Went to Tokyo’s Ghost in the Shell exhibition. Special thanks to @liamwong.com for the recommendation.

Amazing team, cast, and set design. Can’t wait for the release. Spent a day on the set beside @realgdt.bsky.social and it was incredibly inspiring 🥹🫶

Liam Wong had a wildly successful career as an art director for major video games when, during a promo trip to Japan, he bought a camera, and altered his life’s trajectory. In a rare, wide-ranging interview, the street photographer discusses his unique and fascinating journey:

Hell yeah. ARK/8 collab with @liamwong.com goes HARD 👌

I was invited to the opening of Masamune Shirow’s exhibit in Tokyo: creator of Ghost In The Shell. Artists, go check it out! ❤️
