My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 158 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
I'm really excited to introduce this week's guest too. It's not often we head across the other side of the world towards Asia. This week I was very privileged to talk with Johan Brooks. Johan is a street and documentary photography from Japan. He's lived in the UK and America so provides a different viewpoint to life in Japan. He has some fun street images but also some interesting documentary project work.
We talk about a couple of these which include the "fire corps" and "young mountains" as he calls them. Please do check out the images, especially of the sumo as you will see how they compliment the story. Johan is a very respectful guy and talks about shooting protests on the streets of Japan, as it sounds very different to other countries. You certainly get a flavour of the country and my outcome is the word "respect".
So in this one we chat about:
- olympic games
- protests
- black lives mattter
- fax machines
- robots
- humour
- morals
- colour vs monochrome
- humanity

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
