Hi there, I’m Thomas Alan, a Japan-based creative technologist and photographer. I use a variety of cameras, including the FujiFilm X-Series, Ricoh GR III, Nikon Zf, and most recently, the Leica D-Lux 8. While I worked as an editorial and commercial photographer in the past, these days I primarily focus on documentary, street, and snapshot photography. Thanks for stopping by! —TA
