Big thanks to Leica Spain for capturing and sharing photos and videos of the exhibition with me.

The original Lightroom preset “Lightra 400” has been updated: v250927. Compared to the previous version, it removes the typical digital blue cast more effectively and enhances both the brightness and rendering of skin tones and reds. Please download the latest version from the shared user folder. It allows JPEG and RAW files captured with digital cameras or smartphones such as the iPhone to be easily given a Portra 400 look using the free Lightroom Mobile app.

For pricing, refer to the website: https://shinnoguchiphotography.com/sale/shop/lightra400presets.html

更新：Lightra 400 v250927（Lightroomモバイル／デスクトップ用プリセット） 前回のプリセットよりもデジタル特有の青被りをしっかり除去し、肌色から赤にかけての発色と明るさを高めました。最新版は利用者共有フォルダからダウンロードしてご利用ください。 こちらは、デジタルカメラやiPhoneなどのスマートフォンで撮影したJPEGやRAWデータを、無料のLightroomモバイル版で手軽にPortra 400化するためのオリジナルLightroomプリセットです。

Lightra 400 / Lightri-X 400 for Lightroom Presets

PayPal: $70 USD (payments accepted in USD only, not in Japanese yen.) After making the payment, please contact me via Instagram, Facebook DM, or email. I will send you a link to a private Google Drive folder.

I created original Lightroom presets—“Lightra 400” and “Lightri-X 400”—that let you easily give your smartphone or compact camera shots (JPEG or RAW) the look of Portra 400 or Tri-X 400, using the free Lightroom Mobile app. Of course, they also work with RAW files from cameras like FujiFilm and Nikon, not just JPEGs. I personally don’t use it, but they’re fully compatible with the desktop version of Lightroom and Photoshop Camera Raw as well.

These presets were carefully tuned to match the natural look of negative film that I scan at home, with attention to the finest details. They can also be used to preview how your shots might turn out before actually shooting on film.

Here’s how I use them: I take a photo with my iPhone, import it into Lightroom Mobile, apply the preset, and share it as-is—no further editing. I just copy the image and paste it directly into social media, without saving it to my camera roll, almost like posting a piece of text. If I want a more refined result, adjusting white balance, exposure, and contrast slightly is usually more than enough.

iPhoneなどのスマホやコンパクトデジタルカメラで撮影したJPEGやRAW画像を、無料のLightroomモバイル版で手軽にPortra 400/Tri-X 400化する、オリジナルのLightroomプリセット「Lightra 400 / Lightri-X 400」を作成しました。もちろん、JPEGだけでなく、FujiFilm・NikonなどのRAWデータにも使用可能です。また、私は普段使用していませんが、PC版LightroomやCameraRawでも使用することができます。

自宅でスキャンしているネガフィルムの自然な仕上がりに合わせて、細部までこだわって調整したプリセットです。実際にフィルムで撮影する前の仕上がり確認用としても活用できます。

私の使い方は、iPhoneで撮影したらLightroomモバイル版に読み込んでプリセットを適用し、編集せずにそのまま共有するというシンプルなもの。写真をコピーして、カメラロールに保存せず、そのままソーシャルメディアにテキスト感覚で貼り付けてシェアするだけ。しっかりと追い込みたい場合は、ホワイトバランスと露出、コントラストを調整する程度で十分です。

Digital Vision Photo Exhibition: "Shin Noguchi: Everyday Life - Family" 9 cities in Japan, Jan 16 - Fab 28, 2025 by CURBON x LIVE BOARD

Displayed on large digital screens in 67 locations across 9 cities nationwide. Each photo is displayed for 15 seconds at approximately 5-minute intervals (note: some may appear less frequently during low-traffic periods).

Following the "Everyday: People and City" exhibition held from December 4, 2024, to January 15, 2025, the "Everyday: Family" exhibition, featuring works from my ongoing project One Two Three focused on capturing family moments, has now begun. The exhibition runs until February 28. I'm thrilled to share fleeting moments of light my family showed me amidst the extraordinary, presented in extraordinary sizes. For my next photo book, I’d like to focus solely on this project.

The "Color of The Streets" solo exhibition has just started, introduced at 2024 Lianzhou Foto Festival, one of China’s largest photography festivals. The exhibition features 20 photographs in 60 x 40 cm prints. You can find the booth at the Old Granary: G12-5, and the exhibition runs until February 4, 2025. I’d be delighted if this could serve as a bridge connecting cultures. Please come visit if you're in China!

I just received the latest edition of Robert Frank’s The Americans directly from Aperture.

From 2008 to 2019, Steidl had released a “final edition,” personally overseen by Frank himself, but due to his passing, reprints halted in 2012. This time, Aperture has taken over the rights and released a faithful reprint. The Trade Edition is widely available on Amazon or elsewhere, but this “Centennial Limited Edition” celebrating Frank’s 100th birthday is limited to 1,500 copies. This edition features a significantly upgraded binding at three times the price of the Trade Edition, with the book itself in clothbound hardcover, housed in a cloth-covered slipcase, and includes a separate booklet on Frank’s films, originally appended to the final pages of the 1968/1969 editions.

Frank’s photos, once printed on paper with inks from that era, carried with them the atmosphere of those times—a sense that has evolved in this edition, making it something distinct, something with its own presence. And yet, there’s a unique value here beyond just the design. On the back cover of the booklet, Aperture has included Allen Ginsberg’s essay written after he read the first edition, which couldn’t make it into the 1969 reprint and had since been tucked away in the archives. Like Kerouac, Ginsberg wrote with a grounded, raw simplicity—so good.

ロバート・フランク「アメリカンズ」の最新版がアパーチャから直接手元に届いた。

2008〜2019年にシュタイデルから発売されていたフランク本人が携わった「最後のエディション」シュタイデル版が彼の死によって2012年で増刷はストップしてたけど、今回その版権をアパーチャーが受け継ぎのそのまま復刻版として発売。普及版"Trade Edition"はAmazonジャパンでも普通に今後も買えるけど、今回届いた「フランク生誕100周年記念版」は1500部の限定版。普及版と製本が違っていてこちらは価格3倍の豪華さ。布貼りのハードカバー本体と1968/1969の2版の最後に追加されていた彼の映画に関する資料をまとめた小冊子が、同じく布貼りのスリップケースに収められている。

あの時代を歩いたフランクの目、それら写真があの時代の匂いとともにあの時代のインクと紙で刷られた写真集。というのとはもう別物としてここに存在してる感じ。それでもこの限定版にも装丁以外にしっかりと価値がある。それは、映画の資料集となっている小冊子の裏表紙には1969年の再版に差し込む予定が間に合わず倉庫に眠ったままだったアレン・ギンズバーグの初版読後の寄稿文が原文のまま印刷されていること。彼もまたケルアック同様に土臭い言葉をシンプルに書くね。最高。

I was featured over eight pages in the PhotoWorld Magazine China 2024/9, in a special section on street photography and the decisive moment, alongside Magnum Photos and others.

Amazing LEGO works by Brickgraph

“I'm running this project anonymously because it's the original photographer that should stand out, not me. The goal of this project is to showcase great work, and I just enjoy learning about the intent, composition, and lighting from the recreations and letting my imagination run wild. Yes, I am a Lego fan and an amateur photographer. I used to live near San Francisco, but now I'm in the Tokyo metropolitan area.”
