Photographing a modern mountain home on Japan’s Izu Peninsula for The Wall Street Journal

On assignment for The Wall Street Journal’s Mansions section, I photographed an engawa-inspired home designed by Florian Busch Architects on Japan’s Izu Peninsula. With a short deadline and shifting weather, the shoot demanded communication, precision, and a wide range of storytelling tools. The result was a well-rounded document of the home, reflecting both the owner’s vision and the landscape that inspired it.
