We are going beyond Japan!
It all begins with an idea.
Beyond Japan: Indonesia Photo Fair
We are thrilled to announce our participation in the Indonesia Photo Fair, marking our debut at this international photography event—from Tokyo to Jakarta! While we won't be attending in person, five of our collective titles will be featured at their Photo Market, showcasing works by international photographers, including several Indonesians.
Join us in exploring the fair from September 5th to 8th. Keep an eye out for exclusive interviews by our contributing writer Anil Purohit with fair director Cristian Rahadiansyah and photographer Vandy Rizaldi, along with other exciting highlights coming soon to our Journal!

THE SHOW
Our latest show in collaboration with NOICE Magazine and Colin Czerwinski was successful—huge thanks to all those who made it possible! Take a peek at some of the photos when you scroll down this page.

Photo Prompts
In the meantime, we've recently launched an Instagram initiative to gather, share, and feature stunning photographs that align with our themes. The chance to participate is ephemeral—our Photo Prompts are shared through Stories and are available for just 24 hours. Additionally, our contributor Tiange Xiang selects his top 5 and showcases them as Reels. We encourage you to join, as it's a great exercise for revisiting your archives and discovering other talented photographers.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Anne Murayama
