Vaughan Brookfield, Platform 5 (DOCUMENTARY & STREET 2025)

Two friends share a quiet laugh on a Tokyo subway platform, lost in their own world as the crowd moves around them. There’s ease in their posture, comfort in their exchange, and something universal in the way connection can briefly pause the pace of a busy city. Shot on 35mm film, the grain and softness add to the sense of intimacy, capturing a fleeting, human moment amid the transit.
