About

Raised near salt air and fir trees, Tristan moved to Japan after a month-long assignment in 2019 turned into a permanent thing. Tokyo’s rhythm—electric one minute, hushed the next—fit the way he likes to work. The camera is an excuse to pay attention.

Philosophy

Images should feel inevitable. Not staged, not stolen. Just the right angle at the right time, with care in the margins: a collar straightened, a plant moved, a chair turned five degrees. The goal is texture you can hear.

Gear

• Sony A7 IV · Zeiss 35/1.4 · Sony 85/1.8
• Fujifilm X100V for walks
• Black Pro-Mist 1/8 · circular polarizer
• Two speedlights, small softbox, and a roll of gaffer tape

Working With Tristan

Most assignments begin with a 15–20 minute call to understand scope, people, and light. If travel is needed, itineraries are simple and punctual. Turnaround for selects is typically 48 hours; final delivery within a week unless otherwise noted.
