Each episode of "Through The Lens: Japan & Hong Kong" follows a different photographer as they take viewers through their process of creating, capturing and sharing beautiful images with the world. From hobbyist to freelance to professional photographer, the series documents image makers of every kind, a nod to the opportunities Instagram has made possible. For commercial photographer Keiko Kosaka (@wacamera, episode 4) of Osaka, Japan, Instagram is a place to enjoy, explore and evolve her unique style of creativity. "The one thought that's always with me is that I want to share mysterious and beautiful images," she says, "and I say images because a lot of my work contains prominent editing and is not just purely photography."
"TTL" also tells the stories of those who have turned their passion into a dream job, such as Hiroaki Fukuda (@hirozzzz, episode 6), a former businessman in Tokyo, who became a professional photographer after gaining huge popularity on Instagram and catching the eye of big brands including Nike and Christian Dior.
Season three of "TTL" is the show's first venture into international territory, as the first season explored New York City photographers in season one, then expanded its reach nationally, showcasing photographers from Chicago, Portland, Seattle, LA and San Francisco in season two. Viewers can look forward to topics ranging from iPhone photography and food, to aerial, travel, culture, landscapes and abstract photography.
"Through The Lens: Japan & Hong Kong" on AdoramaTV will feature visual artists @tuck4, @lielaine, @f7, @wacamera, @halno, @hirozzzz, @chiaoking, @edwardkb, @mr007, @najii66, @yuma1983, @vdubl and @wagnus, who will be sure to share their favorite tools and tips in each episode.
