Takehasi Hamma’s “Louis Vitton, Ginza, Tokyo,” is eye-popping in a much different way. It causes the viewer to focus on the hypnotic architecture of the namesake’s department store while almost burying the elegantly dressed model in the lower right corner. Intensely fun to look at, the shot also succeeds...
