    CONTRIBUTOR LIMELIGHT
    Contributor Limelight: Gabriel Kogami

    For photographer Gabriel Kogami, every SLUG assignment is a chance to explore, meet new people and see his hometown from a different perspective. He loves capturing spontaneous moments and fleeting feelings he can return to on his Leica M8 with a Voigtländer 35mm f/1.4 lens. Check out his most recent photographs from our September Fashion issue in The Seamstress Behind Salt Lake Sewciety.
