When Kalel Koven arrives in Japan, the French photographer swaps his camera for a smartphone and captures passers-by as they move through restless cities. These photographs are compiled in his series entitled Sleepwalkers. Whether in the street or on public transport, he takes his photographs instinctively. They are often blurry, but no less precise.
Kalel Koven’s work can be found on his website and on his Instagram account.
