Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m Simon Heather, a British-Japanese photographer and illustrator from Brooklyn, New York. I’m always on the hunt for rare shots, and I love to snap slices of life. And the world around us, bringing my images to life through storytelling, and illustration techniques. Playing with composites, scale, colour and lighting – to create vibrant and colourful scenes that capture our escapist fantasies for travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m self-taught. I got my first SLR when I lived in Japan when I was 19, where it was cheap to develop film. I always loved to snap photos of my friends and community and just experimented through trial and error. Got my first drone 8 years ago, and loved learning how to fly. And how the new tool opened up lots of avenues to capture photos from new perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon Heather Q3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My first shots were with my parent\u2019s compact camera – pictures of my family usually while travelling in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day, I want to capture images that are unique. rare, highlight different angles or perspectives, and conjure a mood or feeling. Even better, if it’s something you enjoy looking at immersively over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
