Hi there, I’m Thomas Alan, a Japan-based creative technologist and Photographer. I love the FujiFilm X-Series line of cameras and the Ricoh GR III series as well and shoot with both. I’m a editorial and commercial photographer, but mostly shoot documentary and street these days. Thanks for stopping by. —TA

Before I started shooting with Fuji X-Series cameras. This is a behind the scenes shot from 2010 reviewing images with graphic artist Rachel V. at a U21 magazine shoot in Okinawa.

Below are some of my favorite shots from the shoots I did over the years for Okinawa Living Magazine and some of the covers my images have appeared on.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
