolutely love this. A beautiful combination of history, philosophy, and photography. This is amazing.

"everything is fading..." captures how I feel when I take a photo. It won't be the same the next time I see it or photography it.

You have, at a young age, a great insight into the world and it’s ways. And you tell your stories in a beautiful way. I will be following you. For the photography part. And for listening to your story telling….

If photography had a sensei, Yukawa-san would be the first on the list!

Excellent. Humble and interesting words, no demonstration of any kind. Wabi-Sabi attitude goes straight to the point. I learned something i wish to practice now. Thank you. Nice photos by the way.

It is the "beuty" of understanding the videp written narrative amongst the imperfection while remembering that perfection is unknown in evanescent beings as ourselves.

My Wabi Sabi is my old Japanese film camera and BW film. I couldn't simply do it with digital. When I hear "lack and imperfection" it's film fro me. Digital would instantly put me into a paralysis of choice with all of the reach and fancy options it provides. Great video, thank you!

I really enjoyed your way of explaining the philosophical matter into something more tangible. Thank you!

Being a perfectionist I tend to pixel peep. I recently bought an affordable manual 50 mm f0.95 lens out of curiosity as to what kind of images I might achieve with it. I must say, as it’s optically far from perfect (vignetting, soft or blurry edges and corners, distortions, time consuming focusing), it has a special charm. It actually has me appreciating the imperfections, as they lets the images come alive, so to speak. I encourage you to try it out, it’s rewarding, as it slows you down to appreciate more the scene, boosts creativity and offers new perspectives.

Thank you for this. You've just inspired me to do a project with this mindset. Great work. Keep it up!

This video certainly had a very useful message. But, more than that , it was a true work of art. Beautiful and mournful. Verrrry artistically done. A breath of fresh air. Keep going. Thank you.

Another gem of a lesson. Brilliant. Your videos always make me stop and reflect. And take notes. Thank you 🙏🏽

This video resonates with me. Here in New Jersey one will find many abandoned structures. The rapid “progress” of “development” makes these structures stand out in my photography in light of the fact they will soon be history. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Toshiki, again, for making this video, and inspiring us to take a look to things in a different way!

Hi. Thrilled to stumble across your channel. It is refreshing to see a young man with such clear thinking, tackling the undoubtedly difficult terrain bridging Japanese philosophy and photography. I love your thinking and honest storytelling. Keep up the good work 👍 🙏

Anyone who wants to expand their mind must, even just once, visit Japan and engage with the people there. It will enrich your life...

Just discovered your channel. Love it. Your videos and pictures are very elegant. You have such a good taste and it's clear you can see beyond what it's happening in front of you, you are also kind of feeling it. This is much more about feeling than just technical tips. I often say this about dancing too. There is people who just learn the steps and they do it really well, but there are dancers who also feel the choreography and music inside and that's something you can tell when you see. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am going to be so happy to see you grow here on Youtube.

"especiarry, naturarry" ;) interesting explanation on your philosophy. thanks.

Such a nice piece of content, that is. Super enjoyable

Bravo Toshiki. Brilliant piece 🙏
