On a visit to Japan last 2018, one of my most memorable times was shooting the Yasaka Pagoda. I stood in a narrow alley that led up to the pagoda, alongside many other photographers. It was, to say the least, a cluttered view. While most of the shooters only took a few snaps and left, I lingered because I had a plan in my head; I was envisioning something else. Even with all the people going in and out of my frame, at that very moment, I felt like I was the only one there, transported back in time. This was my vision kicking in. My mind’s eye saw a young woman wearing a traditional kimono walking in that empty alley. Even though it was impossible to shoot without any people in the frame, I was able to achieve this in post- processing. I consider this piece as one of those visions I realized exactly how I imagine it to be.
