Shunsuke Iwata’s images are bright and cheery. His happiness radiates from his stylized work, like a refreshing drink on a very hot day.

His portfolio is divided into varying themes of portraits and landscapes. However, it does get repetitive after a while. Nevertheless, it’s a good way to start the day with a […]

Toshihiro Oshima is like a flickr celebrity with his own fan base. As with most flickr accounts, it takes some clicking to unearth some gems from the amount of images posted. I found this series of landscapes taken using a Holga from his portfolio to be the more interesting images.
