The Tokyo Photo Triptych
A different perspective behind the camera β the triptych.
Youβre a photographer, and you love to shoot, but today youβre facing a challenge. What do you shoot? Maybe youβre tired shooting the same places and the same scenes, but you donβt have the option of going somewhere new.
You need a different perspective.
This is where the triptych comes in.
The wide shot.
The medium shot.
The close-up image.
Take this process with you wherever you go. It could be something that gets you out of a slump or recharges you and gets you goinβ and searching for new things.
Now keep in mind that the triptych can be used in many different ways. Imagine the forest being your scene. Youβre able to take that wide shot showing the whole environment, then start your story. Same goes with an abandoned mall in the middle of the US somewhere. No cars, just boarded up scenes that tell a tale of commerce that once was. Is there a loading dock? Are there signs? Is the area clean or filled with trash? All these are good setups for a triptych adventure. I imagine myself finding details all over the place.
