For my photo essay, I will be covering Japan Fes 2021, an annual festival celebrating the rich culture of Japan through its cuisine. The event takes place on September 19th from 10 am to 6pm, so I hope to get shots all throughout the day with different kinds of lighting. I hope to get action shots, such as chefs plating their dishes and topping their meals with garnishes. I also hope to get personal and moments of decision, such as people enjoying music, dancing, looking at food, or about to take a bite from their food. I think many pictures with a low depth of field will be used here.
This is timely because it is an annual event that could not occur last year because of the pandemic. I think it is also powerful to see the congregation of people of Asian descent celebrating their culture proudly after the rise in Asian hate crimes last year.
