Cine: Japan | Street Photography from Tokyo, Kyoto to Osaka

All photos edited with my Preset Pack: erenjam.com/shop/cinematic
Ahead of my trip to Japan this year I decided to pull together the footage from my previous trip to Japan to put together this cinematic piece. The video was filmed on the X-T3 while the photos were taken on an X-Pro2.
Locations from this episode include Ise Mei, Wakayama, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Fukushima, Izu, Mt. Fuji and Nagoya.
Most of the photos in this episode are present in my first photography book, Across Japan, (link below).

[@illkoncept]

Probably my favorite film of yours to date dude. I really enjoyed the slower pacing, the atmospheric/ambient music, and of course the superb cinematic footage and photographs. I hope these kind of videos can find the reach and love they deserve on TH-cam. This is true art.

[@erenjam]

Huge thanks for the support Mike! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 blown away by your episode looking forward to watching the latest!

[@85timng]

Probably one of the best films I've seen on youtube in a while. I hope to see more of this style of film 👍👍👍

[@peterjonkero]

My favorite so far, beautiful scenes!! The slower pace with music selection is just perfect

[@jmrbstreetphotography]

Outstanding! I love this vidéo. Great composition. The still shots are superb. You have put a fantastic selection together.
You are the best of the "trio" 😉

[@senior_ranger]

I've seen thousands of Japan videos. Never saw one as expressive and beautiful as this!

[@josephlai1078]

Great movie and excellent choice of musical score.

[@roxanac7707]

I don't normally watch non-educational videos, let alone comment on them...but this one really moved me! The frames, the grading, the editing and music...spectacular! I was a fan of your photography anyway, and now I'm in awe of your videography skills. Thank you!

[@erenjam]

🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@worapoltraitonwong2594]

excellent work, dear Eren. Editing, music and the whole atmosphere of Japan comes across wonderfully. I really enjoyed the video and your photos. Not having a moderator was a wise decision. Thank you 👍

[@JimBoultonisawesome]

This has to be the most beautiful video I have ever seen here on TH-cam. Your colour palette, your pacing, your overall visuals are incredible! Thank you for sharing and I will check out your other videos soon.

[@erenjam]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@edbradstreet3619]

Bravo Sir! The editing of your cinematic views, while adding the occasional stills were visually inspiring. Plus, your choice of the subtle background music, gave the world a beautiful travelogue of your visit to Japan. Thank you.

[@erenjam]

Thank you!! 🙏🏼

[@rogerbrooksfilms]

There is a lot of great photographic and cinematic content on TH-cam, however every now and then one video engages and inspires you more than most.
This one is THAT video.
The ambience, the soundtrack, the grading, the way that the images are presented alongside others… wow!
Thank you, Eren for your dedication to this art form, and for sharing your work. ✌️

[@erenjam]

Really appreciate the support Roger 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ablinkingidiot]

Beautiful video, Eren! 🙌🏽

[@user-fj9ir6ct6o]

Beautiful video on Japan. After 4 years living here, the best one i have ever watched so far on Tokyo. Just discovering your channel, impatient to watch your videos on Fujifilm, for which you would be a great ambassador for the brand. Congrats!

[@oc2phish07]

Wow! That was terrific. I think I agree with other comments here, this was probably your best work. I like your stuff a lot, especially as I live in London and find your street photography here also very good indeed, but this was outstanding.

[@tobiasfaucette]

Nothing short of beautiful man! Having your Across Japan book this is such a great companion to that, they compliment each other very well, and of course just nice seeing some more of the journey itself in a different way. This one and London in fog are by far my favourite videos of yours Eren, can't wait to see what comes out of your next trip!

[@erenjam]

Huge thanks Tobias! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Still waiting for a foggy day in London this/last year

[@tobiasfaucette]

@@erenjam I'll send some fog your way from Denmark :D

[@wesleygrimes89]

I have so many wonderful things to say about this, I would probably ramble on forever! But I’ll keep it simple. This video really evoked some emotions from me. Japan is honestly the one place on earth I felt the happiest. You showed every beautiful piece of Japan there is to see in such an amazing way (and just note, I’m only on minute 12:14 so a little more than 6 minutes to go lol!) Thank you. Seriously. Thank you!

[@erenjam]
