In this episode of Nonnative Creative, Tokyo-based photographer Irwin Wong shares about how he got his start behind the camera, the interests that brought him to Japan, and his upcoming photobook Handmade in Japan. Irwin was born in Hong Kong and raised in Australia. He came to Japan on the JET program (Japan Exchange and Teaching program) and built his photography skills in his free time. This has led to a portfolio that includes world-famous faces like Yusaku Maezawa, Marie Kondo, Hikakin, Kengo Kuma, and Carlos Ghosn (to name just a few). His photobook Handmade in Japan features beautiful photographs and interviews with artisans from all across Japan that are engaged in traditional craft work. In this talk, Irwin gave straightforward advice about professionalism and consistency in your work, as well as how to make sure your projects are visible.
