A photo taken at the bustling Senso-ji Temple. The crowded approach stretches straight ahead, with the iconic large lantern and grand gate, likely the Kaminarimon, visible in the distance. The composition emphasizing depth visually highlights the vibrant street extending far into the distance.

A shot in the hallway of a retro wooden school building. The slightly wide corridor stretches into the distance, lined with classrooms. The aged construction evokes nostalgia, and the inclusion of a braided girl adds a story to this beautiful photo.

A photo taken at the Metasequoia Avenue in Shiga Prefecture. While many photos of this avenue emphasize depth, this one stands out for its snowy scenery. Snow was falling during the shoot, and as the trees line the road, the visibility gradually worsens due to the snow further down the path. This is another example of using depth to create a captivating visual.
