Why Should You Buy This Zine?

• A document of underground Japan that most cameras never reach — Yusuke Nagata turns his flash on the scenes other photographers walk past. The night culture of Tokyo and Osaka — raw, unglamorous, and rarely documented — is captured here exactly as it is.
  Pushed film as an intentional choice — Most photographs were shot on Tri-X 400, pushed to ISO 3200 and developed to match. The grain is heavy, the contrast is brutal, and every frame looks as alive as the streets felt. A valuable reference for anyone serious about film photography.
  A 3D anaglyph print included in every copy — An anaglyph print and a pair of glasses ship with every zine. Put them on, and one image steps forward off the print. See for yourself.

This isn't simply a night photography zine.
It's a record of the people and places that exist just outside the frame of everyday Tokyo and Osaka — and the flash that finally brought them into the light.
