I need help to remember the name of a photographer

[Dan Wake]

Hi, I remember about 10 years ago I was following a marvellous photographer who were shooting in anamorphic. He was doing street photography, expecialyl night time, the location was China or maybe Japan. Can you help to remember his name? Thx

 Yes, I remember him. He is Really big on shallow DoF. I could afford the cameras he uses but not the lenses he uses lol. He is very good with editing. Good glass and skill make it happen.

Great shots, but didn't really see evidence of anamorphic lenses?

There is quite a bit of cats-eye bokeh, but that's more likely to just be vintage primes.  Lots of shots that don't have any bokeh distortions either, so not all lenses are like that.  One shot had a horizontal streak but it looked to be added in post.

Still, great results.

I agree that there's no evidence of anamorphic lenses in those photos. If you like that photographer, you might want to check out Adolfo Rozenfeld, one of the world's premiere non-studio portrait photographers. He's based in Buenos Aires; uses mainly vintage lenses, on film cameras as well as Sony mirrorless. He also gives workshops; I took his portrait and lighting workshop last summer and it was brilliant (and very affordable for what you get). He's a great teacher. A lot of what I learned will help me in my video work as well. His photos look casual and candid but often entail weeks of pre-production (he visits people in their homes or asks them to send him photos, so he can plan color combinations and lighting). He spends a lot more time on pre-production than post.
