This is Honma’s Miyakojima

Hiroshi Honma is a photographer.

You can find him on Instagram at @hiroshi_homma. He has photographed many famous names such as Johnny Depp, Jean Reno, Kiyoshiro Imawano, Hikaru Utada, Ebizo Ichikawa, Tadanori Yokō… the list goes on.

The majority of the photos you see in ON THE TRIP are also the work of Honma. As the content writer since the creation of this app, I have always kept his work in mind while creating my content. Today, I want to share a bit of that experience with you.

Yes, this journey will be different from the others-- there are no particular photos or spots to introduce. Rather, we will document the real experience of a professional cameraman and how he explores a place like Miyakojima.

At the time of writing this intro, I had no idea what was going to enfold. At this stage, do you think you or I could take the same kind of photograph as Honma if we tried? What if we could follow his process, and learn from his perspective-- how about then?

I have no intentions of getting philosophical and explaining this or that. Let’s follow Hiroshi Honma together.
