ERIC* with his Leica M7 and flyer for his upcoming exhibition & photo book Eye of the Vortex** that’s hitting this September. More info (Japanese only) here.
Eye of the Vortex is comprised of Eric’s intensely lit take on India. You can see a generous selection of these photographs on his website here.
This Eric is the real thing- he puts in real work making good photographs, fleshing out his experiences on streets around the world. His hustle isn’t fueled by a thirst for social networking fame and attention but rather making actual photography, the results of which are published as photobooks by the respected Art publisher Akaaka. This next book of his will be his fourth of color contemporary street photography. (Two are currently available at Japan Exposures) If this show is anything like his Good Luck China exhibition in 2008 it’ll probably be pretty crazy and if it’s like everything else he does, really good.

——————-
*Eric for one reason or another goes by his English first name in Japan. In Japanese “Erikku" is easy to remember and the guy is well known and liked in the Tokyo photo scene.
**The flyer and promotional materials for the show have the title as “Eye of Vortex”, but this has been corrected for the book.
